S.E. Robinson, Jr.(@SERobinsonJr):STARLINK: Ignacio Madero, co-founder and CTO at Tera Rent, and team handled the European Space Agency’s live broadcast of the August 12th total solar eclipse from the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory in Spain. The observatory is at 2,000 meters altitude, where there is no cellular coverage. So they used four Starlink units and a Peplink MAX Orbit 4 router for redundancy. They were able to connect the feeds from their cameras, telescopes, and a drone! More Starlink news in today's EC below!
