NEWS: SpaceX has secured FCC approval to lower the minimum elevation angles for all current Starlink dishes, expanding their field of view beyond the prior 25 degree limit and allowing satellites to maintain connections with earth stations for longer while flying overhead. - Applies immediately to every current dish model, including Gen 3, Starlink Mini, Gen 2, and the original Gen 1, with no hardware changes required - Lowers the minimum elevation angle to 10 degrees for satellites below 400 km altitude - Sets the minimum at 20 degrees for satellites between 400 and 500 km altitude - Allows angles as low as 5 degrees for users at or above 62 degrees north latitude, a notable benefit for Alaska and northern Canada SpaceX told the FCC the change should improve latency and performance by letting satellites connect to more earth stations directly and maintain those links for longer, especially as more of the constellation moves toward roughly 480 km orbits.
