Facts by #JoeHansenFacts# A flat Starlink dish follows satellites doing over 27,000 km/h, and the dish itself never moves. So how does it keep up? Under the cover is a big grid of tiny antennas, all driven by custom chips on one thin board. If every antenna sends at the exact same moment, the signals add up straight ahead. Start each one a tiny bit later than its neighbor and the combined beam leans to one side. Change the timing and the beam points somewhere else, with nothing moving. Kind of like a stadium wave. Each person just stands up a moment after the person next to them, and the wave runs around the whole stadium. The satellites are only a few hundred km up, so each one crosses the sky in a few minutes. University measurements show the network reshuffles which satellite each dish talks to every 15 seconds, at the same seconds of every minute worldwide. The first round dish had motors to aim itself at setup. Today's Standard and Mini have none. You prop them on a kickstand and the app tells you which way to point it. After that the panel stays still and the beam does all the moving.
