Why It Matters: Starlink uses a constellation of satellites in low-Earth orbit to provide connectivity to customers including airlines. Earlier this month, SpaceX launched its 7000th Starlink satellite into space. Of these, over 6000 are working, according to data kept by astronomer Jonathan McDowell.
爲什麼重要：Starlink利用地球低軌道的衛星星座爲包括航空公司在內的客戶提供連接。本月早些時候，SpaceX將其第7000顆Starlink衛星送入太空。根據天文學家喬納森·麥克道爾（Jonathan McDowell）的數據，其中超過6000顆正在工作中。
Earlier on Thursday, Air France said that it will start rolling out onboard Wi-Fi service in all its aircraft with Starlink from 2025.
週四早些時候，Air France表示將從2025年開始，在其所有飛機上使用Starlink提供機載Wi-Fi服務。

"The service will be accessible from smartphones, digital tablets, and laptops, and each customer will be able to connect several devices simultaneously."
「在飛行過程中，客戶將能夠輕鬆與朋友和家人保持聯繫，關注所有世界資訊的最新動態，在線玩電子遊戲，當然還可以觀看直播電視、電影和系列節目，」該航空公司表示。「該服務將支持智能手機、平板電腦和筆記本電腦訪問，每位客戶還可以同時連接多臺設備。」
