en.Wedoany.com Reported - SpaceX has released preview images of two new Starlink antennas on its official social platform, which appear thinner and lighter in design.

Musk has not yet disclosed pricing information for the new hardware, but based on the preview images, the overall size of the antennas has been further reduced. One model may offer superior portability due to its compact size, potentially small enough to fit in a backpack. Currently, no hardware data on the new antenna models is available on the Starlink.com official website.

Ukrainian repair expert Oleg Kutkov recently discovered code evidence of two new antenna models in the latest Starlink firmware update log. One model, codenamed "rev5," is believed to be an iteration of the standard Starlink antenna first launched in late 2023; the other may correspond to a reinforced version of the existing Mini antenna. The code also indicates that the new Mini model is expected to feature a built-in battery and a USB-C port.

In another publicly released video, Musk outlined the company's technical approach to space data centers. He stated that AI satellites deployed in space have a simpler structure than Starlink satellites, primarily consisting of large-area solar cells, radiators, and some laser links, with antenna systems far less complex than those of Starlink satellites equipped with large phased-array antennas and parabolic dishes. In response to concerns that large-scale deployment could lead to orbital congestion, Musk replied that space is abundant and the issue is not significant.
