Abstract:	The Starlink constellation, which currently has a total of 1693 satellites, may seem like a novel solution to the problem of communications in all regions of the world, but it was not the first to appear in our skies, as we will see in the paper, looking at the main characteristics of the constellations that currently exist. In this article we will only technically analyse the Starlink constellation, examining each of the satellites currently in orbit and looking at the usual parameters of a ground-to-satellite radio communication system. The orbital geometry will be discussed and the mathematical model for this link will be shown. This link will provide an exhaustive analysis of the attenuation losses in the communication standards, and will check to what extent the channel capacity proposed by Space X resembles reality; both in discrete points and in a global positional study, providing a first overview of the system.
