The satellites in Starlink's laser web have essentially formed a mesh network with light. Brashears says the nodes are constantly pinging for new acquisitions, some 266,141 of them per day. Although, some laser links can be maintained for weeks at a time. Across those 9,000 lasers, Starlink can transmit 5.6 terabytes per second. In a single day, Starlink lasers beam more than 42 petabytes between satellites. That's the equivalent of 28 million hours of 1080p HD video.
The sheer speed of laser communication is a major advantage for SpaceX or any spacecraft that needs to transmit a large amount of data. NASA is also looking into ways to leverage laser communication. The Psyche spacecraft is en route to an asteroid of the same name, but NASA also used the mission to test laser communication. The laser was able to beam data back to Earth at 267Mbps, paving the way for future missions to rely on lasers for primary communication.
