Marslink aims to establish a high-speed data relay system—capable of transmitting 4 Mbps or more—across 1.5 astronomical units, the distance between Earth and Mars.

The system will use multiple satellites in Mars orbit and leverage Starlink's advanced laser communication tech to maintain a constant, near-instantaneous data flow between planets.

This network could serve Mars missions, allowing real-time images and data streams from Mars to Earth, as well as supporting future ground operations and Mars orbit assets.
