satellite constellation
Coordinated spacecraft array
A satellite constellation is a group of artificial satellites working together as a coordinated system, typically sharing similar orbits and purposes.
Communications networks like Starlink use constellations of hundreds or thousands of satellites to provide continuous global coverage.
The term borrows from astronomy, where a constellation is a recognized grouping of stars.
