But you also want to be careful of how they use it,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to fight for their country, so I understand it. . . . it\u2019s just not what was intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are more than 23,000 Starlink ground stations operating in Ukraine today, allowing the country to connect with the constellation of more than 3,200 communication satellites. In October, SpaceX owner Elon Musk indicated the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2022\/10\/14\/musk-seeks-us-funding-of-ukraine-satellite-network-official-says\/\">would no longer fund Ukraine\u2019s use of Starlink<\/a>. He later reversed course and is in discussion with the U.S. Department of Defense about future funding for the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SpaceX announced in December it would create a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/12\/05\/spacex-forms-starshield-business-unit-to-focus-on-national-security\/\" target=\"_blank\">national security-focused business unit called Starshield<\/a> designed to build on its launch and satellite communications offerings and introduce new capabilities like Earth observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shotwell noted that while Starlink satellites could face threats on orbit \u2014 whether from U.S. adversaries or space debris \u2014 the constellation\u2019s size offers some level of resiliency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think numbers are very important,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine has relied
