About these figures
Downloads are capped by the plan at up to 200 Mbps. Uploads of 5–20 Mbps and latency of 25–60 ms are general Starlink guidance, not guarantees for the 200 Mbps plan. These are reference figures, not a speed test or a prediction from the sky map. Actual performance varies with demand, obstructions, routing and the home network.

Sky map
Dots show the ground points directly below the satellites. Map distances are ground distances; km in the list is the distance to the satellite.
Waiting for the dish obstruction map. The collector must be up to date.
The centre is overhead and the edge is the horizon. White dots are satellites above the selected angle with signal recorded in that part of the sky. These are potential candidates, not confirmed connections.

How Starlink works
From your device, through space and on to the internet. Light pulses follow a request out and a response back.
Your device
Your phone, PC or TV sends a request, for example when opening a website.
Wi-Fi / Ethernet
Router
The router connects devices at home to the Starlink dish.
Cable
Starlink dish
The dish sends and receives radio signals to and from satellites in the sky.
Radio to space
Low-orbit satellite
The satellite relays data. Traffic can also travel through other satellites using laser links.
Radio to ground
Ground station and Starlink network
A ground station receives the signal. Starlink’s terrestrial network forwards data to the internet.
Fibre / internet
Internet and service
The website, game or streaming service responds. The response travels back to your device.

Inter-satellite lasers:Data may travel through one or more satellites before reaching a ground station. The Starlink network chooses the route.

About the data and map
Sources and explanationDish in Notodden
Status, traffic, alerts and the obstruction map come from the local Starlink dish.
Satellites
Public orbital data is used to calculate satellite positions as seen from Notodden.
Alignment and signal path
The line shows the dish’s reported direction. The wedge width and signal animation are illustrations.
Satellite data and updates
Orbital data comes from CelesTrak’s Starlink SupGP dataset, based on SpaceX’s public orbital data. Positions are calculated with SGP4 in satellite.js for 59.57666° N, 9.27078° E.
Positions are calculated every five seconds. New orbital data is checked every two hours. A saved dataset is used if the source fails; its timestamp appears below. Older data and satellite manoeuvres may increase errors.
Orbital data: not loaded.
Range, obstructions and colours
A satellite is counted in the signal field when it is above the selected minimum elevation and falls in a map cell with recorded signal. White dots meet these conditions. Red dots are above the elevation threshold but fall in blocked or unmeasured cells. Grey dots are below the threshold or lack a usable obstruction map.
Blue in the obstruction layer indicates recorded signal; red indicates blockage. No colour means unmeasured. The map accumulates readings over time, so an unknown cell does not necessarily mean the view is obstructed.
Only Earth-oriented maps are matched to satellites. Maps older than three minutes are excluded from the count. Placement uses an approximate model with an 80° radius from overhead; this is not a calibrated boundary of the dish’s reception area.
The count shows potential candidates under these criteria. It does not confirm the connected satellite or the satellites the Starlink network will choose.
Dish readings and alignment
Status and available diagnostic fields are read from the dish’s local API at 192.168.100.1:9200. The page fetches dish readings every five seconds and obstruction maps every ten seconds. The server and collector must be running for fresh data. Status readings older than 30 seconds are marked stale.
Download and upload show actual traffic usage, not a speed test. Uptime is the time since startup reported by the dish. Missing fields appear as a dash.
The orange line shows the reported actual direction. The grey wedge is centred on the desired direction. Its width is illustrative and does not describe the electronic beam width or full reception area. The signal animation explains the communication principle.
Scale and map sources
The sky map shows angles: the centre is overhead (90° elevation), the outer edge is the horizon (0°). Distance from the centre varies linearly with elevation. North is up; azimuth is measured clockwise, with east at 90°, south at 180° and west at 270°.
The geographic map shows ground points directly below satellites. The scale and distance rings refer to ground distance. Kilometres in the satellite list show the direct distance from the observer to the satellite.
