Starshield is advertised with three areas of focus: earth observation, communications, and “hosted payloads,” whichwould effectively allow governments to customize what its spacecraft can send into space. SpaceX says that Starlink already offers “end-to-end user data encryption” but that Starshield has additional security that can meet “the most demanding government requirements.” However, the exact capabilities and scope of the network were not detailed.
Other claimed features include the use of an “inter-satellite laser communications terminal” which would allow SpaceX’s hardware to communicate with partner satellites and function as part of the same network.
