What is a megaconstellation?

A megaconstellation is a group of many satellites that work together to deliver broadband Internet access, comprising hundreds or thousands of satellites. More than half of active satellites are part of a megaconstellation. If proposed megaconstellations are launched or completed as planned, by the 2030s they would constitute most of the satellites in orbit.
