Short and sweet here

* There is an orbit called geostationary where satellite never leaves that spot (the satellite is far enough away from earth that the speed of the earth spinning is the same speed as the satellite) This keeps its position relative to earth the same.
* When one satellite flies ” out of the area ” another flies over to take over the job, Spacex’s star link is the perfect example of this.
