SpaceX just announced a new version of its Starlink satellite internet antenna that’s small enough to fit in a backpack. 

The Starlink Mini is a portable kit designed to provide access to the company’s satellite internet service for users on the go. SpaceX is offering a “limited number” of the Starlink Mini antennas for $599 each in an early access release, which is $100 more than the standard Starlink kit, TechCrunch reported. Measuring about 12 inches by 10 inches by 1.5 inches (30 by 25 by 4 centimeters), the Starlink Mini is roughly the size of a laptop. Its total weight — around 2.5 pounds (1.1 kilograms) — is 60% that of the company’s standard Starlink dish, which the company thinks will make it more appealing to travelers.
