For those of you who don't don't know, Azure Space is Azure's service that aims to deliver innovation to serve the mission needs of the space industry. Starlink satellite network, on the other hand, is a network of low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites that aims to provide satellite internet connectivity to the parts of the Earth wherein internet connectivity is scarce.
The two companies plan to connect Starlink's high speed and low-latency satellite broadband with Azure's new Modular Data Center (MDC) for achieving their goal. Furthermore, the two companies will also connect Starlink with Microsoft's global network, which includes the Azure edge devices, integrating SpaceX's ground stations with Azure networking capabilities.
