Boost Cargo Baskets Fitted with Starlink Mini Mount

Boost Human External Cargo Systems has developed a system for mounting Starlink Mini antennas on its Airbus Helicopters AS350 and H125 AStar cargo baskets. The mount holds the Starlink hardware securely and is compatible with cargo basket lids, “ensuring a quick, easy, and secure fit as well as optimizing satellite reception for the Starlink,” according to Boost Systems.

“This solution enhances what we offer operators in the field,” said Boost Systems v-p of operations Jeff Yarnold. “With this capability, crews can confidently integrate an approved Starlink into their aircraft, enhancing real-time communication, data access, and overall mission effectiveness.”

Based in North Vancouver, Canada, Boost Systems specializes in providing mission equipment and human external cargo operations training. The equipment includes search-and-rescue, utility, and firefighting products, as well as engineering and aircraft certification services. The company has a Transport Canada design approval representative on staff.

SpaceX’s Starlink Mini system offers reduced-cost aviation service packages for low-speed aircraft, with General Aviation Local for aircraft flying at less than 261 knots starting at $200/month for 50 GB.
