Transient Node Integration (TNI) allows launch vehicles and Starships to temporarily integrate with the Starlink laser network to achieve navigation <30 mm / <1 mm/s in real time, eliminating almost all orbital insertion correction budget (8–73 m/s savings per mission). TNI-R extends the concept to autonomous orbital rendezvous and refueling with docking accuracy <3 cm and a 40–63% reduction in total Δv. Implementable today with just a software update on the existing constellation + laser terminal.
