It uses Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite technology to communicate, though it is unclear if it was the cause of the loss of contact.

Surely this is the surface vessel and not the sub. Starlink communications are around 11 GHz, which can only propagate a couple meters in salt water.

Yeah, there’s very little communication with the sub, just short text messages and sonic pings, both of which have gone silent.
