SpaceX visionary Elon Musk has already made 100 successful launches of the Falcon 9 rocket on Saturday. This time, it secured the fourteenth mission related to the Starlink satellites. Another 60 satellites have been launched into space, increasing their number to almost 800. Last year, SpaceX announced that it wants to start offering the Internet to those interested in part of the territory. Of the United States and Canada this year. Although there was talk of the summer months, the first users of the satellite Internet should have a slight delay this year.
At the beginning of the week, SpaceX sent an e-mail to previously registered selected people interested in satellite internet, in which it begins to present the service. As part of the test “Beta” operation, it speaks of a speed of 50 – 150 Mb / s with a latency of 20 – 40 ms. By the summer of next year, the latency (response) should be further improved to 16 – 19 ms. The monthly service fee is set at 99 USD (without taxes), ie more than 2 300 CZK. In addition, the applicant must count on an initial investment of 499 USD (11 500 CZK) za „Starlink
Kit“. So for the necessary hardware consisting of an antenna with mounting accessories and a Wi-Fi router.
It is not known how many people offered SpaceX the Internet offer. Apparently, however, at first only an insignificant amount in the context of the total number of applicants. At the end of the summer, Elon Musk announced that since the launch of registrations via the starlink.com website in June, almost 700,000 people have signed up in two months. potential applicants only from the USA. Musk can thus test how many applicants for a given price will have a real interest, resp. it can thus select real candidates who have trouble securing the Internet in the usual ways.
As we have previously informed, Elon Musk presented his vision of the so-called satellite constellation, which is supposed to ensure the availability of the Internet worldwide, about 5 years ago. flights. Its construction is estimated at about 10 billion USDwhen almost 12,000 satellites are to orbit our heads. At least according to the initial plans. A year ago, SpaceX applied to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for permission for another 30,000 Starlink satellites. In short, Elon Musk sees significant business in satellite internet with an annual turnover of up to 30 billion. USD. That is many times larger than the “rocket” services provided.
SpaceX will transport astronauts to the ISS again in November
After this year’s successful mission of the ship Dragon, thanks to which astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley found themselves on the International Space Station (ISS) for several weeks, another flight will take place this year. NASA and SpaceX announced on Monday that the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket should take place on Saturday, November 14, respectively. from Saturday to Sunday at 1:49 a.m. our time.
As part of the mission called “Crew-1”, the ship Dragon will be occupied by 4 astronauts. In addition to the three Americans (Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker), the Japanese Soichi Noguchi will also head to the ISS. The number of ISS “inhabitants” should thus grow to 7. It can be recalled that this month, thanks to the flight Russian Soyuz missiles changed the ISS crew. At present, two Russians and one American have completed their first 14 days in space.
