Elon Musk, a person full of ambition and entrepreneurial mind is now
all set to introduce to the world, a way which will be useful for people all
around the world. He plans on providing a vast area of coverage for Internet
and he’s going to do it in a way like no other has done before. His idea is to
provide internet directly and completely wirelessly from space by launching
internet beaming satellites into the low
orbit space, lower than the International Space Station. This will result
in low time Internet coverage from space to earth. This venture is expected to
generate revenue of more than $30 billion by 2025.
This will be done by launching more than 7000 satellites
into the orbit for which the permission has been given to SpaceX by FCC (Federal Communication Commission). Elon Musk has
been given time to launch half of them in 6 years and to complete the launch in
9 years’ time span as allowed by FCC. This project has been given a name of “Starlink”
in which total 12000 low orbit satellites will be launched into space. This
project is expected to cost $10 billion and to be operational by 2020.
This service will provide a cheap global connectivity and
internet access to remote areas where there was no internet until now, this
project will also allow Internet of Things to grow as there will be an extensive
and fast wireless connection. With such development from Space X, aerospace and
communication giants like Boeing and Samsung are also sending their internet
service satellites into the space. Google
and Facebook also have plans to
pursue such venture as Internet demand is going to double by year 2020. By 2020
their will be 3:1 IP address to global population that is 3 IP address or
internet device to 1 person. To meet such demand SpaceX space internet mission
will be extremely successful.
