While travelling in train your internet is spooky enough to work drastically and unethically. It goes on and off ! Signal disappears in the middle of nowhere. The net connection is unstable today.
Since 2019, SpaceX has been launching enough satellites in space, in an endeavour to connect digitally with every inch of this world, we can either imagine or be physically present.
The native tribes of Sikkiim or Mizoram where even the railway line hasn't reached yet, we might see a higher possibility of internet reaching there in future.
Advantage SpaceX
# Initial test of Starlink reveals, you can download 100 mega bits per second.
# Low latency can be achieved, the vital yardstick, to measure the delay between clicking on the web page and when the page is finally displayed on the screen.
As per initial testing observations by SpaceX, it's 20 mili seconds, which might prove to be effective to play the fastest video game on time.
How low latency can be achieved as claimed by SpaceX?
It's because, the satellite is as much closer to the earth surface. 550 km approximately.
Is there any disadvantage ?
Yes! Atleast initially, scientists feel so.
The satellite would see and cover small part of the earth surface, being closer to earth.
So, lot more satellites would be needed, in order to cover the large area of the earth.
That's one of the reason why SpaceX has a plan to launch 12,000 satellites as many as they can.
In the history of space, as many as 9000 satellites have been launched till date.
Questions have been raised how does it act to debris in space
SpaceX believed to have assured the concerned department in U.S about the above concern, and have recieved the green signal to launch the satellites.
The non workable or defunct satellites will be burnt in space, if the case arises to tackle the issue.
Will the mega-constellation satellites collide each other ?
These are some serious concerns, SpaceX is facing in last few years. But, it is believed that as many as 100 satellites are already in space for beta testing, which is underway in America.
SpaceX has developed the recieving stations as of the size of pizza. Yes, read correctly.
Uncensored Issue
If SpaceX gives unlimited usage to the users, what will happen in country like China. The founder of SpaceX, Musk had already speculated about it. China may ban SpaceX in their country.
SpaceX has been targeting specifically to moving objects like train, anywhere on sea area to change the demographics of internet.
SpaceX wants to go globally by 2021 or 2022.
Airtel along with OneWeb also aim to target their internet audiance by 2022 in India. You can read about it in my blog on the same page or on facebook page.
Can SpaceX fullfil its promise of connecting people globally
# with minimal latency
# with relatively and reasonable affordable price
# can it replace poor internet connection to good one.
With a resounding Yes.
Then, surely SpaceX can create a global revolution.
It is becoming household name in America can it become household utility too.
How did SpaceX became what it is today
The story starts back in 2001, Musk the founder of SpaceX had a dream of sending experiments to red planet. He had a wildest dream to send green house on red planet.
But after he formed a small team of his own, he discovered U.S rockets were very expensive but Russian rockets were cheaper. So, he went on to have a deal for it. But, he was turned away rudely, was spited on his shoes. That catapulted Musk to manufacture his own rocket, such was his daring dream.
They had successfully launched Falcon 9 rocket in 2018 one of the powerful rocket in the world. They're closing in on, being first to launch American astronauts from the U.S and developing and testing rockets to send people around the world in minutes, and even to Mars.
So, do let me know your thoughts, your concern about the whole concept, and i will be glad to address it in my next article.
And what do you think, you ready to pay to SpaceX for this revolutionary service to mankind?
Thanks for your precious time.
I salute you and the divinity within you.
