A few minutes ago, the American company "SpaceX" launched the Falcon 9 missile
, which includes about 60 of its Starlink orbital satellites into space at 4:56
pm Cairo time, with the aim of helping to establish a network that will eventually
provide a high internet connection. Speed globally.
According to the American techcrunch website, SpaceX has already
sided 62 satellites from Starlink by launching two experimental groups
, as the two missiles were launched in February 2018 from Vandenberg
in California, and 60 others were launched in May this year, and among these sixty,
no 57 satellites are in orbit, while 3 satellites are not operational after launch.
This mission will prepare this new group of 60 Starlink satellites in orbit,
which are characterized by a 100% increase in spectrum and construction capacity that is characterized by "removability"
, which means that at the end of its service life, it will burn completely,
to ensure that no Leave anything behind as soon as you stop using it.
This is one of 6 Starlink satellite launches that SpaceX says will launch its services
across the United States and Canada, and one of 24 launches that will provide
global high-bandwidth broadband service.
Besides laying the foundation for its global network of satellite Internet,
this noteworthy launch from the perspective of SpaceX's focus on reuse,
as the first phase of the Falcon 9 model used here earlier flew in three separate tasks,
a record for the Falcon 9 booster in terms of reuse It used to fly
fairing used to protect payload before in the Falcon Heavy Arabat-6A
mission that was launched earlier this year.
SpaceX is also planning to land again, and will attempt to recover again
using sea fishing vessels in the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX launches 60 satellites to provide the Earth with high-speed Internet
The Falcon 9 missile launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, late Thursday night, loaded with 60 satellites that can provide users on Earth with high-speed Internet connections.
Founded by Elon Musk, SpaceX aims to launch approximately 12,000 spacecraft for its "Starlink" network.
SpaceX is one of many commercial companies that have received a license to install a huge Internet in space.
Among other companies, OneWeb started in February when it launched six operating spacecraft.
The online retailer, Amazon, also has ambition in this regard; it plans to launch 3,200 satellites in what is known as the "Kebbour Project" or Project Kebur).
These companies are looking to launch spacecraft in low Earth orbit at an altitude of less
than two thousand kilometers above the planet, with the aim of reducing the delay
or slowdown in Internet communications.
Falcon set off from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base at 02:30 GMT Friday morning.
SpaceX announced that the deployment of Starlink satellites was successful one hour after the launch.
What do we know about the Internet project?
SpaceX kept most of the developments in its multi-billion dollar project.
The company launched two technology models - Tintin-A and Tintin-B - in February
2018, but the spacecraft that launched on Thursday looks very different.
Mask posted a photo on his tweet on Twitter earlier this month, in which the latest
platforms with a "compilable" design appeared.
Each satellite weighs 227 kg, has a number of high-performance antennas and one solar array.
The platforms contain electrical propulsion devices, and they form a system that ejects
electronically charged krypton particles to provide momentum.
The engine is required to raise the Starlink network from a height of 440 km
at the landing point to 550 km at the operating point.
The propulsion system will also keep the satellite in its correct position in the sky,
and lower it after its mission is completed.
Musk said that the design of the newly launched Starlink network is not a new design
, and that subsequent platforms will have higher specifications, including,
for example, common links between satellites.
Musk said it was "one of the hardest engineering projects I've ever seen"
and warned that many could see mistakes in the early stages of the launch.
Is there room for all those satellites?
There is growing concern about the number of satellites to be launched in the
next few years - for several purposes, not just for broadband Internet connections -
and about the possibility that this could crowd out the space environment.
To illustrate the picture, there are so far about 2000 satellites operating in orbit
around Earth, according to the database of what is known as the
"Union of Concerned Scientists." SpaceX's ambitions alone, if fully realized,
are sufficient to dwarf this number.
The biggest fear is that this crowding will lead to a collision resulting in debris leading to more devastating collisions.
SpaceX said it aims to be responsible and provide its satellites with the ability
to track and avoid orbital debris automatically.
Moreover, SpaceX added that 95 percent of the Starlink network components
are rapidly flammable once the atmosphere re-enters when parts of the busines
s exceed all current safety standards.
It will take some time for SpaceX to provide Internet connection.
In order to do this, it must launch many missiles, similar to the one the Falcon
launched on Thursday, loaded with 60 satellites.
