science and technology

The plan of Elon Musk, president of SpaceX to connect high-speed Internet to Earth with thousands of satellites has become a reality. The Starlink project is expected to start next week. The company will launch dozens of satellites in space as a training show for the Starlink project.

According to the Daily Mail, the initial launches will publish reduced versions of their satellites that will serve as a test, and the pilot versions will lack the ability to communicate with each other, a feature that will help the full satellites avoid colliding with each other.

This next batch of satellites will serve as a demonstration for the company to see the deployment plan and start assembling the network.

Starlink recently received approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to start the project after changing its satellite launch plans last month, when it had to adjust its plans to avoid unwanted space orbits that could damage the devices.

The revised plan will launch more than 1,500 satellites about 342 miles above Earth, and according to FCC files, the SpaceX Starlink project could eventually include up to 12,000 satellites orbiting directly above the Earth's atmosphere, providing users with speeds Up to 1 Gbps with up to 25 ms access time.
