I, Brian Wang, have a made a new youtube video about how SpaceX will dominate global communications and air cargo by 2027. This will be how SpaceX will become a multi-trillion business with the financial muscle to fund building cities on Mars and the moon. I go over the mass production and costs of the …
Elon Musk is a free speech absolutist. Elon has revealed that he now owns 9.2% of Twitter. Elon is the largest shareholder of Twitter. Elon has about 73.5 million shares of Twitter. Twitter is up 25% to $49 on the new todays. Tesla shares are also up. Elon’s stake in Twitter is now worth $3.6 …
OneWeb has been making a satellite network of about 648 satellites. They have launched 428 but still need to launch 220. Russia Soyuz rockets were being used for the launches but now Russia might not launch the satellites. The satellites are in a circular low Earth orbit, at approximately 1,200 km (750 mi) altitude. They …
SpaceX notified the FCC SpaceX that Starship could be ready to launch Starlink Gen2 System satellites as early as March, 2022. The FCC notification is that SpaceX will focus on the configuration of 12000 generation 1 satellites that will work best with 30,000 generation 2 satellite. Previously, SpaceX was hedging its bets and had a …
SpaceX has launched the first Starlink v1.5 satellites which have laser communication between satellites. Starlink v2.0 satellites will also launch within the next three months in 2021. Version 2.0 satellites will be significantly more capable. SpaceX will transition to Gen2 satellites which will be larger and much faster. SpaceX started launching v1.5 Starlink satellites with …
Ohio researchers Kassas and his research team studied the Starlink system and analyzed signals being sent by the satellites. They developed an algorithm that could use the signals of multiple satellites to locate a position on Earth. Then, they set up an antenna on the campus of UCI and tried to use the network to …
SpaceX is adding laser crosslinks to Starlink satellites. These links allow satellites to transfer information to one another and communicate in other ways as well. SpaceX will use lasers to communicate between satellites in space and reduce the use of ground stations. This will allow satellite internet coverage to reach areas where ground stations cannot …
SpaceX now has connected over 90,000 Starlink customers and is adding 20,000 users per month. The growth rate is about 30% per month. SpaceX has over half a million orders/deposits globally. Elon Musk says SpaceX could add that many users by summer 2022. SpaceX will have to increase the pace of added users to 35,000-40,000 …
At the Mobile World Congress 2021, Elon Musk discusses the overall strategy around the SpaceX Starlink internet service and the goal to reach 500,000 users in the next 12 months. Starlink is filling in the gaps between 5G and fiber. Starlink will help the hardest to reach 3-5% of the world’s users. The combined power …
Viasat has not been able to stop SpaceX Starlink from launching more satellites. SpaceX just had another good launch. This is the fourth good Starlink launch in May, 2021. There are 1638 good Starlink satellites in orbit. Viasat is begging the FCC now to stop SpaceX from crushing Viasat. Viasat will go to the courts …
SpaceX Starlink has 1578 satellites in orbit which have combined download capacity of 26 terabits per second. If this download capacity could be perfectly distributed it would enable 260,000 people to have maxed out 100 Mbps simultaneous downloads. Most people will average about 10-20% of their available capacity when they are actively using their systems. …
