A string of light spots streaking across the night sky like a meteor shower and a thruster that shines blue like a sci-fi movie; this is the Starlink satellite that Elon Musk launched into space. According to data from the European Space Agency in May, there were only about 4,300 active artificial satellites in Earth orbit at that time. Humans have only launched 11,670 satellites in history, while Musk’s Starlink has launched 1,944. That is to say, Half of the satellites in the sky are now owned by Musk, and he plans to send a total of 42,000 satellites into low-Earth orbit.
The Starlink project is a part of his SpaceX company. He will use these tens of thousands of satellites to provide Internet access to every corner of the earth, no matter where you are, without delaying video viewing. So, will Starlink subvert the existing communication network? For example, broadband at home and 4G, 5G, etc., how does Starlink work, and what is this sci-fi ion thruster? And more importantly, is Starlink a significant innovation, or is it a threat to humanity? Today, let’s discuss Elon Musk’s Starlink plan in detail and only talk about technology. Although the content is a bit long, you can get more detailed and accurate content from it, and please be patient.
