SpaceX has set for next week a new attempt to launch the Starlink mission, which wants to cover the planet with "cheap" high-speed internet.
The project, which is due to be completed in 2027, will be made up of approximately 12,000 satellites, which will allow data to be transmitted at about 50% more speed than is currently possible with current fiber optic cables. The goal is to cover Earth with high-speed, low-latency and affordable Internet access.
Starlink is also designed to bring cheap, high-speed internet to remote areas, airplanes, ships and cars, as well as enabling international video conferencing and online games with virtually no delays. In February, SpaceX released its first two Starlink prototypes, which it named Tintin-A and Tintin-B. The test helped demonstrate the basic concept and refine the design of the devices.
The first satellite of 60 satellites should have flown on Wednesday night, aboard a Falcon 9, but the wind that made itself felt led SpaceX to give up and mark the next day a new attempt . On Thursday, Elon Musk's space company again postponed the launch, this time in about a week, for "software upgrade" and "make sure everything is fine." M. F.
