Elon Musk's space internet

摘要

IT IS no secret that Elon Musk wants to build a space internet. His company, SpaceX, has been granted permission by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to set up a vast network of thousands of low Earth orbit communication satellites. But the company has been tight-lipped about the project, known as Starlink. Now Mark Handley at University College London has created a detailed simulation of what Starlink might look like, which he will present at a conference next week.
