Ukulawula ukugcwala esikhaleni kuye kwaba ngumceli mngeni kubalawuli.UKevin Quezada / Unsplash Isithuba sinokubonakala ngathi sikhulu ngokungapheliyo, kodwa isibhakabhaka esingaphezulu komhlaba ngokwenene sixinene-kwaye sikulungele ukuba njalo. Ngokwe- Indawo yaseYurophu s ubalo lwamva nje, kukho izinto ezingaphezulu kwama-29,000 ezikhulu kune-10 cm ubukhulu, kubandakanya amawaka eesathelayithi ezisebenzayo nezifileyo, ezijikeleza kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ezahlukeneyo emhlabeni. Kwaye minyaka le, ngaphezulu kweerokethi ezili-100 Blast kwaye uhambise into entsha emajukujukwini. Kuqikelelwa ukuba, ngo-2025, inani lezinto ezenziwe ngabantu ezithunyelwa emajukujukwini ngonyaka liya kukhula lidlule kwi-1,100.
Mva nje, ezona ndawo zixakekileyo zivela kwi-SpaceX. Iprojekhthi ye-intanethi esekwe ngamakroza, i-Starlink, ibisungula iisathelayithi ngesantya esiphakathi senjongo enye ngenyanga kulo nyaka. Ukusukela ekusekweni kwayo, i-SpaceX ithumele ngaphezulu kwe Iisathelayithi ezingama-600 ze-Starlink kwi-orbit kunye nezicwangciso zokuphehlelela amawaka angakumbi. (I-SpaceX isungula iisathelayithi zabathengi, nazo, njengenxalenye yenkqubo ye-satellite rideshare.)
Okwangoku, iqela le-Starlink lenza imveliso Iisathelayithi eziyi-120 ze-Starlink Inyanga qho. IKhomishini yoNxibelelwano yaseFederal (i-FCC) inike i-SpaceX ilungiselelo lerediyo ye-12,000 yeesathelayithi ze-Starlink. Kwaye inkampani ifake isicelo samalungelo okubekwa phambili kwi-satellites ezingama-30,000 kunye nearhente.
Isithuba sinokubonakala singenasiphelo, kodwa amathuba okubeka ngokukhuselekileyo kunye nokugcina into ekujikelezeni komhlaba ayiyo. Umngcipheko wokungqubana phakathi kwezinto esithubeni uyinyani, kwaye ukungqubana okukhulu sele kwenzekile. Nokuba kungqubana nje omnye kunokuvelisa intsimi yenkunkuma enobungozi enokukhubaza uluhlu lwezinto ezibalulekileyo esixhomekeke kuzo, ezinje ngonxibelelwano lwehlabathi kunye nokuhamba ngenqanawa, kwaye sibeke engozini oosomajukujuku ababekwe kwiZiko lamaZiko loMhlaba. Ukongeza, iziphumo zezezimali zinokubaluleka, uMichael Dominguez, owayesakuba ligosa eliphambili le-DOD kunye nosihlalo we-National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), ubhale kwi-op-ed ye-Government Executive kule veki .

Eminye imizamo yendawo yabucala, kubandakanya iAmazon kunye ne-UK esekwe kwi-OneWeb, bazabalazela ukukhuphisana ne-SpaceX kule ndawo yenoveli nayo.
Ekupheleni kwenyanga ephelileyo, iAmazon ifumene imvume yeCCC yokuhambisa iqela elifanayo le-intanethi elibizwa ngokuba yiKuiper, eyabhengezwa okokuqala kunyaka ophelileyo. I-constellation ecetywayo iya kubandakanya i-3,236 satellites kwi-orbit ephantsi yoMhlaba.
I-OneWeb icwangcise iqela elincinci le-satellites ezili-1 000 ukufezekisa ukusebenza okufanayo. Inkampani ifake ukhuseleko lokungabinamali ngo-Matshi kwaye ngoku iyathetha norhulumente wase-Bhritane malunga nesivumelwano sokuhlangulwa.
E-US, ulwazi malunga nesathelayithi kunye nendawo yenkunkuma yendawo yayinikezelwa ngokwembali liSebe lezoKhuseleko. Kodwa njengoko inani lezinto kwi-orbit lonyuka ngokukhawuleza kule minyaka idlulileyo, isikhokelo se-DOD asonelanga. Ke, ngo-2018, ulawulo lukaTrump lukhuphe i-odolo (uMgaqo-nkqubo woMgaqo-nkqubo weNdawo yesi-3) wokudlulisa uxanduva lokulungelelanisa imisebenzi yezithuthi kwindawo yeSebe lezoRhwebo.
Kunyanzelekile ukuba uthathe amanyathelo ngoku, kwaye umxholo wokusebenzisa indawo yaseburhulumenteni yokuqonda indawo kunye noxanduva lolawulo lwezithuthi akufuneki lusebenze kuphela, kodwa kufuneka lukhuthaze ubuchule, kokubini ngokwazisa / kulawulo lwezithuthi nakwezorhwebo olusekwe emajukujukwini, KwiDominguez yongezwa.
I-NAPA igunyaziswe yiCongress ukuba ivavanye ukuba yeyiphi iarhente karhulumente phakathi kwe-NASA, i-FAA kunye ne-DOD enesakhono sokulawula ukugcwala kwendawo kunye nokwazisa imeko.
