Umjukujelwa we-SpaceX Falcon 9 ubonwa ngeli xesha lokuvezwa kweCocoa Beach, eFlorida njengoko iphehlelela uthumo lwenkampani lwesithathu nge-Starlink ngoJanuwari 6, 2020 eCape Canaveral Air Force Station, eFlorida.UPaul Hennessy / NurPhoto ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty I-SpaceX isungule ngempumelelo enye ibhetshi yeesetellites ezingama-60 ze-Starlink kwi-orbit ngoLwesithathu emva kwemini ngo-3: 00 emva kwemini ET ukusuka kwiSitishi soMkhosi wasemaXhoseni eKapa eFlorida
Kwakuyi-SpaceX's 100th ngokulandelelana ngempumelelo ukubhabha ukusukela ngeyeSilimela 2015, xa inqanaba lesibini lerokhethi le-Falcon lisilele ngexesha lokuhambisa imithwalo kwi-International Space Station, kunye nenkampani ye-16 ye-flight ye-2021.
Ungabukela ukusasazwa bukhoma komsitho kwi-SpaceX's usasazo lwewebhu ukuqala imizuzu eyi-15 ngaphambi kokuphakanyiswa.

Umsebenzi wangoLwesithathu kukusungulwa kwe-13th Starlink kwi-2021 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Inkampani ekhokelwa ngu-Elon Musk ibithumela i-Starlink satellites kwi-Earth Earth orbit rhoqo kwiintsuku ezili-10 ngokomndilili, isantya sokurekhoda esiya sikhathaza ngakumbi koontanga beshishini labo.
NgoLwesihlanu, umqhubi wesathelayithi uViasat ucele ngokusesikweni iKhomishini yoNxibelelwano yeFederal ukuba imise iSpaceX ekumiliseleni ezinye iziphuphutheki ze Starlink njengoko isiya kwinkundla yomanyano ukuba inyanzelise uphononongo olucokisekileyo lwendalo yeprojekthi yeqela leenkwenkwezi.
Iphepha-mvume elidlulileyo leFCC livumele iSpaceX ukuba isungule iisathelayithi eziyi-1,584 ze-Starlink kwindawo ye-550 yeekhilomitha. Ekupheleni kuka-Epreli, i-SpaceX yayisondele ekuhlangabezaneni naloo mda. Ke, ngo-Epreli 27, iFCC yasivuma isicelo seSpaceX sokuguqula iphepha-mvume ukuvumela inkampani ukuba isungule iisathelayithi ezininzi. I-SpaceX idlulise umda wokuqala we-1,584 emva kokuphehlelela i-batch ye-60 Starlink satellites nge-15 kaMeyi.
Uhlengahlengiso alutshintshanga inani elipheleleyo leesathelayithi ze-Starlink ezivunyelwe yi-FCC kwi-orbit ephantsi yoMhlaba. I-arhente ekuqaleni yamkela i-4,409 satellite satellite, kubandakanya i-2,825 kwindawo ye-orbital phakathi kwe-1,100 kunye ne-1,300 yeekhilomitha kunye neesetellayithi ezili-1,584 kwindawo yeekhilomitha ezingama-550. Iphepha-mvume elitsha linciphise inani leesathelayithi ezivunyelweyo kwiindlela ezijikelezayo kwaye zahambisa ezo zangasese ezisezantsi. I-SpaceX ithe ukusebenza kwe-Starlink kwimizila esezantsi kunceda ukunciphisa i-latency phakathi kweesathelayithi kunye nezikhululo zomhlaba, ngaloo ndlela kuphuculwe ukusebenza kwenethiwekhi.
UViasat ucela iFCC ukuba ime kancinci ukwazisa ngokusungulwa kweStarlink de iinkundla zomdibaniso ziphinde ziqwalasele uhlengahlengiso lwelayisensi. I-Viasat, ebonelela ngeenkonzo ze-broadband ezivela kwi-geostationary orbit (GEO), Ndenze isicelo I-FCC yenze uphononongo lokusingqongileyo kwiqela le-Starlink elikhula ngokukhawuleza phantsi koMthetho woMgaqo-nkqubo weSizwe wokusiNgqongileyo (NEPA).
I-FCC khange iqalise uphononongo olunjalo, isithi uphononongo lokusingqongileyo luyinxalenye yoxanduva loLawulo lwezoPhapho xa likhupha iilayisensi zokuhamba.
