Lo mfanekiso ubonakalisa ixesha elide ubonakalisa umkhondo weqela leziphekepheke zeSpaceX zeStlinklink ezidlula eUruguay njengoko zibonwa emaphandleni malunga neekhilomitha ezili-185 kumantla eMontevideo kufutshane neCapilla del Sauce, kwiSebe laseFlorida, ngoFebruwari 7, 2021.MARIANA SUAREZ / AFP ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty Iiveki ezimbalwa ezizolileyo zeSpaceX's Iprojekthi ye Starlink . Kodwa umongameli wenkampani yendawo u-Gwynne Shotwell uthe inkonzo enkulu ye-intanethi esekwe ngamakroza ikulungele ukufezekisa ukugubungela okuqhubekayo kwihlabathi liphela ngoSeptemba.
Sisebenzise ngempumelelo i-1,800 okanye satellites kwaye xa zonke ezo satellite zifikelela kumjikelo wazo wokusebenza, siya kuba nokugubungela umhlaba ngokuqhubekayo, ukuze oko kube ngathi lixesha elimisiweyo likaSeptemba, uShotwell uthe ngolwesibini ngexesha lenkomfa yewebhu eyayibanjwe liQela laseMacquarie lase-Australia.
Okwangoku, ngaphambi kokuba yenzeke, iSpaceX kuya kufuneka ukuba ivume inkonzo yayo kwilizwe ngalinye elinomdla wokusebenza, utshilo uShotwell.
E-US, iKhomishini yoNxibelelwano yeFederal igunyazise i-SpaceX ukuba isungule ukuya kuthi ga kwi-12,000 i-Starlink satellites kwi-orbit ephantsi yoMhlaba. Iqela leenkwenkwezi langoku le-Starlink limalunga ne-1/10 ubukhulu obucetywayo, kodwa yona isungule inkonzo ye-beta kumazwe ali-11 kuMntla Merika, eYurophu nase-Oceania. Njengoko i-SpaceX isungula ii-satellites ezininzi kwixa elizayo, abasebenzisi banokulindela isantya esikhawulezayo sokukhuphela. I-constellation enkulu iya kwandisa ukufikelela kwiindawo ezikude ngoku ezingenakho ukufikelela kwi-intanethi.
Kwinyanga ephelileyo, u-CEO u-SpaceX u-Elon Musk uthe i-Starlink ifumene ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sesigidi se-oda kwaye le nkqubo ayilindelanga ukuba neengxaki zobuchwephesha ezihlangabezana neemfuno ezinamandla.
I-Starlink igqibile ukwakha iqokobhe layo lokuqala le-orbital yeesethelayithi ezili-1,600 emva kokumiliselwa kwayo ngoMeyi 26. Malunga nama-500 kwezo ziphekepheke zisendleleni eya kwiindawo ezinqwenelekayo. Nje ukuba babe se-orbit, i-constellation iya kuba nkulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba ibonelele ngenkonzo esisiseko ye-broadband kwiindawo ezininzi zehlabathi.
Ukuthunyelwa kwesathelayithi kuye kwacotha ukusukela oko kwamiselwa ngoMeyi 26. I-Starlink ayinamsebenzi ucetywayo ngoJuni. Ukuqaliswa kwayo okumbalwa okulandelayo kuya kujolisa kwimikhombandlela ye-polar ukuze inkonzo yayo ifikelele kwezinye zeendawo ezikude zehlabathi (kubandakanya iAlaska).
Ukuqaliswa kwePolar kufuna iseti eyahlukileyo yemvume yeCCC. I-SpaceX isungula i-polar yayo yokuqala ye-Starlink mission ngoJanuwari, isasaza iisathelayithi ezili-10 kwi-orbit ehambelana nelanga ngaphezulu kwePole North. Inkampani ifake izicelo zokuba isungule iisathelayithi ezingaphezulu kwiiplanethi ze-orbital.
I-SpaceX ithe ukuzisa i-broadband coverage ngokusebenzisa ii-polar orbits kuya kuba negalelo kukhuseleko lwesizwe ngokuxhasa imisebenzi ebalulekileyo kurhulumente kwiindawo apho ukufikelela kwi-intanethi ye-satellite kuphela kwendlela.
