Musk says Starlink to provide connectivity in Gaza for aid organizations

[ad_1] Elon Musk said on Saturday that SpaceX's Starlink will support communication links in Gaza with "internationally recognized aid organizations", prompting Israel's communication minister to say Israel would fight the move. Musk said in a post on social media platform X that it was not clear who has authority for ground links in Gaza, but we do know that "no terminal has requested a connection in that area". A telephone and internet blackout isolated people in the Gaza Strip from the world and from each other on Saturday, with calls to loved ones, ambulances or colleagues elsewhere all but impossible as Israel widened its air and ground assault. International humanitarian organizations said the blackout, which began late on Friday, was worsening an already desperate situation by ...

Musk’s Starlink Beams to Container Ships So Crews Can Web Surf

[ad_1] Elon Musk's satellite internet service is heading deeper into one of the world's oldest and vast economic frontiers: the high seas.Hapag-Lloyd AG, the biggest container shipping line based in Germany, said Thursday it will install SpaceX's Starlink service aboard the ships it owns and manages after a pilot program involving four vessels proved successful. Charters won't receive the service under the current plan. According to Alphaliner data, 122 of the 259 ships that Hapag-Lloyd operates are company-owned. For crews that spend months at sea, reliable on-board connectivity is a luxury if it's available at all, partly hinging on proximity to land-based networks. During the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, seafarers' sense of isolation only intensified as they kept working...

Shocking space! SpaceX Starlink satellites face huge threat up in the sky

[ad_1] The low Earth orbit is becoming a dangerous playing field. At present, there are 4,411 SpaceX Starlink satellites that roam there and CEO Elon Musk plans to launch many more of them in the near future. As a result, these lower orbits are beginning to get very crowded. A new report has found that Starlink satellites had to make more than 25,000 collision-avoidance maneuvers in just a six-month period to avoid hitting another object in space. That is around 137 maneuvers a day, on average.As per a report filed by SpaceX with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), it was revealed that between the period of December 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023, over 25,000 moves were performed by Starlink satellites to avoid potentially dangerous approaches to another spacecraft, defunct sate...

NASA reveals how a powerful solar storm DESTROYED Elon Musk led SpaceX satellites

[ad_1] The Earth has been plagued by solar storm events this year. And while we have seen some really intense storms, including a terrifying G4-class geomagnetic storm last week, none have had the destructive effect of the one that hit the Earth on February 3, 2022. On that day, SpaceX ignored a solar storm forecast and went ahead with its launch schedule to deploy a fleet of its Starlink satellites. However, shortly after the launch, the solar storm ended up destroying as many as 40 of its satellites. NASA has conducted an analysis of the incident to find out exactly how the solar storm was able to destroy these satellites.According to a report by Universetoday, a group of scientists from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Catholic University of America came together to take a cl...

SpaceX Wins FCC Approval to Launch 7,500 Starlink Satellites

[ad_1] US regulators partially approved plans by Elon Musk’s SpaceX to operate another massive fleet of Starlink satellites. US regulators partially approved plans by Elon Musk's SpaceX to operate another massive fleet of Starlink satellites, giving the company the go-ahead to launch 7,500 of a proposed constellation of nearly 30,000 satellites. The Federal Communications Commission announced the step in an order and authorization notice published Thursday. SpaceX has approval to operate these next generation Starlink satellites, known as Gen 2, at three altitudes between 326 miles (525 kilometers) and 332 miles, according to the notice. The FCC said it's deferring “action on the remainder of SpaceX's application at this time.” “Our action will allow SpaceX to begin deployment of...
