Yesterday, June 13, a Falcon 9 launch vehicle with 58 microsatellites launched from the spaceport at Cape Canaveral (Florida)

Starlink.This is the ninth launch of Starlink satellites. And another step towards the deployment of a global Internet coverage network. And at this time, applications for connection are already being accepted on the Starlink website. But first things first.

What is it all about

Elon Musk's company plansto create a global network that will provide the inhabitants of the planet with broadband Internet anywhere in the world, that is, even in those regions where there is no infrastructure. That's what satellites are for.

Now there are already 540 of them, and for normal operation of the network, at least 780 satellites are required. In total, Musk planned to put 12 thousand satellites into orbit.

The main advantages of such an Internet are the price,speed and accessibility. While we have already written about availability, the price is still unknown. But SpaceX promises that satellite Internet will be cheaper than current market offers, but at the same time 5-10 times faster.

Starlink will initially provide services in the US and Canada, and will begin full deployment worldwide by 2021.
