As some of you guys know, Elon Musk is set to launch a new batch of 60 Starlink satellites on Wednesday night. A huge amount of people has debated it on whether Elon Musk’s project well affect the sky, and some astronomers say it will block some of the Beauties in the night sky. They are going to have 1,000 satellites in orbit by the end of the year and has also been approved by the FCC to launch over 12,000 in total. Collectively they want to form a constellation of thousands of satellites, designed to provide low-cost broadband internet service from low-Earth orbit. There are some things that the satellites will help with.
First of all, Collectively they will form a constellation of thousands of satellites, designed to provide low-cost broadband internet service from low-Earth orbit. Meaning that they will be really useful and it will not cost as much. So, in general, it will be more useful and a lot more people will be able to access it.
Next, They have something called VisorSat, the new addition is said to keep the antennae on the satellites in the shade and prevents sunlight from reflecting off them by forming a barrier over the devices, making them less visible from the ground. Which will not block people’s views.
In general, I just felt like satellites that SpaceX sending satellites into space well have a more positive effect on the world. Plus a lot more people are going to be able to access them without having them blocking anyone’s vision.
