Company SpaceX, after two delays, launched a Falcon 9 rocket with 60 first communications satellites system, Starlink. It is expected that in the coming years the company will expand the orbital group Starlink to almost 12 thousands of satellites in low earth orbit that will provide high-speed Internet access around the world. Stream launch took place on the YouTube channel SpaceX.
Starlink — global satellite Internet, which will cover the signal almost the entire surface of the Earth. To do this, SpaceX is going to launch into space 11943 satellite. They will liaise with terminals to the Ground using phased antenna arrays, and together they will exchange data via laser link (the first satellites will not support laser communications). The orbital group will be divided into three parts according to altitude orbits. 7518 satellites are in circular orbits with altitude of 340 kilometers. 1584 satellite will be placed in a circular orbit with altitude of 550 kilometers. In addition, at an altitude of 1,150 kilometers, will is 2841 satellite.
The first 60 satellites will operate at an altitude of 550 kilometers, the rocket will lead them to a height of 440 kilometers, and to their target orbits, they will get using their own engines, Hall effect, operating on krypton. SpaceX notes that the engine, the satellites will not only get to their orbits, but also to automatically adjust the orbit to prevent collision with space debris.
