starlinksatellite internet service SpaceXfinally got permission from Federal Communications Commission (abbreviation FCC in English) to begin deployment of second generation satellites. While the proposal has been approved, the agency has also placed certain restrictions on the service, as at this point only 25% of all devices designed for the new grouping will be able to work.
According to the official company document Elon Muskrequest starlink it included the manufacture, deployment and operation of 29,988 new satellites. Nonetheless FCC He decided to allow only 7,500 devices to operate, given the criticism and objections raised by other companies involved in providing satellite Internet to their customers, as well as “maintaining a safe space environment.”
Even if restrictions are already in place, the authority has left open the possibility of expanding the number of devices allowed in the future.
Starlink is preparing second-generation satellites
Plan starlink with the second generation of satellites, it can operate at a frequency of 525; 530 and 535 km from the city of Land with tilt angles of 53, 43 and 33 degrees, respectively, in the Ku and Ka bands. However, what stands out from this decision is that the FCC authorization does not provide for the launch of more devices than those SpaceX already had approvals when in 2018 Elon Musk it received the green light to send 7,518 satellites for V-band operation, but never launched.
These commands can be adapted and included in the second generation grouping. starlink. “This means that our actions today do not increase the total number of satellites that SpaceX allowed to deploy, and actually reduces it slightly compared to the total he could otherwise deploy.”said FCC.
Big expectations for new Starlink satellites
SpaceX requested permission for second generation satellites starlink in mid-2020 and has been awaiting regulatory approval ever since. Company under management Elon Musk had to face constant protests from other companies in the sector, especially from Kuiper systemsbranch Amazon.
The tycoon who also owns Tesla Motors, Neuralink D Twitter provided detailed information on the technical evolution that the new constellation starlink. Musk pointed out that the new satellites would be more efficient than their predecessors and much larger, which is not necessarily a good thing as it creates a higher level of complexity to get them into orbit. The original satellites of the system are 2.8 x 1.4 meters, while the second generation satellites are 7 x 3 meters.
Another detail is that the resolution FCC makes SpaceX work with POT to ensure that the deployment of new satellites does not disrupt the agency’s mission. commission noted that nearly 30,000 second-generation devices could be dangerous for upcoming manned missions or spoil images from the telescope.
