Starlink
-
Radio telescopes are picking up strange signals from an intelligent lifeform – ourselves. A new study has shown that satellite constellations like SpaceX’s Starlink swarm are unintentionally leaking signals that can interfere with vital observations.
-
With its Starlink satellite-based internet now up and running in many corners of the globe and touching all seven continents, SpaceX is introducing a dedicated arm for national security applications called Starshield.
-
One of the shortcomings of SpaceX's Starlink RV service is that it can only be used while parked. SpaceX has solved that issue with a mobile internet option for use on the go, a potential game changer for those who want to work from the passenger seat.
-
SpaceX launched its first Starlink satellite in 2019 with a vision of blanketing the globe in high-speed internet, and it has this week ticked off an important milestone in this grand plan, beaming the service down to scientists in Antarctica.
-
SpaceX is looking to expand the reach of its Starlink internet service, through a new partnership with T-Mobile that will see the telecommunications giant's wireless network combine with orbiting satellites to fill holes in its current coverage.
-
Days after SpaceX launched Starlink for RVs last week, Alphavan jumped on the news and announced Starlink-ready camper vans. The German brand will prep its eponymous vans for simple, plug-and-play compatibility with Musk's off-grid internet service.
-
SpaceX has found a new home for its satellite-powered internet, inking a deal with independent air carrier JSX to offer onboard Wi-Fi to customers later this year, making the airline the first to carry SpaceX's Starlink internet service.
-
SpaceX has lost up to 40 satellites of its Starlink internet constellation due to a geomagnetic storm that is knocking them out of orbit. The satellites were part of a batch of 49 that were launched on February 3 and had not reached their operational altitude.
-
SpaceX has introduced a new premium version of its Starlink internet with download speeds of up to 500 Mbps – but it will cost a great deal more than the standard 250 Mbps service.
-
SpaceX's aspirations to blanket the Earth in high-speed internet through a constellation of orbiting satellites continues apace, and a new study demonstrates the significant mark they are already making on the world of astronomical imaging.
-
SpaceX has been able to cut its satellite’s apparent brightness in half by using a dark coating on one of its satellites. Applying the coating to future satellites would help reduce their impact on delicate telescope observations of the night sky.
-
SpaceX began launching its Starlink satellites into orbit last year in a bid to eventually blanket the Earth in high-speed internet, and while the mega-constellation is far from complete, some are already tapping into the connectivity on offer.
