SpaceX’s plan to build a global, high-speed wireless internet network using satellites has taken another step forward. The FCC approved the company’s request to deploy more than 7,000 very-low-Earth orbit satellites for its Starlink network. It follows the regulator giving SpaceX the green light in March to launch 4,425 satellites. When it’s complete, Starlink will […]
NASA’s new climate-monitoring satellites, which SpaceX ferried to orbit in May, are almost ready to keep an eye on our planet’s ice sheets, atmosphere and ocean levels. On June 13th, the twin Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) satellites switched on their lasers in search of one another for the first time. Those lasers […]
The question now is: Can it loft its rockets inside the newly opened launch window, or will it stay on the launch pad for ever and ever and ever? https://media.wired.com/photos/5b2c3c0966dc162128d4666e/master/pass/electronrocket.jpg

Reuters/Mike Blake The Federal Communications Commission approved Elon Musk’s SpaceX plan to build a global broadband network using satellites. The proposed system will use 4,425 satellites. About 14 million rural Americans and 1.2 million Americans on tribal lands lack mobile broadband even at relatively slow speeds. The top U.S. telecommunications regulator on Thursday gave formal […]
Thom Baur/Reuters The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gave its approval Thursday to Elon Musk’s SpaceX to provide global satellite broadband services. This is the first approval of its kind. The satellite system will consist of 4,425 satellites. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Thursday it had approved an application by Elon Musk’s privately […]
NASA announced this week that it’s looking for some citizen scientists to help out with a project. Six orbiting instruments make up NASA’s Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project and they are used to study Earth’s climate and the role clouds play in climate change. But sometimes it’s hard for these instruments […]
