Space X Plans To Provide Super Speed Internet To The World By Launching 4,425 Satellites

Space X is now trying to launch satellites into space for the coverage of Super Fast Global Internet services. The company has applied to the government for permission to launch a staggering 4,425 satellites for this purpose.

Elon Musk and his team have been working very hard to do outstanding work for the advancement of the planet. This time Space X is taking initiatives to launch 4,425 satellites for providing faster internet around the world. That is more than twice the satellites in the earth orbit.

To achieve this super speed internet mission these satellites have to be spread around the orbit of the planet. The satellites will be placed in an orbit between the International Space Station and the geostationary satellites above it (ranging from 714 to 823 miles). Each one of these satellites will weigh close to 900 pounds and is destined to cover a wide space of 1317 miles.

The average internet speed of the entire world was recorded recently and it was 5.6 MB/Sec. If Space X does manage to get these Satellites and start functioning, the executed structure could provide a working bandwidth of 1 Gigabytes per second for global users. 

Space X suffered a minor a mishap back in September when a Falcon 9 rocket exploded. The reason was hinted by the company as ''A large breach in the cryogenic helium system of the second stage liquid oxygen tank ''.

NASA was recently concerned about the dangerous fuelling technique Space X plans to use for their future manned missions and also conveyed the use of Cooled oxygen as a serious trouble.

Many companies such as Boeing are also planning to engage missions in the final frontier, but what Space X is trying to accomplish for the people is massive. 

Let's all wish that Space X achieves this goal and connects the world with Super Speed.
