I-SpaceX ihlela ukwakha inethiwekhi "yechungechunge lwezinkanyezi" cishe amasathelayithi ayi-12000 emkhathini kusukela ngo-2019 kuya ku-2024, futhi inikeze ngezinsizakalo zokufinyelela ku-inthanethi ezisheshayo ukusuka emkhathini kuye emhlabeni.I-SpaceX ihlela ukwethula amasathelayithi “ochungechunge lwezinkanyezi” angama-720 ku-orbit ngokusebenzisa ukwethulwa kwamarokhethi ayi-12.Ngemuva kokuqeda lesi sigaba, inkampani inethemba lokuthi izoqala ukuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo “zochungechunge lwezinkanyezi” kumakhasimende asenyakatho ye-United States naseCanada ngasekupheleni kuka-2020, nokutholakala komhlaba wonke kuqala ngo-2021.
Ngokusho kwe-Agence France Presse, i-SpaceX ekuqaleni yayihlele ukwethula amasathelayithi angama-57 Mini ngerokhethi yayo i-Falcon 9.Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-rocket iphinde yahlela ukuthwala amasathelayithi amabili ku-blacksky yamakhasimende.Ukwethulwa kwabambezeleka ngaphambilini.I-SpaceX yethule amasathelayithi “ochungechunge lwezinkanyezi” ezinyangeni ezimbili ezedlule.
I-SpaceX yasungulwa ngu-Elon Musk, oyi-CEO ye-Tesla, umdondoshiya wezimoto zikagesi waseMelika, futhi inhloko yakhe iseCalifornia.I-SpaceX ithole imvume kuziphathimandla zase-US yokwethula amasathelayithi angu-12000 emigudwini eminingi, futhi inkampani ifake isicelo semvume yokwethula amasathelayithi angu-30000.
I-SpaceX inethemba lokuzuza umkhawulo wokuncintisana emakethe ye-inthanethi yesikhathi esizayo kusuka emkhathini ngokwakha amaqoqo esathelayithi, okuhlanganisa i-oneweb, isiqalo saseBrithani, kanye ne-Amazon, isikhondlakhondla sezitolo saseMelika.Kodwa iphrojekthi yesevisi ye-satellite ye-Amazon yomhlaba wonke, ebizwa ngokuthi i-Kuiper, ingemuva kakhulu ohlelweni lwe-SpaceX “lochungechunge lwezinkanyezi”.
Kubikwa ukuthi i-oneweb ifake isicelo sokuvikelwa kokuqothuka e-United States ngemuva kokuthi iqembu leSoftbank, umtshali zimali omkhulu ku-oneweb, lithe ngeke linikeze imali entsha ngayo.Uhulumeni waseBrithani umemezele ngesonto eledlule ukuthi uzotshala imali engu-$1 billion nesikhondlakhondla se-Indian Telecom uBharti ukuthenga i-oneweb.I-Oneweb yasungulwa usomabhizinisi waseMelika u-Greg Weiler ngo-2012. Ithemba ukwenza i-inthanethi ifinyeleleke kuwo wonke umuntu noma yikuphi ngamasathelayithi angu-648 LEO.Njengamanje, kwethulwe amasathelayithi angama-74.
Umqondo wokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ze-inthanethi ezindaweni ezikude nawo uyathandeka kuhulumeni waseBrithani, ngokusho komthombo ocashunwe ngabakwaReuters.Ngemuva kokuthi i-UK ihoxile ohlelweni lwesathelayithi lokuzulazula lwe-EU "Galileo", i-UK inethemba lokuqinisa ubuchwepheshe bayo bokumisa isathelayithi ngosizo lokutholwa okungenhla.
