The development of cheap ubiquitous Internet involved several global companies, among which is the company of Elon Musk called SpaceX. Just recently, Musk said that they plan to use small satellites to provide Internet access.
At the moment, Elon Musk is not ready to tell all the details of the project, but in his official Twitter account, he said that it was a question of “very cheap Internet access.”
According to the resource TheVerge, SpaceX plans to produce 700 satellites, each of which weighs about 115 kilograms, which is significantly less than the weight of similar products. The total cost of creating satellites should be about 1 billion dollars.
In addition, it is reported that, most likely, the company Elon Musk in the production of satellites will be the company WorldVu Satellites Ltd.
Recall that a similar project is at Google, on which they have to launch 180 satellites for the delivery of the Internet. Also, the company Facebook is working on network deployment.
