I-SpaceX iceba ukwakha inethiwekhi ye "star chain" malunga ne-12000 satellites kwindawo ukusuka kwi-2019 ukuya kwi-2024, kwaye ibonelele ngeenkonzo zokufikelela kwi-Intanethi ezikhawulezayo ukusuka kwindawo ukuya emhlabeni. I-SpaceX iceba ukuphehlelela i-720 "ikhonkco leenkwenkwezi" kwi-orbit ngokusebenzisa i-rocket 12. Emva kokugqiba esi sigaba, inkampani inethemba lokuqalisa ukubonelela ngeenkonzo ze "star chain" kubathengi abasemantla e-United States naseCanada ngasekupheleni kuka-2020, kunye nokugubungela ihlabathi liphela ngo-2021.
Ngokutsho kwe-Agence France Presse, i-SpaceX ekuqaleni yayicwangcise ukuphehlelela i-57 Mini satellites nge-rocket yayo ye-Falcon 9. Ukongeza, i-rocket ikwacwangcise ukuthwala iisathelayithi ezimbini kumthengi omnyama. Uphehlelelo lwalibaziseka ngaphambili. I-SpaceX ikhuphe iisatellite ezimbini "zeenkwenkwezi" kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo.
I-SpaceX yasekwa ngu-Elon Musk, i-CEO ye-Tesla, isigebenga semoto yombane yaseMelika, kwaye ikomkhulu layo lihlala eCalifornia. I-SpaceX ifumene imvume kubaphathi base-US ukuba baqalise ii-satellites ze-12000 kwii-orbits ezininzi, kwaye inkampani ifake isicelo semvume yokukhupha i-30000 satellites.
I-SpaceX inethemba lokufumana umda okhuphisanayo kwimarike ye-Intanethi yexesha elizayo ukusuka esikhaleni ngokwakha amaqela esathelayithi, kuquka i-oneweb, i-British start-up, kunye ne-Amazon, isigebenga sase-US sokuthengisa. Kodwa iprojekthi yenkonzo yesathelayithi ye-Amazon yehlabathi jikelele, ebizwa ngokuba yi-Kuiper, isemva kakhulu kwisicwangciso se-SpaceX se "star chain".
Kuxelwe ukuba i-oneweb ifake ifayile yokhuseleko lokungatshoni eUnited States emva kokuba iqela leSoftbank, olona tyalomali likhulu kwi-oneweb, lithe alizukubonelela ngemali entsha ngayo. Urhulumente wase-Bhritane ubhengeze kwiveki ephelileyo ukuba uza kutyala imali eyi-1 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kunye ne-Indian Telecom giant Bharti ukuthenga i-oneweb. I-Oneweb yasekwa ngusomashishini waseMelika uGreg Weiler ngo-2012. Ithemba ukwenza i-Intanethi ifikeleleke kuye wonke umntu naphi na nge-648 LEO satellites. Ngoku, iisathelayithi ezingama-74 ziye zaphehlelelwa.
Umbono wokubonelela ngeenkonzo ze-Intanethi kwiindawo ezikude nazo zinomtsalane kurhulumente waseBritane, ngokutsho komthombo ocatshulwe yiReuters. Emva kokuba i-UK irhoxile kwinkqubo yesathelayithi ye-EU "Galileo" yokujonga umhlaba, i-UK inethemba lokuqinisa itekhnoloji yokubeka indawo yesathelayithi ngoncedo lokufunyanwa ngasentla.
