Ngokwamahemuhemu, kwangoMeyi, i-SpaceX iza kuqalisa ukuphehlelela i-Starlink satellites yokuqala yeqela elitsha le-Intanethi yesathelayithi yeplanethi kwi-orbit ephantsi yoMhlaba. Kwiminyaka nje embalwa, iisathelayithi ezingama-12 ziya kuqaliswa kuthungelwano lweStarlink. Ngamnye uya kuthwala iinxalenye zentsimbi ezinkulu ngendlela yeenjini zokulungisa i-orbit kunye ne-antenna ye-silicon carbide mirror yonxibelelwano olunesantya esiphezulu phakathi kweesathelayithi ukunciphisa ukulibaziseka kokuhanjiswa kwedatha kuthungelwano lwesathelayithi.
I-satellite ye-Starlink ithelekiseka ngobukhulu kunye ne-Tesla Model 3. I-Federal Communications Commission (FCC) iqikelela ukuba ekungeneni kwakhona emoyeni emva kwexesha lokuphila kwesathelayithi, iya kuphuka ibe ngamaqhekeza angama-500, amaninzi awo aya kufikelela kumhlaba kwaye kunokubangela umonakalo, kuquka ukwenzakala okanye ukufa komntu. Ngokutsho kweengcali, i-satellite constellation yobukhulu bunamathuba angama-000% okwenzakala okanye ukufa rhoqo emva kweminyaka emithandathu. Okubangel 'umdla kukuba, isicelo seFCC kwi-SpaceX safika ekupheleni kukaFebruwari malunga neeveki ezimbini emva kokuba i-SpaceX ekhuphisana ne-OneWeb ingenise isicelo sayo kwi-FCC malunga namathuba aphantsi okutsha okupheleleyo kwe-Starlink emoyeni.
Ekuphenduleni kwayo kwi-FCC, i-SpaceX iqinisekisile ukuba iprojekthi ye-Starlink luphuhliso apho utshintsho luhlala lwenziwa. Iinjineli ze-SpaceX sele ziwuthathile umba wokutshintsha uyilo lweesathelayithi ukuze kupheliswe iindawo ezenziwe ngeentsimbi “ezixineneyo”. Kucetywa ukubuyisela isinyithi kwiinjini zokulungisa kunye ne-reactor. Akukho zibhengezo malunga nokulahlwa kwezibuko ze-silicon carbide. Okwangoku, i-SpaceX ibango lokuba uyilo olutsha lwe-Starlink luya kunciphisa ukubakho kobutyobo buwele emhlabeni bube zero. Iisathelayithi ezintsha zeStarlink ziya kutsha ziphele emoyeni. Ngokumalunga neesathelayithi esele zilungiselelwe ukuqaliswa okanye zenziwe ngokuyinxenye, i-75 Starlinks yokuqala iya kuthwala izinto ezisenethuba elihle lokufikelela kumphezulu weplanethi yethu.
Nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kwesithembiso sokungabikho kwe-debris evela kwi-Starlink "entsha" ewela emhlabeni, iingcali zikholelwa ukuba, ngokuxhomekeke kwiimeko ezithile, kunye noyilo olulungisiweyo lwesathelayithi aluqinisekisi ukutsha kwayo ngokupheleleyo emoyeni.
