What are the progress of the two major constellations of Britain and the United States in 2022?

Starlink

From January 6, 2022 to September 24, 2022, a total of 1,409 "Star Chain" satellites launched a total of 29 "Star Chain" satellites, a total of 1409 "Star Chain" satellites. Since its first launch in 2018, the "Star Chain" plan has launched a total of 3,399 satellites, of which more than 3,000 satellites are still on track.

As of now, SpaceX has produced more than 1 million "star chain" user terminals, and has more than 500,000 users. There are more than 40 countries and regions (including the announcement of the layout but not being launched for the time being). These include Malta, Moldova, Norway, the Republic of Dominica, North Malaysia, the Philippines, and many other countries and regions that have served in this year.

And, according to recent SpaceX official Twitter and the National Science Foundation Twitter, the "Star Chain" satellite Internet service has arrived at McMurdo (MCMurdo), which has arrived at the coast of the Antarctica. Testing polar services, pilot laser network communication, and increasing bandwidth and connection to the American scientific research activities, which also means that the "Star Chain" can now be used on all seven continents.

In addition, recently, Musk also said that SpaceX has conducted promising negotiations with Apple's use of the "Star Chain" satellite Internet to support the iPhone's "Emergency SOS" satellite communication function. Earlier, Musk has announced on his personal Twitter that the second -generation "Star Chain" satellite that will be launched next year can be connected directly. In addition, he also clearly responded to Tesla cars in the "Star Chain" network directly on Twitter. It is reported that these cars are currently connected to the ATT LTE network.

In July, FCC officially approved the "Star Chain" to provide satellite Internet services on cars, ships and aircraft. Shortly after being authorized, SpaceX officially announced the launch of Starlink Maritime, which specializes in maritime, which can connect vessels around the world. More than a month later, Royal Caribbean Cruise Co., Ltd. announced that it would put this service on all ships.

In May, the "Star Chain" added a portable service option. It only needs to pay an additional $ 25 monthly to help users bring the terminal under the signal with a good signal, and freely use this satellite Internet access service. Soon after, the "Star Chain" launched Starlink for RV dedicated to RVs.

In April, short-distance aviation operator JSX and SpaceX signed the "Star Chain" Wi-Fi service protocol on the board. It is planned to be equipped with a "Star Chain" terminal with a SpaceX for 100 aircraft to receive the Internet with near-ground orbital satellites and provide passengers with free free Wi-Fi.

In March, SpaceX provided the "Star Chain" terminal to Kyiv, Ukraine in batches, and provided local high -quality and high -speed Internet services. In May, there were more than 10,000 "Star Chain" terminals in Ukraine. 150000.

One web company (OneWeb)

As of February 11, 2022, a company has launched a total of 428 satellites. The company's plan is to deploy 648 satellites in its first generation of constellations to provide low -delayed Internet services worldwide.

However, due to the influence of the epidemic and the conflict of Russia and Ukraine, a net company has announced the forced layoffs and entered the program 11 of the bankruptcy law in March this year.

It is understood that a net company originally scheduled to launch 36 orbit satellites at the Bayeonul Aerospace launcher at Kazakhstan in March this year. However, after the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine, Russia issued an ultimatum to a company, saying that before a network guarantee that its satellites will not be used for military use, they refuse their launch satellites and ask the British government to sell their shares held by the company. A net company rejected Russia's request, and the company's board of directors decided to cancel the launch plan and evacuated the employees from Bycouns. The Russian government subsequently detained the 36 satellites.

This has also led to a web company forced to postpone the satellite deployment plan, and its road to resumption of launch is also very bumpy. In March, a net company signed a launch agreement with SpaceX to restore the launch of the low -oriented satellite Internet constellation. In April, Yiyang announced that it signed a formal launch contract with the Indian Space Agency (ISRO). In the new contract, it is planned to launch the low -orbit Internet satellite for the low -orbit Internet satellite for the Indian GSLV Rockets this year.

In July, the French satellite company Eutelsat announced the acquisition of an online company that the British government will still hold the shares of the company after the merger, which will be listed in Paris. At the same time, the French government will also have some of the company's equity.

Recently, Arianaspace announced a settlement agreement with a company. The former is a company that has launched 428 satellites with Russia's Alliance Rockets, and this agreement may resume a suspension of a satellite launch. It can be seen that a net company has been working hard to restore launch. In addition, according to the latest news, a net company announced that the latest 36 broadband satellites have arrived at the Indian Satashida Aerospace Center from the production base of Florida. These satellites are planned to use India's largest GSLV Mark3 medium -sized rocket launch in October this year. It is worth mentioning that this is the first commercial launch of the commercial launch company of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

According to the current plan, there are 6 batches of launch of the first -generation constellation deployment of a company, of which 3 will use SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket 9, 2 GSLV Mark 3 medium rockets, and once use Aliana 6 Rockets. A net company plans to complete two launch within 2022, and 3 more launch in 2023. There may be a redundant launch.

In 2022, three -quarters are about to pass, and the global satellite Internet is accelerating. In the next article, in addition to the two major representatives of the "Star Chain" and Yiyang, what other satellite constellations have made this year. Stay tuned!
