Prolongation of Mask's Global Internet
Prolongation of Mask’s Global Internet Author: David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor, retired judbarovski@gmail.com Abstract Following the Media, E. Mask’s Global system, being known as StarLink, to build a free global internet for everybody, it supposedly would comprise some tens thousands satellites of 250 kg each on near circular Low Earth Orbits (LEO), spread globally To prolong lifetime of the said system, ion thruster engine is used. Its lifetime can be up to 5 years. I suppose another approach can simplify those satellites and allows their lifetime up to 20 years to prolong. PV-cells can be used for energy supply. Orbital engine unit of satellite (i.e. both its engine and its fueling system) have to be substituted by new one near a moment, when its projected lifetime ends. A cargo spaceship mission can be used for that purpose simultaneously for maximally big group of the satellites ones in 5 years for the E. Mask p...
