SpaceX has launched a new constellation of satellites Starlink
US company SpaceX launched Falcon rocket on Saturday 9 with the 15th grouping in the composition 60 Starlink microsatellites. The rocket was launched from the cosmodrome at Cape Canaveral (Florida).
The first stage of the carrier was previously used when launching the third generation GPS navigation system satellite. (GPS III) in June 2020 year and Starlink microsatellites constellation in September of the same year. Shortly after the start, she was automatically landed on the platform Of Course I Still Love You in the Atlantic Ocean.. About an hour after launch, the satellites were launched into low-earth orbit..
The Starlink network is designed to provide Internet access by deploying a large number of small vehicles weighing up to 500 kg. According to SpaceX, placement in orbit in total 11 th. satellites and putting them into operation will cost $10 BN.
In May 2019 the first years were launched into space 60 satellites, in November of the same year, the second constellation of Starlink vehicles was delivered to orbit. 13-I and the 14th batch of satellites were launched earlier in October this year.

SpaceX is ready to use Starlink for the Internet on Mars and Starship for cleaning up space debris
SpaceX plans to use its Starlink satellites for more than providing broadband Internet connections to remote areas of the Earth, but also for communication on Mars. Gwynn Shotwell, Chief Operating Officer and President, told about this. Leader, which was listed by Time magazine as 100 most influential people, provided details of her company's plans for the Starlink Internet space network and the Starship super-heavy platform from the spacecraft and launch vehicle to deliver people and cargo.
SpaceX recently launched 15th batch of Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit (NOO). At the moment, it has already been launched about 700 small spacecraft, and with their help SpaceX hopes to make broadband Internet connections available in the most remote corners of the planet in the long term.
In response to a question about potential Starlink uses, the President of SpaceX pointed to the risky nature of the LEO satellite broadband business and added, that Starlink could become an integral part of SpaceX's mission to transform humanity into a multi-planetary species by providing manned missions to Mars.
among other things,, she noted: “We had many reasons to go into the telecommunications business. Companies always want to grow, and it was a good growth opportunity for us, but there are other reasons. Low earth orbit broadband constellation has never been successful. We always set ourselves grandiose, forward-looking goals. And to implement such a project was the goal, worth tackling. No one has ever been successful in this area.: Elon Musk always says, that this business is littered with corpses of companies, who failed to succeed. So it was a challenge for us too.
This was one of the reasons. The second was that, that as soon as we send people to Mars, they will need communications. In fact, I think, it will be even more important to have a Starlink-style satellite constellation around Mars. And then, Of course, we need to connect two planets - we need to ensure a reliable connection between Mars and Earth ".
After Starlink, Shotwell also spoke about her company's plans for a launch vehicle and SpaceX Starship.. It is customary in the space industry to develop products for specific tasks., но Starship, Perhaps, - the only platform, which aims to achieve a very wide range of goals.
eg, SpaceX has already received NASA recognition for the idea of ​​using the Starship Upper Stage for use as a lander for the lunar program "Artemis". The company also intends to use special variants of Starship as refuelers in orbit., which are designed to prepare a spacecraft with a booster stage for long-distance flights to the Moon and Mars, while SpaceX is already preparing to demonstrate this system to NASA. Founder Elon Musk expressed confidence earlier this month that, that the system will be ready for orbital refueling in 2022 year.
In addition to the two mentioned use cases (and the third - actually, manned mission to Mars) Shotwell mentioned, that SpaceX could use Starship to clean up orbital debris, which is currently a threat to the International Space Station (ISS) and other missions. By the way, recently, one of the scientists named the inoperative Starlink satellites as such a threat.
Her answer was followed by a question about SpaceX's plans to reduce and remove space debris.: "In fact, the Starlink program was a great opportunity for us, to challenge space debris and learn your own lessons. Initially, we began to deploy this group at a much higher altitude.. This is what we got the license for. But when we found, that satellites in this higher orbit could be for centuries or millennia, we didn't like it very much. Because there will always be satellite failures, as you mentioned - today there are remnants of missiles, littering the space environment and dead satellites, littering outer space.
Therefore, we asked to move the entire grouping to a lower height, so that these satellites can burn up in the atmosphere much faster. And we're actually putting satellites into a lower orbit, so that space bodies that do not work after launch quickly return to Earth and collapse.
I also want to mention here Starship is an extremely advanced ship. It will not only lower the cost of access to space, but will also become a vehicle, which will transport people from Earth to Mars. But he also has the ability to take cargo and command at the same time., and therefore, It is quite possible, we could use Starship, to get to some of the dead rocket bodies (mainly, Of course, to foreign missiles), to take some of this garbage from outer space. It is not simple, it won't be easy, but i believe, that Starship will offer the opportunity to do so. And I am very happy about that ".
In addition to a faster return to Earth's atmosphere (in the event of engine breakdown, it now takes about 5 years), Decreasing the altitude of Starlink satellites also reduces signal delays. It is critical for marketing and promoting technology. And using Starship to clean up orbital debris and debris could be the first ever mission of its kind.

Albanian platform Tring Digital leaves 39E and 42E
On the satellites Hellas Sat 4 (39°E) и Turksat 3A (42°E) Tring Digital Albanian Pay Satellite TV technical tests completed (Tring TV). Platform programs continue to be broadcast to subscribers on the original Eutelsat 16A satellite (16°E).
Albanian operator may have studied the technical feasibility of moving DTH services from the original 16 ° E position to others. Therefore, for the needs of short-term tests, he used containers at other positions and at other operators..
Tests first appeared on the Greek satellite Hellas Sat 4, which is operated by the Arab consortium Arabsat. Following this, similar tests of distribution of Tring Digital programs appeared on the Turkish satellite Turksat., which was an even bigger surprise, since the capacity at 42 ° E position is mainly used by domestic Turkish stations and several overseas channels, interested in providing their programs in the Turkish market.
While at 39 ° E, most of the programs were encoded, at 42 ° E one Albanian multiplex was broadcast entirely in the FTA.

Folx TV test signal with Astra 19.2 ° E
Popular German-language music channel Folx TV can again be received unencrypted (FTA) from Astra satellites from a position of 19.2 ° E.
However, this time the channel is broadcast from other parameters.. Distribution was interrupted in May 2020 years due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
Before the broadcast interruption of Folx TV station, transponder no. 117 at a frequency of 12,692 GHz, Pol. (H). The resumed transmission is currently in test mode (no name assigned ID) on another transponder of the BetaDigital operator. The channel is unencrypted (FTA).
Note, that a month after the suspension of distribution with 19,2 ° E new transmission successfully launched on Eutelsat Hot Bird 13e satellite (13°E) within the DVB-S2 multiplex of the MB Satellite operator. It is not excluded, that now Folx TV can be received from two orbital positions: 13° E is 19.2 ° E. It is also worth adding, that from the standpoint of Hot Bird the image quality parameters are slightly better: 720×576, 16: 9, 2,5 Mbit / s and sound: 384 kbit/s stereo.
Folx TV's 24-hour television channel focuses on popular hits in German-speaking countries (Austria, Germany and Switzerland).
