Elon Musk breaks the isolation of Ukraine .. "Starlink" service for free

Billionaire Elon Musk has announced his support for Ukraine, which is under attack from Russia, by activating his Satalink's Satellite Internet service.

"Starlink's services are currently working in Ukraine. More stations are on the road," Mask wrote on his Twitter page.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Mikhailo Fedorov said that Musk's move came in response to the request of the Ukrainian Minister of Digital.

Fedorov communicates with Mask directly via Twitter, noting that while Musk is trying to "colonize Mars", Russia is trying to occupy Ukraine.

"While your missiles successfully landed from space, Russian missiles attack Ukrainian civilians," Fedorov said.

He continued, "We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and address Russia's wise to take a position."

Starlink, currently run by Spacex Space Explorement Company, allows people to connect to the Internet via the satellite dish.

The Starlink project is the company's dense capital project to build an internet interconnected with thousands of satellites known in the space industry as a constellation, designed to provide a high -speed internet to consumers anywhere on this planet.

SpaceX launched the service for the first time with a trial program for specific consumers for $ 99 per month.

Mask said earlier that Starlink would be an important source of financing some of his other plans.

Last week, Mask launched the project as it provides a free high -speed internet service to connect remote villages in Tonga, which has been cut off since a devastating and tantunic volcanic explosion last January.

Satellite allows large amounts of information to be transferred to any point on the ground without the need for optical fiber cables.

Starlink project details

The Speus X project targets the Internet to connect the Internet to all parts of the world by launching tropical satellites close to Earth, unlike traditional satellites, and since 2015 until recently it has published about 1,800 satellites, and has begun spreading service in some parts of the globe includes the United States, Canada and someEuropean countries.

According to the company, during the experimental version, users can expect to see data transfer speeds ranging from 50 megabytes per second to 150 megabytes per second and a time of transfer from 20 milliliters to 40 milliliters in most sites over the coming many months as you improve the systemAlso, there will be short periods of internet interruption.

Starlink states that with the launch of more satellites, the installation of more terrestrial stations and the improvement of network programs, data speed, response time and operating time will be improved significantly, and Elon Musk expected that the service will double its maximum speeds to 300 Mbps.

Starlink's satellites are more than 60 times closer to traditional satellites, leading to a decrease in arrival time and the ability to support non -possible services usually using the Internet via traditional satellites.

Subscribe to Starlink

The company currently allows subscription to a limited number of users for each coverage zone at this time, and requests will be implemented on the basis of the precedence of attendance.

Any person in the world can know when the service reaches his area through the "Starlink" website, but the spread of the service throughout the world will happen when the number of satellites reaches 10 thousand satellites.

The customer receives a reception dish that is proven at the top of his house or in an open place to receive the signal, the router router and the necessary tools for it, and the reception dish sign moves with the satellite, and it should not be cut off with a barrier in front of it.

The reception dish and the router router and the necessary tools have $ 500 to pay once, while the cost of service per month is 99 dollars.

500 thousand requests

It is noteworthy that Elon Musk announced last May that his company had received 500,000 requests to join the Internet.

It is worth noting that the American Federal Committee approved 2021 "SpaceX" plan to deploy some of the satellites "Starlink" in the low orbit of the Earth, which will allow the provision of a quick internet for those who have no opportunity to reach it.

The Starlink network is devoted to ensuring that the Internet is entering thanks to the deployment of a large number of small satellites with a weight of 500 kilograms.The first satellite of that network was launched in May 2019.
