Caroline Delbert, Popular Mechanics · April 24, 2020Elon Musk says SpaceX''s ambitious Starlix satellite internet setup has made great steps toward providing good internet to previously low-priority locations. Musk’s Starlix plan accounts for an eventual 40,000 satellites in orbit to blanket the globe in internet coverage, far surpassing any existing satellite internet service.埃隆·马斯克表示，太空探索技术公司雄心勃勃的“星链”卫星互联网计划已经在为先前的低优先级地区提供优质互联网方面取得了重大进展。马斯克的星链计划最终将在轨道上部署4万颗卫星来实现覆盖全球的互联网，远远超过任何现有的卫星互联网服务。In the near term, however, Musk has said his goal for Starlix is to get to communities that have had almost no internet options until now. For these communities, Musk says, the “private beta” testing phase should begin in a few months, with public beta in six months.然而马斯克表示，在短期内他的目标是让星链进入那些到目前为止几乎没有互联网选择的社区。马斯克表示对于这些社区来说，应该会在几个月内开始“内测”阶段，公开测试将在六个月后开始。Like Musk’s battery farm in rural South Australia, Starlix has always been a solution to help mostly rural, underserved communities. While rollouts of faster and better internet infrastructure have started in cities—often in university towns and government laboratory areas—places with small populations and no research facilities are last in the pecking order. Something like a third of rural Americans still don’t have high-speed internet as an option.就像马斯克在澳大利亚南部农村的电池农场一样，星链一直是一个帮助大部分农村地区和服务不足社区的解决方案。尽管更快、更好的互联网基础设施已经在城市（通常是大学城和政府实验室）开始投入使用，但人口少、没有研究机构的地方排名最后。大约三分之一的美国农村人仍然没有高速互联网服务。The broadband internet network that covers the U.S. is like a circulatory system. Major arteries run from big city to big city, then smaller branches cover those cities and extend to nearby suburbs and exurbs. Hubs in those smaller cities branch out to reach more towns.覆盖美国的宽带互联网络就像一个循环系统。大动脉从一个大城市延伸到另一个大城市，然后较小的分支覆盖这些城市并延伸到附近的郊区和远郊。从这些较小城市的中心扩展到更多的城镇。People in the smallest communities, whether unincorporated developments or farmhouses, must often be reached one at a time. They end up being the costliest places to reach with service.在最小的社区里，无论是未公司的开发项目还是农舍，通常一个分支只能覆盖一个人。最终它们成为服务成本最高的地方。To circumvent that entire system, Musk and satellite internet providers before him have simply put internet into space—so instead of waiting for a physical line to reach them, these customers have internet rain on them from above. Like satellite TV, this has always been wireless by nature. But to put enough satellites in orbit to cover the world requires a huge investment in infrastructure in space. This is where Musk’s planned thousands of Starlix satellites have an advantage.为了绕过整个系统，马斯克和他之前的卫星互联网提供商只是简单的把互联网放入太空——如此这些客户就不必等待物理线路到达他们那里，互联网就会如雨点般从天而降。就像卫星电视一样，它本质上也总是无线的。但要将足够多的卫星送入轨道来覆盖全球，就需要在太空基础设施方面进行巨额投资。马斯克计划中的数千颗星链卫星有一项优势。When Musk says high altitudes first, he’s addressing a specific problem that satellite internet has had for decades. Because of the way most satellites orbit, these services have been much better for people at lower latitudes. Commercials for these services, in the Northern Hemisphere at least, say outright that “all you need is a view of the southern sky.” But half the world’s population lives above 27 degrees of latitude—that’s nearly four degrees higher than even the Tropic of Cancer.当马斯克说到高海拔优先时，他正在解决一个卫星互联网几十年来一直存在的具体问题。由于大多数卫星的轨道运行方式，这些服务对低纬度地区的人们来说要好得多。这些服务的广告，至少在北半球会直截了当地说：“你所需要的就是看一下南边的天空。”但是全世界有一半人生活在纬度27度以上的地区，比北回归线还要高4度。Musk’s secret weapon is quantity. By putting tens of thousands of satellites in orbit and connecting them in a network with one another, he says he can ensure smart global coverage in a way no one ever has. Each solar-powered Starlix satellite will have sensors and thrusters so it can detect its location and stay in line.马斯克的秘密*器武**是数量。他说通过将成千上万颗卫星送入轨道，并把它们彼此联为一个网络，就能够以一种前所未有的方式确保对全球进行智能覆盖。每颗太阳能星链卫星都将配备传感器和推进器，这样它们就能感知到自己的位置并保持在一条直线上。Musk also says these satellites will safely deorbit at end of life without leaving behind unnecessary space garbage. Indeed, as both rural and urban children without internet access struggle with COVID-19 (coronavirus)-induced homeschooling, Starlix seems more necessary than ever.马斯克还表示这些卫星将在生命结束时安全的脱离轨道，而不会留下不必要的太空垃圾。事实上，由于没有互联网接入的农村和城市儿童都在与COVID-19作斗争，从而导致在家上学，星链互联网似乎比以往任何时候都更有必要。

High speed internet shouldn''t cost more than $25/mo.可靠性和价格。我们会拭目以待。高速互联网的费用不应该超过25美元/月。Richard BayerSatellite internet has been around for many years. It required a telephone connection which is low bandwidth to communicate from you to the internet; the response with your data from netflix, whatever, would come high speed via satellite. Is that phone lix still required? Has Musk solved the problems of slow uplix speed and latency? What about VPN use which is getting more common?卫星互联网已经存在很多年了。这种技术需要一个低带宽的电话连接来实现从你到互联网通信；然而你从网飞获得的数据响应会通过卫星高速传输。还需要那个电话线路吗？穆斯克是否已经解决了上行速度慢和延迟的问题？VPN的使用更普遍情况下会怎样？rickMusk is amazing. I can''t wait to get rid of my Internet provider pirate.马斯克太神奇来。我等不及要摆脱现在海盗般的互联网提供商。clThere’s already viasat for rural areas. spacex can lower the prices? From $80 to $30 a month?农村地区已经有了viasat在提供服务。马斯克能降低资费吗？从每月80美元降到30美元？
YepHigh speed internet should be free to regular people, it is a have to have to live nowdays….高速互联网应该对普通人免费，对于生活在这个时代的人来说这是一种必需品…OckReliability & price. We will have to wait and see. High speed internet shouldn''t cost more than $5/mo. Hope it works hate Frontier Communications. Constant internet interruptions or disconnectivity for 10X that amount.可靠性和价格如何我们只能等着瞧了。高速互联网的花费不应该超过每个月5美元。希望它能起作用，讨厌前沿通讯的服务，总是持续的网络中断或更频繁的断开。Guru JayThis is only good only when the sky is blue. Say, you have a natural disasters or whatever, the connection is gone. Further, the maintenance cost of these satellites will be steep. It is not going to be cheap for sure. The connection will be prone to a lot of outside "noise" from other spectrum. For a percent high latency connectivity and bandwidth, either 5g which is low end microwave un-impacted by weather or fiber optics will be the best. This can only serve rural areas and of course, it will be a "better than nothing" choice.这种技术只有在天是蓝色的时候才有用。比如遇到了自然灾害或者其他什么天气，这种连接就消失了。此外这些卫星的维护费用将非常高昂。它肯定不会便宜。这种连接还会容易受到来自其他频谱的大量外部“噪音”的影响。对于高延时和高带宽的网络连接，不受天气影响的低端微波传输的5G技术，或者光纤是最好的选择。这种技术只能服务于农村地区，当然这是一种“聊胜于无”的选择。roscoeGod has a better solution! Reduce the population on this planet by about 1 billion people and humans will be more focused on survival than they will be staring at their smartphones and being concerned with "wi-fi" or connectivity issues.老天有更好的解决办法！将这个星球上的人口减少10亿，人类将更专注于生存，而不是盯着他们的智能手机，担心“wi-fi”或连接问题。DanNo price, no speed details, just pure hype.没有提到价格，也没有速度细节，只有纯粹的炒作。DewayneSomething that people aren''t mentioning and that I m very intrigued by is.

Then is will take a minimum of 2 * 200 miles / (speed of light) = 2.15 msec. When you consider that internet runs on IP, which requires occasional acks from the receiver to the sender to ensure successful data transfer, it seems unlikely that satellites could provide high speed intranet.假设你有一个200英里高的卫星作为连接。那么传输至少需要2 * 200英里/(光速)= 2.15毫秒。当考虑到互联网是在IP地址上运行的，它需要从接收者到发送者之间偶尔的确认来确保数据成功传输，似乎卫星提供高速网络是不可能的。BeffudledThat''s pretty cool! Nice to see some people think of others when they could just ignore the less fortunate and go on with their rich lives. Kudos Musk!这太酷了！很高兴看到有些人能想起其他人，即使他们可以忽略这些不幸的人，继续过他们富裕的生活。光荣的马斯克！DukeI''m not sure I want elon and his brother to have access to my data.

Save thier innocence and don''t let the crazy adults on the internet raise your kids除了孩子，我希望每个人都能接受服务。父母们为了孩子们要对没有监督的互联网说不，没有你的监督时他们不需要互联网，当然也不需要社交媒体。拯救他们的纯真，不要让互联网上的疯狂成年人影响你的孩子TomYou don''t need a phone line for satellite tv or intranet. I used viasat very slow and unreliable. My wife wants to work from home but can''t because of our slow dsl 6mb. We live 3.2 miles from the center of town. 4 miles from the 3rd largest public university in New York state but can''t get high intranet. People need help from the spectrum monopoly. Hope this gets to you, could take a while !你不再需要卫星电视或因特网的线路。我使用viasat的网络，非常慢而且不可靠。我妻子想在家工作，但是由于我们的6mb专线速度太慢而无法实现。我们住在离镇子中心3.2英里远的地方。离纽约州第三大公立大学有4英里，但无法获得高速网络服务。我们需要频段垄断来进行帮助。希望你能获得这种服务，但可能还需要一段时间！JackPWill be great if the lag is fast. Current satellite internet is not bad in terms of speed but the response per request is like 2-3 seconds.如果延迟很低就好了。目前的卫星互联网在速度方面还不错，但是每次请求的响应时间长达2-3秒。FrankYou can bet that it will contain ways to spy on everyone.可以打赌，这种技术会包含监视所有人的方法。Bill CI don''t want internet for every thing, for every body.I don''t want the internet connected to every thing.if you do then here is how to save some money.
