Science Two hours before SpaceX – the American space of Elon Musk – sixty internetsatellieten would launch, was the take-off for a second time postponed. This time it was a software update responsible for the delay. Next week, plant the space with a new attempt: third time, good time?

“Delay to the software of the satellites to work and everything, triple-check,” reported the space recently via a Tweet. “We always do everything to the success of our missions is to increase, over a week, there is a following lanceringsmogelijkheid.”

But three hours for the message of the postponement, said SpaceX is still the promising message: “Starlink and Falcon 9 look good”. They would be an hour and a half to the Falcon Heavy, the two-stage rocket, SpaceX, to fire.

Eventually, it was the promising launch of Starlink at the last minute (two hours before take-off) once again postponed. While strong wind the last time was the cause of delay, is a software update that now.

Fast internet access

Starlink is the name that the promising project of SpaceX. The initiative will eventually 12,000 satellites in the sky to send to the whole world of high-speed internet access or high-speed internet access.

The satellites – which, incidentally, is 227 kilograms per piece of road every time per sixty launched. The first copies were actually two days ago (may 15th) is already fired, but when the wind was too fierce. Fortunately, there was a day later again an opportunity, but that too was, in the nick of time, not seized.

Once there 720 satellites – that are 12 launches – in circling the earth, there are already high-speed internet access are offered. And according to Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, the future looks particularly bleak. If all goes well, we would within a year be able to make use of the high-speed internet access.
