SpaceX deploys direct-to-smartphone satellites in first launch of 2024
Jason Rainbow January 3, 2024
TAMPA, Fla. — SpaceX launched its first batch of Starlink satellites designed to connect directly to unmodified smartphones Jan. 2 after getting a temporary experimental license to start testing the capability in the United States.
Six of the 21 Starlink satellites that launched on a Falcon 9 rocket at 10:44 p.m. Eastern from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, carry a payload that the company said could provide connectivity for most 4G LTE devices when in range.
SpaceX plans to start enabling texting from space this year in partnership with cellular operators, with voice and data connectivity coming in 2025, although the company still needs regulatory permission to provide the services commercially.
On This Day in Space History: Jan. 3, 2004: NASA's Spirit rover lands on Mars
On Jan. 3, 2004, NASA's?Spirit rover landed on Mars !
The?Spirit rover , also known as Mars Exploration Rover 2, this was the first of NASA's twin?Mars rovers ?to land on the Red Planet. The other was named Opportunity.?
These rovers were designed to last just 90 days on Mars, but?Spirit lasted more than six years ! It's mission ended in 2011 after the rover got stuck in deep Martian sand.?
It touched down at the Gusev crater, where scientists believed to be an old lake bed that was once filled with water. NASA named the landing site Columbia Memorial Station to honor the astronauts who were killed in the?Columbia shuttle disaster ?less than a year earlier.?
More Than Just LEO: A Framework for SPD-8 and Space Critical Infrastructure
Nick Reese January 3, 2023?
Binary debates can make complex issues feel simple by papering over the real nuances that contribute to their richness. As space programs expand and major missions such as sustained presence are becoming a reality, debating whether space should be designated as terrestrial critical infrastructure is en vogue in space policy and industry circles. In my September 2023 op-ed,? Space Critical Infrastructure: Breaking the Binary Debate and a Call for Space Council Action , I proposed a new model to manage a national unity of effort to secure and maintain space critical infrastructure that is outside of the terrestrial critical infrastructure model governed by?Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21) . Today, humanity is nearing a new phase in human space exploration that will involve launching missions to new increasingly-distant celestial bodies and establishing permanent, sustained settlements outside of low Earth orbit (LEO) for the first time in history. Meanwhile, the debate about space and critical infrastructure is focused on designating space as the 17th critical infrastructure sector under the PPD-21 model.?
