SpaceX can see us from other planets in addition to launching Starlink satellites into orbit and providing internet to people on Earth.
We people on Earth are currently invisible to any potential alien life out there, according to a new study accepted for publication in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society.
Elon Musk, the millionaire businessman who founded SpaceX, has been working on an extraordinary project to bring the internet to the world’s most remote regions. The project, known as Starlink, entails a network of satellites that will soon orbit the Earth and beam down high-speed internet to customers below.
Nevertheless, humans may finally be seen by them as more technology starts to float and soar about us, thanks to space firms like SpaceX.
Although it won’t happen immediately, the paper notes that it will probably take 800 years. But if Starlink keeps launching satellites above us at its current rate, it appears like Starlink will be the one to discover us.
Starlink has the potential to revolutionise how people connect to the internet, especially in places where traditional internet service providers have failed to offer dependable connectivity, with over 3,000 SpaceX Starlink satellites already launched and another 9,000 or so scheduled shortly.
- How do satellites work?
An artificial device sent into orbit around the Earth (or moon or another planet) for a specific function, such as communications, weather observation, scientific research, or military surveillance, is commonly called a satellite in space technology.
Satellites are built to endure the harsh radiation, vacuum, and temperatures of space. The tools and technologies, like antennas, solar panels, propulsion systems, and sensors, allow them to carry out their intended purpose while in orbit. Since they make it possible for international communication, navigation, and scientific study, satellites are becoming increasingly significant in the modern world.
