Weekly New/Digital Media Homework 18/11/16

Tesla is planning to put more than 4,000 satellites in orbit. This is done so that the World we live in can have internet where ever you are. There's been no date for the release of the satellite itself but it is said to be that it would orbit in a range between 714 miles and 823 miles above the Earth. 

  • Musk said in January 2015 that the plan would cost at least $10bn.
  • Measuring 4m by 1.8 by 1.2m and weighing 386kg. 
  • US government to operate a massive network of 4,425 satellites
I think that this is something that would help out everyone as people will be able to have access to internet when they need it which is useful as any information people are restricted from obtaining are able to do so because they now have access.
