According to foreign media reports, legend Elon Musk (Elon Musk) is considering building a global Internet satellite network to launch 700 satellites. These satellites weigh about 113.4 kilograms and are half the size of the current minimum commercial communications satellite. The project may cost at least 1 billion dollars and is now in the planning stage.



Of course, using satellites to build a global network is not entirely new, and Google has a similar plan, and it has acquired drone company Titan Aerospace, which uses drones to provide the Internet in remote areas, and a well-known balloon project Whye.

One advantage of Musk's satellite network is that it allows its SpaceX to launch satellites.
