How radiation impacts satellites
While satellites are remarkably good at providing communications in places terrestrial networks cannot, they all must be designed to handle the harsh environment of space.
The advantages of inter-satellite links
Satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations benefit greatly by being able to communicate with one another. Since they’re so close to Earth, they can only “see” relatively small portions of the ground at one time, making inter-satellite links essential in creating a robust global LEO network.
Exploring different altitudes within low Earth orbit
From 160 km up to 2,000 km, each section has particular attributes — and challenges
What are the components of a satellite?
Artificial satellites, which are objects people have built and launched into orbit using rockets, come in all shapes and sizes and orbit the planet in a variety of different altitudes, but most have some basic elements in common.
How satellites can create cell towers in the sky
One of the most intriguing aspects of 5G is its potential to be used with satellites to create "cell towers in the sky." This would allow for global coverage and high-speed connectivity, even in remote areas.

FAQ: Understanding space debris
Ever since the advent of the space age, humankind has been creating more and more orbital debris — sometimes by accident when objects break or smash into each other, or intentionally when defunct satellites are left in orbit for years or decades ...
Satellite smartphone connectivity is coming, but IoT will get there first
It’s far more likely we’ll see 5G, satellite-connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the near term — a primary focus of the upcoming E-Space constellation. Most IoT devices require only small amounts of bandwidth to send and receive data, making it simpler to create a global network to serve them.
A world of connected sensors
Internet of Things devices are spreading rapidly, and so is the need for connecting them
Space: It’s smaller than we think
For much of humanity’s time on Earth, the oceans seemed impossibly vast and indestructible. Over millennia, we treated it as an infinite resource and transportation medium — and polluted it with reckless abandon. We’re only now confronting the consequences of ocean degradation brought about by centuries of unregulated carelessness.
The same is now happening with space, another seemingly vast entity so large as to be immune from human destruction or waste.
“Space may be practically limitless, b
