Global Satelite Network
- In an effort to bring forth information at a faster pace throughout the world, Shazbotdom News Corporation has teamed up with the Shazbotdom Imperial Space Administration to create a Global Satellite Internet service that will be low cost for the end-users.
Satellites
Version 1
SNC Version 1 Satellite - Deployed
- Version 1 of the Satellite System marks the first generation of satellites launched by the Imperial Space Agency for Shazbotdom News Corporation. These satellites play a crucial role as the backbone of the Global Satellite Internet system, providing high-speed connectivity to users across the globe. With a remarkable bandwidth throughput of 6.5GB/s, these satellites ensure efficient data transmission and enable seamless internet access for millions of people. The initial launches of the satellite system took place using the Low to Mid Orbit Launch System. During each launch, four satellites were sent into space, gradually expanding the network's coverage and capabilities. However, it was with the development of the Heavy Launch System that a significant breakthrough occurred. This advanced launch system enabled the simultaneous launch of six satellites, greatly accelerating the pace at which the low orbit system could be reinforced.
- To date, the Imperial Space Agency has successfully launched nearly three dozen satellites into Low Earth Orbit. These satellites join forces to form a formidable constellation of orbital platforms, laying the foundation for a robust and reliable satellite network. However, the agency does not plan to stop there. Several more launches are already in the pipeline, aiming to boost the constellation's strength to nearly 100 orbital platforms. The continuous expansion of the satellite system demonstrates the Imperial Space Agency's commitment to providing cutting-edge technology and connectivity to the global population. With the deployment of these advanced satellites, users can expect enhanced internet speeds, improved coverage, and a more seamless online experience.
- With the development of the Version 3 Mini Satellites, the Version 1 Satellites will be decommissioned within the next 6 months as the new V3 Mini's are deployed into Orbit.
