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.

Version 2

SNC Version 2 Satellite - Deployed
Version 2 of the Satellite System represents the 2nd Generation and marks an important milestone in the evolution of satellite technology. At present, only a limited number of Satellites are in orbit, but they serve as the foundation for a much larger network. These initial Satellites lay the groundwork for expanding the reach of the Shazbotdom News Corporations Satellite internet system to higher orbits. The ultimate goal of this system is to extend internet capabilities all the way to Lunar Orbit. This ambitious endeavor will revolutionize communication and pave the way for unprecedented connectivity between Earth and the Moon. By establishing a network of Satellites in higher orbits, the Shazbotdom News Corporations aims to bridge the gap between Earth and space.
These Satellites are engineered to provide a remarkable throughput bandwidth of approximately 15.5GB/s. This exceptional speed enables the swift transfer of internet signals to the moon, ensuring seamless and efficient communication between Earth and Lunar Orbit. By harnessing this impressive bandwidth, the Shazbotdom News Corporations can facilitate various applications and services, making significant strides in lunar communication. The deployment of Version 2 of the Satellite System represents a crucial step towards achieving the long-term vision of a truly interconnected world. With the expansion of the Shazbotdom News Corporations Satellite internet system to higher orbits, the possibilities for exploration, research, and collaboration in space are boundless. This enhanced connectivity will undoubtedly propel humanity's understanding of the cosmos and contribute to our collective knowledge.

Version 3 of the Satellite System is the 3rd Generation of the Sattelite System. These are utilized to distribute Internet Provider Service to the Lunar Surface. A planned total of 3 rings of 13 Satellites will be distributed in lunar orbit to ensure complete coverage of the Lunar Surface and to ensure that there are no dead zones. As of the 25th of June, 2023, one ring is currently deployed in Lunar Orbit. With the updated technology on these satellites, users on the Lunar Surface should see speeds of 12.5GB/s at first, with firmware updates planned later to further compress data packets to get faster speeds.
