Basics

A company branched off from SpaceX
Uses a VERY low earth orbit satellite constellation for high speed satellite internet
Not operational yet, in development, and some satellites in orbit
Will supposedly use a flat antennae (phased array based?) that is planned to be around the size of a "standard pizza box"
should also deorbit all satellites to not cause Space Junk
Main problem is annoyance to astronemers due to the many satellites in low orbit moving into and out of feild of veiw often (essentially like the iss being visible to the human eye, except smaller, yet also MANY more)
Since there are so many in the constellation, this has actually proven to be quite problamatic for astronomers
Granted space telescopes are unaffected, and measures can be taken to "dodge" their obits with ground telescopes
If successful one could get the same, if not better, preformance from satellite internet, than ground options, Including Fiber, WORLDWIDE
