, came after SpaceX had pitched Starlink to four of the largest US airlines, without success, according to people familiar with the issue.
Part of the attraction for JSX was Starlink’s flat antenna, not much bigger than a large pizza box. It’s less bulky than the swiveling dishes widely used by other satellite services, so it fits atop the bodies of the smaller regional jets from Brazil’s Embraer SA that JSX flies. Intelsat says it remains the largest provider of in-flight service, with about 2,000 aircraft linked by its satellites and about 1,000 aircraft connected by air-to-ground systems that communicate with earthbound gear. Viasat says its in-flight system serves about 1,930 aircraft, with agreements to outfit another 1,210 planes.
“I’m thrilled,” said JSX Chief Executive Officer Alex Wilcox, who was aboard the flight over California trying out web surfing and WhatsApp calls on the system. “It exceeded my expectations.”
I knew before clicking that this it would be a lame article. You didn't interview Elon Musk.
Strap Musk to a satellite 🛰️ and send him off to space 🤭😁
2. PS - If Elon Musk's 16,000 Starlink satellites were orbiting at 30,000 ft, jetliners would probably smash into them. At 30,000 ft, gravity would quickly cause them to crash land anyway... or splash into the ocean! satellites Starlink science
Hello Time- BIG ERROR - satellites don't orbit at 30,000 feet (what jets travel at) they are hundreds of MILES above our planet. For geosynchronous communications satellites like the Dish Network, they're 25,000 miles out in space! satellites Starlink
Don’t encourage or that entitled con artist, he’s screwing up the night sky with his space junk. Oh yeah, you’re the birdcage liner that put him on it’s cover after he tried to cut his own hair.
