SpaceX Will Create Marslink as a First Step for Earth-Mars Communication | NextBigFuture.com
SpaceX will create Marslink as a first step towards greater than petabit per second communication between Earth and Mars.
Marslink aims to establish a high-speed data relay system—capable of transmitting 4 Mbps or more—across 1.5 astronomical units, the distance between Earth and Mars.
The system will use multiple satellites in Mars orbit and leverage Starlink’s advanced laser communication tech to maintain a constant, near-instantaneous data flow between planets.
This network could serve Mars missions, allowing real-time images and data streams from Mars to Earth, as well as supporting future ground operations and Mars orbit assets.
This is just a very basic first step.
Earth and Mars will ultimately need>petabit/sec connectivity. https://t.co/FBXeDQeczZ
