How Elon Musk Created The UberPool For Satellites
We live in an age now where sharing rides aren’t only a thing of Earth, but also of Space. Who hasn’t used Uber? If not, respond to this story below, because I seriously need to talk to you. Either way, imagine UberPool, but instead of people sharing rides, it will be satellites. However, the passengers only have a common destination, low orbit, or the high orbit. That’s what Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets are starting to offer now.
It was August of 2019 when it was initially announced that Elon Musk’s SpaceX, will introduce ridesharing like service for its rockets to send payloads of small satellites or smallsats to the low-orbit. The idea is to ride these payloads all at once, instead of having to reschedule an entire mission for just one payload at a time. This business strategy by Elon and SpaceX is designed to make satellite clients’ lives easier, by saving them time, extra effort, and of course, a lot of money. They just have to make the satellites and don’t have to worry about how and who will send them to the space. SpaceX and its rockets will take just care of that.
Fast-forward today, 2020, their carpool ‘feature’ has reached new groundbreaking milestones.
