SpaceX wants to launch 4,425 satellites in orbit to beam high-speed Internet down to the world. Satellites would be launched into orbits at altitudes ranging from 715 miles (1,150 km) to 790 miles above Earth. Each satellite would weigh 850 pounds (386 kg) and could cover an ellipse about 2,120km wide. The network would offer Internet speeds of up to 1 Gbps for the end users. SpaceX founder Elon Musk has big plans for bringing low-cost Internet service worldwide, and it all starts in space.
