SpaceX plans to deploy Starlink around the Moon.
Human deep space communication has always relied on radio frequency.
Because of long distances, signals are weak, and bandwidth is very limited.
Now they want to switch to laser communication.
The basic principle is not complicated.
SpaceX plans to deploy a dedicated satellite constellation in lunar orbit.
Rovers, habitats, and astronauts on the Moon's surface can connect to the network by installing terminals.
Massive data is transmitted via laser communication, directly relayed back to the Starlink network in Earth's orbit.
This technology has already been tested on Earth.
Currently, in the low Earth orbit Starlink constellation, thousands of laser nodes operate around the clock.
Transferring this mature solution to the Moon can provide a total capacity of hundreds of Tbps.
This means that any corner of the lunar surface can achieve gigabit-level network coverage.
In the future, space exploration won't have to wait for high-latency, low-resolution videos.
Ordinary people on Earth can directly watch high-definition live streams from astronauts' first-person perspectives.
The infrastructure for interstellar human exploration is being gradually covered by commercial companies using rapidly iterated off-the-shelf technology.
