People will be able to access the Internet in the universe

In the future, people will be able to access the Internet in the universe thanks to a new network called Cosmonet that Russian engineers are working on.

According to Cosmonet designers, this new network will allow extremely fast Internet access and especially in aerospace.

Cosmonet's priority goal is to solve state-level issues such as ensuring communication between space equipment, controlling spacecraft from any location on the planet and establishing stable communications. with remote areas of the Russian Federation. It is especially important to ensure reliable communication with the polar.

In addition, Cosmonet will help check the movement of dangerous goods, communicate with ships from any sea in the oceans.

Deputy Director of the Russian Federal Space Agency Vitaly Davydov said the Cosmonet project promoted the existing ' Gonets ' satellite communication system and further improved quality.

According to him, in addition to attaching importance to the task of ensuring stable and regular communication with Russian space equipment, Cosmonet needs to be able to communicate with measurement and control blocks.

The world's first commercial space station.

To be like that, the Russian Federal Space Agency will raise the Internet to orbit. Currently, there is no similar scheme in the world. He expressed hope that Russia will be the first country to capture the orbital communication service market.

Company president ' Gonets satellite communications systems ,' said Aleksandr Galkevich, according to the plan, on orbits near Earth will arrange 48 satellites to signal the entire world, especially for Russia's territory has 18 satellites. As a result, Cosmonet will be able to become a much-requested service on the world market.

According to Galkevich, an integrated service for Internet users includes a voice communication solution, broadband Internet access, as well as a videoconference conference.

Cosmonet designers especially emphasized that this is a new generation communication system, independent of the infrastructure on the ground. Communication activities will be maintained through satellite-based stations. This means that in emergency situations like earthquakes, or natural disasters in general, when many ground stations are damaged, Cosmonet will still ensure stable operation.

According to preliminary data, the Cosmonet project worth nearly 20 billion rubles, investment capital will be returned after 10 years of operation.

As planned, the preparation work will last three years. It is expected that in the next 5 years, a full-value satellite group will be established for this space network system.
