Facebook To Launch Internet In Space For Africans In 2016 by illuminatic(op):
Facebook C.E.O Mark Zuckerberg In its official Facebook profile has announced the first project to deliver internet from space. As part of their Internet.org efforts to connect the world, are now partnering with Eutelsat to launch a satellite into orbit that will connect millions of people.
He said Over the last year Facebook has been exploring ways to use aircraft and satellites to beam internet access down into communities from the sky. To connect people living in remote regions, traditional connectivity infrastructure is often difficult and inefficient, so they need to invent new technologies.
As part of their collaboration with Eutelsat, a new satellite called AMOS-6 is going to provide internet coverage to large parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. The AMOS-6 satellite is under construction now and will launch in 2016 into a geostationary orbit that will cover large parts of West, East and Southern Africa. They are going to work with local partners across these regions to help communities begin accessing internet services provided through satellite.
He elaborated that this is just one of the innovations they are working on to achieve their mission with Internet.org. “ Connectivity changes lives and communities. We’re going to keep working to connect the entire world -- even if that means looking beyond our planet.” He said.
