Bermuda-based telecommunications company ABS. Because ABS-3a is a communications satellite, it needs to remain in a geosynchronous orbit.
And the more communication satellite constellations circulating our planet, the closer we get to a more connected world d
Air force researchers want to check design modifications to ion thrusters already flying on some advanced military communication satellites.
This is far closer than communications satellites, which are located in geosynchronous orbit at 22,000 miles (35,400 km). Google and Facebook also have plans to get remote parts of the world online,
The engine getting an in-space test on OTV-4 is advanced an version of the Hall thruster that powered the first three Advanced Extremely high frequency military communications satellites,
Most communications satellites have data-transfer speeds of around a gigabit per second, compared to several terabits per second for the fastest fiber.
