outer space. Two prototype low-Earth orbit satellites made by Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., better known as Foxconn, took off aboard a SpaceX rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in southern California on Saturday. The launch of the LEO satellites marks a key moment for the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer as it diversifies into new sectors, a shift that is taking greater urgency as some of its established businesses such as smartphones and laptops struggle. Foxconn is aiming to demonstrate that it has satellite technology to tap growing demand for communications from space. While Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. has made and launched more than 5,000 LEO satellites for its Starlink constellation, Foxconn is betting it will be able to make satellites primarily for corporate and government clients. The satellites, co-developed with Taiwan’s National Central University, are the size of a backpack, weigh about 9 kilograms (20 pounds) each and carry cameras, communication devices and other equipment. They are designed to orbit Earth every 96 minutes at an altitude of 520 kilometers (323 miles).

Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet division, has attained a state where its cash inflow matches its outflow. Starlink, recognized as the largest satellite enterprise globally, operates a constellation of around 5,000 satellites in low Earth orbit.

Elon Musk's Starlink, officials told The Economic Times. A source said that Starlink gave "satisfactory" answers with regard to the company's data storage and transfer norms. "The company will be given a global mobile personal communication by satellite services (GMPCS) license to offer services after the security check is completed," they added.

India is unlikely to go in for hyperloop technology for ultra high-speed trains in the near future as the technology is at a 'very low level' of maturity and may not be economically viable at the current juncture, NITI Aayog Member V K Saraswat said on Sunday. Saraswat, who is heading a committee to explore the technological and commercial viability of the Virgin Hyperloop technology, further said some foreign companies have shown interest to bring the technology in India. «Hyperloop technology as far as we are concerned, we found that the offer which came from foreign countries are not very viable options.

Elon Musk said on Saturday that SpaceX's Starlink will support communication links in Gaza with «internationally recognized aid organizations», prompting Israel's communication minister to say Israel would fight the move. Musk said in a post on social media platform X that it was not clear who has authority for ground links in Gaza, but we do know that «no terminal has requested a connection in that area».

In many ways, Elon Musk is the world’s biggest doomsday prepper. The billionaire entrepreneur has made his fortune and reputation chasing a future bettered by technology. The flip side of his optimism is a fixation on worst-case scenarios he is determined to avoid.

Elon Musk recently announced he would provide connectivity support to internationally recognized humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza through his satellite communication system, Starlink. He stated on the social media platform known as X (formerly Twitter) in response to a statement from the U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She had raised concerns about the communication blackout in Gaza. Following the extensive Israeli military operations, including airstrikes and ground incursions, aid organizations faced significant challenges. They reported a breakdown in phone and internet services, hampering their ability to maintain contact with their teams operating in the Gaza Strip. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Starlink, under the management of SpaceX, Elon Musk's company, was rapidly established within Ukraine. This communication network, essential for advanced military personnel operating in regions with impaired communication infrastructure, became an important asset for Kyiv in the field of battle.

Elon Musk has offered internet support to war-hit Gaza after an Israeli offensive led to the shutdown of all communications. The development came as Israel expanded its ground operation in the Hamas-led region with massive strikes from the air and sea. According to the update shared on X (nee Twitter), Starlink will help restore connectivity to the UN and other internationally recognised aid groups operating in the narrow strip.
