Amazon's satellite internet plan appears similar to what Elon Musk has had SpaceX working on.
Amazon's satellite internet plan is increasingly looking like the one Elon Musk has at SpaceX, with thousands of spacecraft that are compact in size. Among the reasons for the similarities, people tell CNBC, is that Jeff Bezos has hired some of Musk's previous senior management.
Badyal previously ran the"Starlink" division at SpaceX, which launched its first two test satellites last year. The SpaceX network would consist of a similar constellation of 4,425 satellites in low Earth orbit. Musk fired Badyal in June, one of the people said, confirming reports last year that the SpaceX CEO had become frustrated with the pace of Starlink's development. That was about four months after the launch of the first two Starlink test satellites. According to FCC documents, Starlink will become operational once at least 800 satellites are deployed.
SpaceX also submitted an application this year to operate 1 million"earth stations" in the U.S. These stations are"the ground based-component" of Starlink, essentially how people will be able to connect to SpaceX's high speed internet.
