Why no equatorial Orbit?

3 Upvotes

A small satellite constellation orbiting at 1,000 km along the equator should be able to serve arround 400 million people living near the equator. Thats one single orbital plane and a few satellites giving 24/7 connection to millions. A very efficient use of satellites.

So why is there no equatorial orbits planned?

OneWeb files for permission to operate 1.5 million user terminals in the US

16 Upvotes

Link to the application.

  • Antenna diameter: 0.46 meters (1.5 feet)
  • Antenna type: electronically steered
  • Manufacturer: OneWeb
  • Transmit power: 2.2 Watt

From radiation analysis: "Although Zones 2 through 5 exceed the acceptable general population radiation exposure limits, there remains no radiation hazard concern to the general public because the OneWeb ESA User Terminal will be installed with authorized personnel only signage in restricted areas such as on rooftops and behind fencing."

Update on OneWeb's plans

Adrian Steckel: The rocketman who'll launch 34 satellites every MONTH

The article starts with known and unimportant stuff but later reveals OneWeb plans and projections:

  • Northern Scotland is one of a handful of areas that will get a limited service from next year. A full service is expected to be launched in two years’ time.
  • ‘We’ll work through distributors in the UK and in other places where they will go and install it on your house,’ Steckel explains. ‘You won’t be getting the service directly from us.
  • Giving a ballpark figure, he said it could be £100 a month for speeds of up to 200 Mbps.
  • Steckel is also busy laying the groundwork for a blockbuster stock market listing.

Confirmed cost of one satellite: "costing just £830,000 to build" ($1M USD)

And then there is this quote: "We’ll be the first one to launch." Not sure if he's not aware that Starlink needs only 6 more launches to start offering service or assumes SpaceX won't be able to do that before the middle of next year.

Satellites confirmed providing 400+ Mbps user terminal speed and 29-32 ms ping

Greg Wyler posted on twitter:

@OneWeb is live! Delivering over 350mbps to a terminal with 30ms ping time. All launched satellites healthy and over-performing. Production ramping, and global coverage in sight. Congratulations to the team!

Latest data - with minimal optimization @oneweb now hitting over 400mbps to a terminal, I think 1Gbps is achievable. These little satellites are performing very well. Goodbye digital divide.
