ARLA/CLUSTER: Acessibilidade global à Internet pode ser feita através de nanosatellites

Outernet joins the space race for internet accessibility

The space race to launch satellites providing internet coverage to the
roughly 4 billion people living in unconnected or nominally connected
communities around the world is no longer just the purview of billionaire
moguls and the world’s biggest Internet companies.

*Outernet*, a small, independently-funded media company with a unique
vision for distributing Internet content like a radio broadcast, is
partnering with the UK Space Agency, and Scottish satellite equipment
manufacturer, Clyde Space, on a cost-sharing project for manufacturing
“cubesats.�

The information broadcaster Outernet will launch their three new
nanosatellites at the beginning of 2016, says Outernet’s chief operating
officer, Thane Richard. Through the arrangement, Outernet gets the
satellites, and the UK Space Agency and Clyde Space get an opportunity to
develop more cost-effective ways of building cubesats.
