Starlink 的雷射傳輸細節
在「Starlink's laser system is beaming 42 petabytes of data per day (pcmag.com)」這邊看到 Starlink 的雷射資訊，原文是「Starlink's Laser System Is Beaming 42 Million GB of Data Per Day」。
主要是這兩張圖的資訊：
文字與圖片有很多不一致的地方，所以先抓個概念就好... 目前看起來是個「可商用」的階段了，而上面提到的 5400km 光是真空單向傳輸就要 18ms latency，如果擺到地球上的話，台灣到澳洲中間差不多？到關島、北海道或是新加坡都差不多在 3000km 左右。
想像中，海洋上面的 client 應該會透過這個方式 relay 到附近的陸地...

NASA 用雷射光傳送「蒙娜麗莎」圖片到月球上...
NASA 用雷射光將灰階「蒙娜麗莎」傳送到月球軌道上的 LOLA (Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter，看起來是台描繪地表用的儀器？)：「NASA Beams Mona Lisa to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at the Moon」。 傳輸速度是 300bits/sec (這數字讓人真感動 XD)，傳送 152x200 的 4096 灰階圖片。這次測試其中一個目的是了解地球大氣層對光訊號的影響，可以看到左邊的 raw data 與右邊靠 2/3 RS code 修正的結果： 不過好像沒提到用多大台的雷射打到月球上... (雷射砲？)

Starlink 的天線在五十度時會過熱停機
也是在 Hacker News 首頁上看到的資訊，Starlink 的天線在五十度時會停機：「Starlink dishes go into “thermal shutdown” once they hit 122° Fahrenheit」。 這篇報導是出自 Reddit 上的消息，苦主住在亞利桑那州，美國的南部地區，以緯度來說的話大概跟大阪差不多：「This could be a problem. Only noon in AZ...」。 Reddit 的討論裡面有提到用撒水的方式降溫，但這樣對熱帶與亞熱帶地區好像不太友善啊，陽光大一點應該就會過熱？看起來是個得改善的點了...
