According to a CNN report on May 10, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a warning that the solar storm that occurred this week has begun to have an impact on the Earth's magnetic field on the same day and is expected to last until the 12th.
Clinton Wallace, the agency's director, said the geomagnetic storm would be an unusual and potentially historic event.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, geomagnetic storms can affect certain infrastructure in low-Earth orbit and on the Earth's surface, potentially disrupting communications, power grids, navigation, radio and satellite operations, and can trigger magnificent auroral phenomena.
For this solar storm, tech giant Musk also expressed concern on his social media platform X. He posted: "A strong geomagnetic solar storm is happening. The largest in a long time. Starlink satellites are under tremendous pressure, but so far they are holding out. "Starlink is a satellite internet service launched by SpaceX to provide high-speed, stable network connectivity around the world. Musk's words undoubtedly add a bit of footnote to the severity of this solar storm.
It is understood that geomagnetic storms mainly affect the orbit of aircraft and satellites, and most of them can be measured and controlled.
The geomagnetic storm had an impact on global satellite systems, including Musk's Starlink satellite system. In the mainland, the satellite Internet industry is also developing rapidly. With the progress of satellite Internet technology, more and more enterprises have invested in this field, promoting the rapid development of the satellite Internet industry.
From the perspective of the popular track of satellite Internet investment and financing in mainland China, from 2022 to 2023, the distribution of attention in the fields of satellite manufacturing, satellite launch and ground equipment will be relatively balanced. Specifically, the number of investment and financing events for ground equipment accounted for 36%, and the number of investment and financing events for satellite launch and satellite manufacturing accounted for 32%.
At present, the listed satellite Internet companies in mainland China are mainly located in Beijing, the central and western regions and South China. Among them, there are a large number of listed satellite Internet companies in Beijing, which are distributed in various links such as satellite manufacturing, ground equipment manufacturing, satellite operation and services.
In the future, satellite Internet will develop from high-throughput communication satellites to high-frequency bands, build an integrated network security guarantee for space, space and ground, and help the Internet of Everything achieve new applications with full coverage.
With the change of satellite development mode and launch mode, as well as the country's inclusion in the "new infrastructure" and other policy encouragement, the prospect of the mainland satellite Internet industry is very promising. Market capital has entered the satellite industry, lowering the threshold of the satellite market, and some private enterprises have begun to emerge. At present, representatives of state-owned enterprises include China Satellite Network Communications Group, Aerospace Science and Industry, Aerospace Science and Technology, etc.; The representatives of private enterprises include Galaxy Aerospace, Jiutian Satellite, Aerospace Hongtu, etc. A new era of satellite Internet has arrived, and the mainland is expected to gather strength and become an important player in the field of satellite Internet in the next decade.
