Network in Space: In today’s era, mobile network has become an important part of our life. Whether it is to call, running the Internet or video streaming – every work is dependent on the mobile network. But have you ever thought that if a person goes to the earth, ie in space, does a mobile network work there too? Can anyone be called or messaged in space too? Knowing the answer to these questions is as interesting as shocking.

Does the mobile network work in space?

Generally, no, no, space does not contain a mobile network like earth. Space does not contain mobile towers, which can provide signals. The cell tower has a certain range to work as a mobile network, and these towers are limited to the surface of the earth only. As you go above the earth, the signal of the mobile network weakens and after a height of a few thousand kilometers, it ends completely.

International Space Station (ISS), which is about 400 km above the earth, does not reach the coverage of mobile network. The astronauts present there use a special satellite communication system, not of the general network to talk to the mobile.

Then how do astronauts contact?

When a person is in space, he is in touch with the earth through a special satellite network of NASA or other space agencies. These satellites have been specially designed for space missions and they communicate through radio frequency or other high-bandwidth technology.

In addition, organizations such as NASA use techniques like KU-band and S-band for video calling and data transfer. Astronauts can send emails, make video calls, but all this is based on the state -of -the -art space communication system, not a mobile network.

Will mobile network come in space in future?

Technology is developing so fast that now companies are working towards developing space-based mobile networks. Companies such as Elon Musk’s company Starlink, and Amazon’s Project Kuiper are creating a series of satellites in low-end orbit, which can facilitate internet and communication, in any corner of the world, even in any corner of the world, even in oceans and deserts. In future, it can also be possible that mobile network facility in space and astronauts can make direct calls from mobile.
