Because the power never came back on. The Health Officials say the childs death had nothing to do with paul codes or hospital equipment, not functioning. But the tragedy has, again showing how routing Power Outages are frustrating. Many the government has more than a 1000000000. 00 to independent deposit which uses its a lot of money in a country. Suffering is, was economic crisis. Can a generation to have a situation where to be we have power deficit to extend a lot of money as i dont get impala is definitely not because we dont know how to do it in class. But what we do not have is that we do not have money to really finance the appraisers of these utilities. Politicians hope a recent 3000000000 dollars i am a spell out will help solve some of the countries economic problems. But other challenges, including unpaid utility bills, age infrastructure and corruption, me electricity problems may not be resolved quickly. While this is wait until the problem is colleagues and then to try to fix it in a crisis mode. So what we have cnn chiron is a deficit in generation and deficit occasion by not related to procure fuel for the available offline. The general election in december gone as image of crisis will be a priority for voters already struggling with the high cost of living. Inflation and tax increases hardaman tossing out of there. And you can follow that to all the stories were covering by looking onto a website that ill just say that dont come across the top story that we continue to focus on the will on concept youd be watching. Ill just bear with me. So robin glisper on them, well have more news after the break. Next its people have to stay with us the every year, thousands of one piece they use to sign into that percent activate in conservation and say the testing seems to me the 1. 00 oh 1. 00 east investigate. Assuming the legal trade and the scientists hoping to get one king some likes be on this on a tree cart, team of mine for business on l. G 0. The says 2019 the number of such a sacramento as more than doubled the results of the new space, right . Private companies and governments are competing to see you can gain the upper hand in the lucrative orbital space. While this talk to lights up to come on in federal plots of everyday life on the planet, directed launch of thousands of new ones is deepening concerns about how to be used and the potential dangers of a crowd. Of people in power, investigate the the habits above and once again captured the mines and imaginations of those living below. The space industry is in a space renaissance on, like weve not seen, even during the apollo program. This renaissance is not just a competition between superpowers, but a race between billionaires and private companies is maybe the greatest opportunity in technology and communication. But there are plenty of risk involved in that as well. And this risk and reward is changing everything from the way the world connects, the way it wages war. The warning ukraine is really underlined that you know, the world space has changed and then real commercial space has changed. We sent out to investigate the vast cultural, political, and policy implications of this renaissance, exploring how the shifting space from public to private, changing nearly every aspect of life on earth, transforming the night sky. The at the smoky check observatory, unless this colorado, the alteration is already on display with the help of telescopes and amateur astronomers, steve mcallister. This star gazing outpost offers clear sight minds to the night. Time was the constellations. The big dipper is actually the big beer, which is ursamajor. Heres the back leg. So its a night sky. Mcallister know so well is changing because he lost satellites tonight. Maybe a satellite triangle come over. They do that fairly often. Moving across the sky like flicks of sand. They are nearly 10000 satellites circling the earth, double the number since 2019. Yeah, its a little bit annoying for someone that i grew up with. Very few satellites and being able look up in the sky and rarely seen one. And now their zip in across all the time. For astronomers, these bits of light arent and welcome distraction, but like it or not, theyre not going anywhere in these orbiting specs markers of an entirely new era in space. 32. But none of this happens without the arrival of space ex. Private Space Company owned by billionaire evil and must win space ex last is falcon 9 spacecraft in 2015. It became the 1st private reusable rocket to successfully go to space deploy satellites and come back this break through dramatically. Cut the costs to carry and deliver satellites into orbit space. X was a catalyst and built into the whole industry. They did the audacious thing of actually saying we can lower the cost of, of launch met dash is the ceo of a radium founded during the reagan administration. The virginia based company is one of the oldest private satellite operators in the world. And they are currently the only company with a network of satellites that span the entire globe. Last year, they completed an upgrade of their entire system. All 81 satellites carried into space. By musk spoken 9 rockets. They offered for less than 500000000 to launch all my satellites. The next best bit i had was like 1300000000. This Cost Reduction has opened the space market for years for reading and had few competitors. But now the field is growing. Amazon, all of this launching their kiper network. One web is up there. Many others. Theres some, theres some networks that are being proposed right now with a 100000. 00 satellites. People were alarmed when iridium launched in late nineties, 66 satellites, and space, my god that so many. I mean today, star link already has 4000 in space and they plan on many, many thousands more. This massive expansion part of a broad effort to collect lease purcell nearly every aspect of the 21st Century Digital world. By connecting the nearly 3000000000 global citizens currently without access to Broadband Internet. The whole tribe Olympic Peninsula of washington. More than 3 hours away from seattle is one of the 1st pilot projects for starling. Its enabled them to engage in education. Its a name of them to engage in intel, a health mark. The scone is the director of the Washington State broadband office. Were trying to fill in all of these white spaces and lighter colored spaces, facilities offices charged with expanding Broadband Internet access to the most rural households that remain unconnected. A task that will take years of interest Structure Development from the standpoint of speed to deployment. Satellite service can clearly fill in a gap. The people that i know who utilize starlight have found it to be life changing, its enabled them to conduct businesses that they otherwise wouldnt be able to pull satellites or transforming little america. Theyre also transforming the battlefield in the days leading up to the complex, we are showing some images of the convoy that we were able to capture basically all your military vehicles. Tony frasier is the executive Vice President of macs, our, which provides satellite imagery to the Us Defense Department and commercial clients. In february, 2022, the companies for satellites providing a real time portrait of russias military Assembly Around ukraine. They would document early evidence of russian attacks on civilians. We began to capture and chair, evidence of artillery being fired indiscreetly to civilian locations. And here is an image over dyed airport and hostile ukraine. The surveillance capability was not lost on the russians when they 1st, and theyre saying they also did a cyber attack against bias at ground terminals because they wanted the disruption key training in communications. Victoria samsung is the Washington Office director of the secure world foundation, a private organization that works to promote space sustainability and peaceful uses about our space. They also disrupt a lot of communications of a good chunk of europe. I took out tens of thousands of terminals, rushes vice that attacked me clear that the rules of engagement had changed. More now included private space companies. Most notably view on marks space, x in sterling just 2 days into the russian attack, ukraines minister of Digital Transformation made a 140 character plea to e. One must writing. While your rockets successfully land from space, russian rockets attack ukrainian civilian people. We ask you to provide ukraine with starling stations that same day. Musk responded, startling service is now active in ukraine. More than 42000 sterling terminals are now being used in ukraine for everything from communication for artillery teams to internet for hospitals. But there are concerns about sterlings outside impact on the war. Most notably that a private company, controlled by the worlds wealthiest person, holds so much power. The connection to sterling to wage war has been limited in ukraine. The Company Publicly stated that it took steps to prevent sterling from being used for long range drones. Drugs and Ukrainian Forces have reported some loss of Sterling Service during counter offensive into russian hill territory. This happening around the time space x was complaining about the estimated 400000000. 00 a year. It cost to maintain the service and threatening to cut it off. If the pentagon didnt pick up the tab, theres also been room for you with the mosque prevented his startling service from being used for a critical Ukrainian Drone attack on russias black, safely claim. Most recently confirmed us was kind of the successful on the rise of big successful. So we really do to really proactively take part in a major export in june depending on announced a deal with space ext underwrite Sterling Service to ukraine. The concerns remain. So countries like canada, like russia, they say, well, perhaps a company like star link, its more of a Us Government entities in a commercial entity. In fact, the satellite space race is potentially giving private companies an unprecedented ability to shape military conflict in geo politics. We wanted to speak with masking space about that, but they did not respond to our request for an interview with a, a. Theres intertwining of commercial space of National Security space just shows how much were interwoven with each other and much as we may try and say, well this is not my issue. Is it not something thats relevant to me . It definitely effects all satellites are also playing in a trickery role in the ways in which those outside of the work zone are monitoring and documenting military actions. It violates International Law. The joe, because we go, we travel the ukraine every day and, and we, we do so and lower, so or orbit. Nathaniel raymond leads deal universitys humanitarian research lab from sudan to ukraine and russia. Ramons team use a satellite imagery to monitor active conflicts. Documenting as troops or militias, burn villages, bomb hospitals, and display civilians. We are basically a digital version of the crime scene investigators, but were not doing it on the ground of plastic bags. Were doing it from space. In february, the team exposed and alleged russian operation illegally relocating and resettling thousands of ukrainian children. Prussian officials were taking selfies in front of the buses with the kids and as they were going to the camps. And so from that, we were able to get many data about the gps location of those buses. So we started to use satellites at that point to identify and confirm precise gps locations of the re education camps, where many of the kids were being held and other facilities, including Psychiatric Hospital and what, whats called family centers. One months later, the International Criminal court issued a warrant for the rest of the latter being put in. It accused the russian president and his subordinates of unlawfully deporting and transferring children actions. The court says constitute a war crime. It is for bitten by International Law for up to 5 powers to task for civility. Assumed tentatively, they lead in 2 other territories. Russia rejects the allegations, especially privately on satellites, and including some launched and recent years have helped gather evidence to back up these claims. This the satellites combined with cloud computing, combined with advancements and Artificial Intelligence analytics in the past we, we were playing one instrument in the orchestra like the cello now were playing the orchestra. This all goes back to the 1st beats from the russian spot like satellite in 1957, but became more sophisticated in the early sixtys during the 1st space race. Speaking personal satisfaction to participate. On august 12th 1960 president dwight eisenhower, his words were transmitted from california and reflected off a mass of balloon called echo one to a laboratory station in hollandale, new jersey. Taking off the Satellite Communications era. This experiment and communication judge by contemporary standards. The early days of satellite imagery was an even cruder exercise. Before we had Digital Radio download, they literally had a canister film that had to be shot out of the satellite in, caught by a plane at high altitude. And it would come with a scoop net and they had to catch it. And then that in the 19 sixtys, the us air force operated a spice Satellite Program known as corona using a panoramic camera. The satellite took the 1st detailed photographs from space. I was completely analog, did catherine images in film dropped those canisters and then it would take weeks to process the data to be able to provide insight now or in a moment where we, we are downloading terabytes beyond all of the imagery that was collected in that era every day were now at daily refresh, where the surface of the earth can technically be painted every day of these paintings largely from private satellites have not only opened our understanding of the earth, but introduced an array of ethical questions. You can type the make and model of a car very easily on very High Resolution imagery. What if were talking about Domestic Abuse or those wind to see if his or her former partner has a new romantic interest . You can now track that car. Open data may be great if youre sitting in downtown San Francisco and a blue bottle of coffee shop, but for the most Vulnerable People on the planet open data is a potential nightmare scenario in the sense that data is power. Data is people this daily which of open data is primarily the results of the increasing frequency and declining costs of a launch. Pioneered by space ex. Today, there was intense competition to drive down the costs even further. In the desert of new mexico spin launch, a California Based Company is working on a way to take rockets out of the launch process altogether that weve been relying upon rockets as the only means of transporting payloads into earth orbit for the last 70 years. And rockets are very complicated, they are very expensive and theyre very inefficient. C, e o, Jonathan Gainey and his company have assembled what they call a sub orbital accelerator. And electrically powered kinetic launch system that spins a rocket like projectile at high velocity inside of the vacuum chamber to launch by greatly reducing the need for rocket fuel and allowing for bigger payloads. Want to each launch for a few 100000. 00. So were talking orders of magnitude lower costs than any other launch system out there. Danny says they are currently looking for a location to host their much larger and commercially ready orbital accelerator which will be capable of reaching space. We can launch and you know, as little as a few days of notice what you have as a customer is a much more turnkey solution. You couple that with the low cost small satellites that the industry is now producing. What you have is really an overall of access to space. You know, these companies now, instead of taking a decade in billions of dollars to deploy large scale satellite constellations in low earth orbit, can now do so. You know, for single digit millions. But this drive to make access to space even more affordable is paving the way for a new Telecommunications Land rush that points to the potential for catastrophic collisions and space. In 2009, a defunct russian satellite collided within a reading and satellite, just as they were crossing over northern siberia. I got a call from my chief satellite officer at the time and he said, i have bad news and worse news, which do you want 1st. And i said, whats the bad news . And he said, we lost track of our satellite se 33. 00 somewhere over siberia. I said, whats the worst magazine said it could have ran into something else. And i said, okay, im not, im not experienced with this. How often does that happen . He said its never happened in the history of space flight since, but next it, any 2 things in space inadvertently ran into each other. The collision destroyed both satellites, scattering 1800. 00 pieces of debris into low earth orbit. That really did change the industry at the time because it was sort of a shock that, that this sort of thing could happen in that space wasnt so big that 2 things could inadvertently run into each other. And the reasons why they did it was because we couldnt, we could have easily moved the satellite, but we didnt have good information to move it before that after the collision, industry and government officials began to track and share information about the orbital path of satellites. Then in 2020, the newly formed Us Space Force began operating the space fence surveillance system, a 1500000000. 00 radar system capable of tracking objects in space as small as a marble, even with the vastness of space without some sort of organization were going to see more more issues. Melanie strickland, a former air force officer, is a co founder of slingshot aerospace, a Texas Based Company that provides navigational support for the public and private space industry. Slingshot uses information from commercial satellites in their slingshot beacon surface, which acts as an air Traffic Control for space. Helping to avoid collisions with another satellite or large piece of space. Debris are very busy, very, very busy. Weve got 93 percent of satellites and lower for, but leveraging slingshot beacon today to day conflicts, their space Flight Operations and ensure that they dont have any critical conjunctions. But slingshot is not working with the complete data set. The world satellite operators from the us to china is currently not operating under cooperative and standardized space Traffic Management system. Today, national and regional entities want into space activities with different sets of standards, best practices, definitions, languages, and modes of inter operability. For the past 5 years, the secure world condition has gathered leaders from the private space sector and the worlds governments in an attempt to foster coordination. Last year they met new york, the under secretary general for policy at the united nations. Guy ryder gave the opening keynote address if we cannot agree on how to coordinate space Traffic Management, we risk post to safety and the sustainability of space through accidents that will lead to the destruction of whole bits and worryingly. The breach of peace and security. In outer space among last years attendees, richard del bell. Im the director of the us office of space commerce, the Agency Responsible for commercial space policy in the united states. Its very difficult to compare to separately, completely separately derived solutions. So you get into a, what is truth problem . As weve recently had examples for a very concrete example with china, where china had alleged that certain us satellite operators were flying too close to their space station. Our data indicated that it was not true. And so without worrying about who is right or who is wrong, this is the kind of confusion that im, that im talking about where 2 operators, maybe both with the very best of intentions. Come to a disagreement because they dont understand how theyre each of their systems works. It last year, some new york, a main point of discussion was the need for a more to rims on the testing of anti satellite missiles are so called a set tests in 2021 rush, it became the latest country to test the anti satellite weapons firing a missile into a long, defunct sleet era satellite, sending more than 1500 new pieces of debris into orbit. Well, 1st of all, to make knowledge of the us has done a set of tests in the past, decided that this is not an advisable course. Because the russians did one very recently, the chinese and the indians also did a set test, whatever the port politics are between countries. This is just potentially destroying an environment for a test. I know to vote in december of last year, 155 nations voted in favor of a Un Resolution encouraging nations not to conduct an anti satellite test. 9 opposed the measure including russia. China has been the abstain, but even with an agreed upon moratorium on anti satellite testing, a mess may be coming by way of what is known as the kessler, centrum the counselor syndrome is like what you saw in the movie gravity. Its a debris on debris event. Its catastrophic and object causes debris that debris splatters and space heading other objects, causing more and debris and more debris to get a waterfall. Depending on the altitude those debris could stay up there for hundreds of years or tens of years. And this would not only increase the possibility of collisions, but could prevent human access to space entirely. In the early days, we had a cold war mentality with very limited objects and space. But now were to uh, fundamentally different came with dental trogie is the chief scientist to comstock a company that predicts the paths of optics. An orbit. Comstock has created a number of models of what the earth orbit will look like. As the satellite population continues to grow. Those videos give you an appreciation for just how many objects could be launched and active in space. And the problem with these fragmentation advances. It continues to introduce more and more of these fragments that we now have to track. And if you think of sort of running to your car and its just barely sprinkling, you can kind of run almost between the drops. If you go really fast, if its raining a lot, you cant, youre just gonna get hit by something. Melanie strickland says this scenario can be avoided, but only if efforts are made to organize space traffic instead of tipping point. And we have a small window of opportunity to curtail um, you know, a catastrophic debris on debris event. Most human beings on the surface are enabled by the sunlight capabilities. Well, theres the blue dot on your phone, the Navigation Systems that you use. Transportation, global transportation, whether Disaster Response and so a day without space because traffic to the human race, wed see ourselves go back in time to the fiftys or before as with finding consensus in space will require a dramatic shifting consensus on the ground. It will also require getting a handle on the new power of private satellite operators and how to regulate them. Historically space was dominated by nation states. And if i had a concern about other activities and space, you would take it to the united nations. But now, you know, one of the biggest actors in space is not a national government. Its a commercial after. And so if you have concerns about what space x is doing and you take it to the Us Government, you take it to the united nation. Where do you take the sort of concerns and how do you discussing sort of things . The implications of the new satellite space race are far reaching, not only in space on, but here on the ground. For naked eye, were supposed to be able to see about a 1000 stars. So now if you add another, lets just say 60000. 00 satellites. So suddenly youth increased star count 60 full, right . So 6000 is going 260000 is gonna be a different sky. The the latest news, as it breaks around, han has given a cause. Thats great, but it does come all good. But those guys are not as popular to the board with detailed coverage, but the reason prices and the realization that things are likely to get much worse before they get better describing some residents to the brain from around the world. People have told us the circumstances, it even more important than usual to come together to share what they feel they have now is the time to be direct. Israels project has been completely conflict zionism and judy as a. But this was not a jew, israels, of state, and they need to be treated as any other state. What. This is where the tough questions are asked. Can you see negotiations being even hacked . This is most important, which of these are going to negotiate, poll unapologetic, im just asking awesome upfront on out. As the sun sits, individuals within the occupied westbank. The bit of one of the family is getting the dinner table ready to break their dainty fast. But the buzz around the table is missing, the woman who used to put it all together ended. But lucy was the rest of the week before the start of his review. Officials have not given their reason yet for detaining her during 8 of the home.
