They manage to capture the theft of 60 Elon Musk satellites on their way into Earth orbit

It was in the night of May 23rd that Elon Musk managed to send space to the first floor of his satellites with which he intends to provide satellite internet access to the entire planet, particularly in places that are difficult to access or do not have the capacity to dispose of this service in the "traditional" way.

After this release, a photography enthusiast astronomer managed to capture the pbadage of the probes across the sky in a video that lasts a little over half a minute.

With the Dutch night in the background, the doctor Marco Langbroek posted a video on his blog that allowed to observe the transit of these satellites as they were heading to their final orbit at a distance of 330 to 550 meters from the Earth's surface, as part of the Starlink plan.

To do this, Langbroek calculated the pbadage location of the probes and installed an infrared camera equipped with a Canon FD 1.8 / 50 mm lens allowing it to perfectly record the pbadage of "lights" identifying the near all satellites sent by Elon Musk the week.

"It started with two weak, intermittent objects moving towards the field of view, then a few tens of seconds later, I was speechless when the" train "entered the field of vision," writes the scientist in the publication that accompanies it. video

These probes are part of a much larger project that involves positioning a network of 12,000 units around the Earth to generate a platform providing Internet access.

The project, called Starlink, is one of Elon Musk's ideas for funding his great idea of ​​sending colonies to Mars in the coming years. The first launch stage –these 60 satellites– was launched aboard a space rocket SpaceX, the Falcon 9, which managed to return to Earth without problems and to be reused in a mission to come.
