发帖数: 29576 | 1 Google Nears Major Investment in SpaceX to Bolster Satellites
Google is close to investing in rocket maker SpaceX, according to several
people familiar with the talks, creating a formidable alliance in Silicon
Valley’s accelerating Internet space race.
The purpose of a deal, which is still in the works, is to support the
development of SpaceX satellites that could beam low-cost Internet around
the globe to billions who don’t have it.
The price and terms Google and SpaceX are discussing couldn’t be learned
although one person familiar with them said Google has agreed to value
SpaceX north of $10 billion and that the size of the total round, which
includes other investors, is very large.
SpaceX’s investors include Founders Fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Valor
Equity Partners. The company, which has been developing rockets to lower
the cost of space travel, hasn’t raised a primary round of funding in
several years. |

发帖数: 29576 | 12 Google Inc. is close to investing roughly $1 billion in Space Exploration
Technologies Corp. to support its nascent efforts to deliver Internet access
via satellites, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The investment would value SpaceX, backed by Tesla Motors Inc. TSLA, -1.90%
Chief Executive Elon Musk, at more than $10 billion according to this
person. It isn’t clear what exact stake Google GOOG, +0.53% GOOGL, +0.59%
could end up with in the fast-growing space company.
If Google completes the deal, it would be the Internet company’s latest
effort to use futuristic technology to spread Internet access to remote
regions of the world, alongside high-altitude balloons and solar-powered
drones. By extending Web access, Google increases the number of people who
can use its services.
Spokesmen for Google and SpaceX declined to comment.
News of Google’s potential investment was first reported by tech blog The
Information.
Google has been considering satellite-based Internet service for more than a
year. In late 2013, it hired satellite-industry veteran Greg Wyler, who at
one point last year had more than 10 people working for him. Wyler left
Google last summer and is now developing his own satellite-Internet venture.
SpaceX builds and launches rockets and spacecraft. Musk last week described
a general concept for SpaceX to launch hundreds of satellites into
relatively low orbit to deliver Internet access across the globe. Musk told
BusinessWeek the project could cost $10 billion to build and take at least
five years, but gave no details about funding or manufacturing plans. |

他说至少部署700多个，falcon heavy载重就50多顿，要每个卫星有自我定轨能力一发
上百个就搞定了。
