Write an analysis of a new technology (Satellite mega-constellations). Specifically, Satellites that can beam a broadband connection to internet terminals. As long as these terminals have a clear view of the sky, they can deliver internet to any nearby devices. These mega-constellations are feasible because we have learned how to build smaller satellites and launch them more cheaply. During the space shuttle era, launching a satellite into space cost roughly $24,800 per pound. A small communications satellite that weighed four tons cost nearly $200 million to fly up.
Illustrations, figures, and tables DO NOT count towards the page total. All externally sourced material must be appropriately referenced using footnotes.
Paper should include at least the following sections:
1. Introduction. Brief summary of the technology.
2. Description. Describe the organization and its innovative technology.
3. Adoption Lifecycle. Where would you forecast the technology currently is on the adoption lifecycle?
4. Competition. Are there competing products/organizations? How is this innovation different?
5. Obstacles to Success. What do you believe to be the next major obstacle(s) to overcome before the technology may gain adoption?
6. Forecast. Do you believe this technology will ultimately succeed? Why or why not?
