Someday hopefully if we have a human colony on mars, we could set up and internet cache system, data centre on earth sends (whatever data) to mars to be stored and accessed locally, depending on the population and interests, AI predictive models could pre spool up data. We cant change the speed of light, but we could be sending data packets in the mulit terabit or even petabyte range in the next few decades. having a data transmission that big could almost negate the latency time.
I can't even tell you how happy it makes me to see space and nasa represented outside of their specific channels.
One advantage you have in transmitting electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is that the speed of light c is a constant for all frequencies. That is not true in a material because the phase velocity in a dielectric material will differ with frequency. To send information you need a band of frequencies around the carrier and so in a material (i.e. circuit board) the different phase velocities of the different frequency components will cause dispersion and signal integrity issues.

Love that y'all are doing space videos!
I loved this video; so interesting. Riley, we need more of these!
How I imagine the Mars colony internet would work would be that the most popular content on Earth would be curated by an AI every day, then sent to Mars to be stored locally for the entertainment of the people living there. That way, you could still scroll on your phone during your break or downtime without having to wait for the system to ping Earth for it. If you do want anything else, you can still request it, but you'll have to put up with the delay. The system would also work the other way round.
It's been said, I'll say it again. This is sci-show levels of communication and subject matter. Well done. Lets have more of this please.
The ECC on that signal would be a fascinating topic

This shows how slow light actually is , in grand scheme of universe, light is too slow to be meaningful
the future of space internet is going to be a massive data server that sits in space that then communicates long distance over starlink-esque systems to other servers so you can do massive data dumps as it makes its way to the next server imo, since having a direct call every time for a specific piece of data is dumb you need to have mass storage instead basically cloning everything on earths internet and then dumping it again on server on mars and vis-versa allowing for what will look like near instant communication when in fact you will still be between 3-30 minutes of delay in actual data. additionally you will need to develop some sort of mini nuclear reactor to deal with the power issue. aside from this you will also need to develop some sort of live communications network between earth and mars that fixes the delay not sure what this will look like probably something with quantum computing and physics cause it probably isnt possible other wise.

Yeyy... we're doing space
The frequency does not limit the amount of data that can be sent over RF. The modulation and channel width are the factors there. A 20Mhz wide channel with 1024 QAM is the same regardless of frequency. The frequency changes the propagation characteristics of the wave, low frequency passes through matter better than high frequency up to a point, eventually the higher frequency can pass between atoms, but that's a whole different thing...
@shanent5793
Ай бұрын
A 20MHz wide channel will alias itself at frequencies below 10MHz making the signal unusable, so there is some dependence on frequency. Lower frequencies passing through matter also limits the signal to noise ratio, effectively reducing the throughput.

You can increase transfer speeds by also using a meshed network. If you had a base on Mars, you could split the packet into 3 (for instance), send it to a satellite each then to the base where it gets reconstructed.
Good to know interplanetary communications have a higher bandwidth than Windstream VDSL

Cool !

Using this network, the ping would be approximately 0.00333564604 milliseconds per kilometer. So ping to earth, when you would be on Mars (if the distance would be 225,000,000 kilometers), would amount to 750,000 milliseconds (750 seconds, so 12.5 minutes).
The video loaded like hell. The first 10 seconds it was all choppy and sounded like robot sex. I had to rewind it 😂😂😂😂😂
Even though it's a common misconception @ 1:41, throughput is actually a function of bandwidth, not frequency.
@shanent5793
Ай бұрын
If the center frequency is lower than half the bandwidth it will cause aliasing and degrade the signal. In practice it's easier to work with a signal where the bandwidth is only a small fraction of the frequency, so you can have a better signal to noise ratio and higher throughput for the same bandwidth at higher frequencies. Complex encodings needed at low frequencies also have higher latency which will increase the bandwidth-delay product, limiting throughput for protocols like TCP

@@shanent5793 Yes, that's for example the reason why shortwave radio was only used for voice communication, and not music: because listening to music in Shortwave sucks... that's like listening to an MP3 in 32 kbs. AM is the minimum of frequency you need for listenable sound quality. That's also the reason why when they started HD TV, they scrapped the lower FM TV frequencies in favor of higher bands: because lowband TV channels wouldn't be able to carry HD signals.
