Tech giant Google has announced that they have joined hands with the Elon Musk-run SpaceX to use the space company’s growth through satellite Internet service called ‘Starlink’ with its cloud unit.

Under this partnership, SpaceX will begin to discover the Starlink ground stations within the Google data center properties which enabling the secure, low-dormancy and reliable delivery of data from more than 1,500 Starlink satellites launched to orbit to date to locations at the network edge via Google Cloud.

Urs Holzle, Senior Vice President, Infrastructure at Google Cloud, said in a statement that, “Applications and services running in the cloud can be transformative for organizations, whether they are operating in a highly networked or remote environment.”

Urs Holzle also added, “We are delighted to partner with SpaceX to ensure that organizations with distributed footprints have seamless, secure, and fast access to the critical applications and services they need to keep their teams up and running.”

Starlink is a satellite network by SpaceX which uses thousands of small satellites disposed of in the low Earth orbit (LEO).

These satellites repeatedly communicate with designated ground transceivers to enable data transfers at high speed.

The main aim of Starlink is to qualify the internet coverage in the remote areas of Earth, where land-based Internet infrastructure cannot be built.

Starlink is available to a limited number of users per coverage area. Where All future orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis.
