Hi fellow PM,
I now perceive it as the time to enhance Low Orbit Internet Satellites with the implementation of High Orbit Internet Satellites. The Internet is a cost-effective way of communication, and expanding the Internet Network with High Orbit Internet Satellite will enable us to conquer outer space, and further into the Universe and Galaxies, while making the hierarchical architecture of the Internet possible.
The High Orbit Internet Satellites will also enable Star Wars for civilian purposes and enhance communication systems capabilities for all humans. It is essential to build the infrastructure now using cost-effective technologies for the good of all humanity.
I would like to hear your opinion as Project Managers.
The question is whether there needs to be a new architecture for supporting multi-planetary level communications which is more scalable and resilient than IP which was designed for a different context?

Hi Kiron, good point. However, IPV6, I believe, can be adapted to this star-wars era Internet and be cost-effective, just like the Geographical Positioning System (GPS)..
The primary goal of IP addressing is to identify the sender and receiver to route traffic, but now we have VPN, which can conceal the sender and receiver identities behind IP addresses.
As for secure communication, it appears that quantum cryptography may offer secure encryption.

Thanks for sharing your vision, Jean. Expanding into High Orbit definitely opens new frontiers for global communication and future space infrastructure. It’s exciting to think how project management will need to evolve to support such ambitious, large-scale initiatives.

Yes, Zakaria, I believe we will need Portfolio management, comprised of Program management and Project management, for such a comprehensive project, just like for the development of the Internet.
We might even need Portfolios within other Portfolios, as it is a huge endeavour that will push technology to the next century, God willing.

And that is why the Geographical Positioning System is the right name instead of Global Positioning System. The Geographical Positioning System will be able to locate any object anywhere in the Universe.

High Earth Orbit (HEO) has up to a 5 second lag time for information transfer due to the distance and speed of light making it virtually useless for internet. It also cost up to 5X more to put the same payload into a much farther orbit than LEO due to the amount of energy required.

Hi Keith, thanks for your observations. I believe the hurdles you mentioned can be overcome through the design of the solutions, as I think many entities would implement such a technology beneficially. The cost factor, I believe, is similar to the design and implementation of Deepseek v/s other, much more expensive approaches to gen AI.
The goals are not to replace Low Orbit Internet Satellites, but rather to be used in conjunction with them. Also, as a backup and enhancement. Also, High Orbit Internet Satellites will have their own specialised use cases.

There are already technical solutions. They are extremely expensive. One is decreasing mass to require less fuel. That drives very expensive materials, design practices, and extremely tight margins. Another is very specialized hardware to withstand the much higher radiation farther from the Earth's magnetic field.
They do already have their special use cases, which are relatively few at the moment. From a PM standpoint, your approach of first deciding to build specific bleeding-edge technology and then figure out uses is the reverse of how systems engineering works. The required functions drive the design solutions including the derived requirement of what orbital altitude is best for the system. Deciding the "best" solution is a function of several factors, some driven by the laws of physics like orbital period and escape velocity. Other factors are the economics of design, test, launch, and operation of some of the most challenging design solutions in all of engineering.
