Brief Details
In Space-Based Hosting Service (SBHS) approach, web content server is placed on an orbital platform. Information hubs such as Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica data servers can be placed in Onboard Unit (OBU) hosted on the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) Upper Stage Engines (PS4). The web content placed in the orbit can be directly accessed from the ground using an ultra-low-cost end-user device. Our primary objective is to propose a satellite-based web hosting model which provides low latency to access web services to rural end-users
