Marslink Proposed By SpaceX
SpaceX has described a version of its Starlink satellite network for use on Mars, presumably by colonists. This network could serve Mars missions, allowing real-time images and data streams from Mars to Earth.
As you can see, I reference the interplanetary radiograph station from George O. Smith's 1942 story QRM: Interplanetary. Smith was an American electronics engineer and noted science fiction writer.
Writing in 1976, Arthur C. Clarke said that George O. Smith was "probably the first writer - certainly the first technically qualified writer - to spell out the uses of space stations for space communications. George Smith, I'm sure, correctly anticipates the future."
