European Starlink competitor Eutelsat to launch more sattelites (reuters.com) 12 points by Flundstrom2 8mo ago ↗ HN
[–] para_parolu 8mo ago ↗ > Eutelsat, which acquired OneWeb in 2023, plans to launch 440 Airbus-built LEO satellitesFor comparison: spacex deployed ~2800 last year. [–] Flundstrom2 7mo ago ↗ Starliks have a smaller field of view because they operate at a much lower altitude, so they need to be in a much larger volume (10x) than those from Eutelsat.
