Russia's Starlink Rival Faces Early Setbacks
3 Jul
Summary
- Russia's attempt at a Starlink-like network has encountered difficulties.
- The launch of its initial 16 Rassvet satellites has begun poorly.
- This endeavor follows SpaceX's successful deployment of over 10,000 satellites.
Russia's initiative to develop a domestic satellite internet network, akin to Elon Musk's Starlink, has commenced with notable setbacks. The program's first deployment, involving 16 Rassvet satellites, has faced considerable difficulties shortly after its launch.
This challenging start contrasts with the sustained success of SpaceX's Starlink, which has already placed more than 10,000 satellites into low-Earth orbit since its inception approximately six years ago. The Russian effort, named Rassvet, appears to be struggling in its foundational stages.
