Preparations are under way for a rocket test flight in Norway that could make history and give Europe greater independence from the market leader in orbital launches, the United States.
Isar Aerospace says it is planning to launch on 24 March between 12.30pm and 3.30pm CET, weather permitting.
satellite internet is already a thing and there are already thousands satellites in space
None of them European.
Eutelsat?
I stand corrected.
There’s no need for every country in the world to have their own starlink
Yes, but it sure helps when your internet connection can’t be turned off by foreign powers on a whim.
So does every country need a satellite army in case someone decide to attack their starlink?
@index @NoneOfUrBusiness and that’s why it‘s important for countries to have a modern fixed connection like fiber. Not completely save at all but way more secure in every way than a satellite connection…
Unless there’s some kind of treaty preventing satellite warfare and that treaty is respected, the answer will be yes.
