Finally, a sign of life for Europe’s sovereign satellite Internet constellation European nations don't want to remain beholden to Starlink, OneWeb, or other networks. arstechnica.com/space/2024/10/…
Starlink, OneWeb, Amazon Kuiper, the Russian constellation being worked on and the Chinese constellation currently going up.
I know 290 is a drop in the ocean in comparison with the thousands Starlink alone has up there, but it is time there was worldwide regulation on the numbers of these communication satellites.
They're being launched without proper research into the harm they can do to our orbit (search: Kessler effect) or life on our planet (metals in our atmosphere).
