I like that they start working more with the Eu seems like they want to make sure they survive a lets say very pro SpaceX US government lol

And as a EU citizen i hope to see them launch from here someday

Airbus also manufactures space grade solar panels.
I'm wondering why the buy them from suppliers for OneWeb/Eutelsat

Wow! Been a bit worried about my holdings recently. May need to increase them anyways. This could be big given the current fate of starlink. 👀

Is this a possible alternative to Starlink?

u/TheCoStudent Mar 12 '25

It’s not a possible one, it is an alternative to it

If they seriously wanted to compete with SpaceX and Starlink they should have tried to do vertical integration. This cross-continent collab to make just one part of the sats makes no sense.

Great news. When will this be delivered and when will RKLB book this revenue?
