Rivalul rus al Starlink pierde primul satelit operațional din constelația „Rassvet”

Russian company Bureau 1440 has lost one of its 16 satellites launched for the 'Rassvet' internet constellation, confirming 15 remain operational. The 'Rassvet' project aims to establish a low Earth orbit communication network for high-speed internet in Russia, seen as a response to SpaceX's Starlink. Plans include expanding the constellation to 383 satellites by 2030, funded by state and private contributions under the 'Data Economy' program. The loss of the satellite highlights the growing competition in satellite communications, particularly in the context of the Ukraine war.
