Europe wants Musk’s satellites no more

Starlink satellites are hurdles to space to improve coverage of mobile phones around the world – Images by Starlink on X

Elon Musk and SpaceX confirmed the launch of the 21 Starlink satellite on Sunday, but at the same time the Wall Street Journal released a report that Europe wants a regional alternative to the “unreliable” space equipment of Tesla owners.

“21 Starlink satellite deployment confirmed” SpaceX I said in x. “We see the Falcon 9 fire 21 satellites from above into orbit from Florida. xPost.

Today’s batch of Starlink satellites was pushed into orbit from NASA’s space center in Florida on Saturday. SpaceX said 13 of them are directly equipped to cells. The company aims to eliminate cellular dead zones for mobile devices around the world.

“The Falcon 9 was lifted from Florida, adding 21 satellites to the constellations, completing the 400th mission with a booster whose flight was demonstrated about eight years after the first successful re-flight,” SpaceX said. xPost. Musk’s satellite company says Starlink currently has 7,146 satellites in orbit, providing internet to more than 100 countries.

The Starlink satellite will last about five years, and SpaceX will eventually launch around 42,000 satellites in this so-called megaconstellation.

Not everyone loves mask satellites

Recently, I posted the mask on X. If he turns off satellite internet services in Ukraine, “the whole frontline will collapse.”

That wouldn’t have made Eva Berneque happy. She is the CEO of Eutelsat, a rival to smaller European Starlinks.

For her, Musk’s words could not have been any more “very positive”, especially when Europe was aiming to reduce its dependence on Musk and his unreliable satellites.

According to the Wall Street Journal ReportEuropean authorities hope that Eutelsat, currently based in a non-explanatory office district on the outskirts of Paris, will provide backup to Ukraine’s Starlink as soon as possible through satellite internet service OneWeb.

“In the long term, they are relying on Eutelsat to help build space communications networks that make the continent more autonomous,” said the influential Financial Journal.

“If SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider, we will be forced to look for other suppliers,” said Poland Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski I wrote it At X in early March, he responded to Mask’s claim that Ukraine would collapse without him.

“Ukrainian Starlink is paid by Poland’s Ministry of Digitalization at a cost of around $50 million a year,” Sikorsky added. I responded“Quiet, little guy. You pay a portion of the cost, and there’s no substitute for Starlink.”

The reaction shocked European officials, and Berneke was called out quickly and asked how quickly they could replace Ukrainian Starlink.

But the truth is, the idea now seems a little far away, as Berneque’s Eutersat will need billions of dollars to compete with Starlink from her three key stakeholders, the French and British governments, and Indian billionaire Sunil Balti Mittal.

Musk’s SpaceX is under scrutiny

Three US military units are investigating Musk and SpaceX, which allegedly failed to disclose meetings with foreign leaders. This review highlights concerns about mask security protocols, which are essential to SpaceX’s role in US military operations.

The review was launched by the Department of Defense Inspector’s Office, the US Air Force, and the Secretary of Defense Office for Intelligence, the Pentagon’s Intelligence Affairs Office.

In March, the US Court of Appeals declined on Wednesday a bid by Elon Musk by SpaceX to track the National Labor Relations Commission tracks rocket makers pursuing allegations that they illegally fired an engineer critical of Musk. He is also accused of sexist discrimination against women.

Whether or not SpaceX can be replaced remains unseen, even though many believe it is on the road to breakdown. American Weekly Barron’s, published by Dow Jones & Company, recently announced that “Failure is the only option for SpaceX.”
