L’UE sta sviluppando la propria iniziativa Starlink denominata IRIS. I primi satelliti verranno lanciati in orbita il prossimo anno. Fornirà connettività autonoma per uso militare, governativo e commerciale europeo. Sostituirà l’attrezzatura di Musk, che è inaffidabile

Fucking excellent
Europe is slowly waking up, good news so far.
Excellent choice.
Would be good news but nowadays everyone wants it’s own Starlink, till the point that it would be better if none existed.
Why? Possibility of space junk to rapidly grow in quantity till the point where most of satellites are doomed.
Might as well just establish the federal european union at this point, if armies and businesses start to rely on something like this.
This project is getting posted each two days on this sub. What is the point?
I’ll withhold my judgment until it’s made more headway. They are going to launch 290 satellites so hopefully it works out.
I want my own new planet.
Also, the name Iris doesn’t worry me one bit.
I hope we can make this happen. However imo you can count on the US behind the curtains, do do all it can to stop us.
I applaud this decision 👏
EU needs to rid itself of it unreliable ally the US , become more independent by having its own EU level military. Once that is achieved we should see to come to an understanding with Russia on secruity on the continent we share and try to maintain good relations with India and China. The US can get fucked.
About bloody time. Unless we all want to be ruled by dictatorial US, China or Russia we need to start taking steps to remove their leverage over us.
Imagine that number of satellites in orbit once China and Russia, maybe India decide to build their starlinks too.
Finally! Now just repeat but faster in all the other areas where we cannot rely on a working partnership.
Some work for the new [Ariane 6](https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Transportation/Launch_vehicles/Ariane_6_overview) rocket, but probably a lot more expensive that using SpaceX’s re-usable launch vehicles that can put the same payload in orbit at half the cost.
Good good. Fuck Elon Russk
Finally 🙌🏽
Good now next step is ban X and forgot his name.
Yeah! Hell yeah! Fuck that guy already!
What reusable rockets are you going to use to get them up?
This is not a competitor to Starlink.
This is the equivalent to what the US government did by ordering a special constellation for their government/military use from Starlink.
Can anybody advise on European made wifi routers and network access points?
