Jumping off Elon Musk's needle. How the world is challenging the Starlink monopoly and where does Ukraine fit into this race?
Jumping off Elon Musk's needle. How the world is challenging the Starlink monopoly and where does Ukraine fit into this race?
Low Earth orbit is experiencing an unprecedented boom: by the end of the decade, the number of satellites could reach 100,000. While the International Telecommunication Union tries to curb this chaos with strict quotas, a new hidden race is unfolding in space. China is building its own orbital empire, and Europe is investing billions in sovereign secure communication networks to break the Starlink monopoly. Against the backdrop of this orbital redistribution, Ukraine is quietly but confidently building its own "plan B." The government is gradually opening the space market on the NASA model, allowing private Ukrainian companies to create their own networks for reconnaissance and command of troops. How is the world preparing for life in an overpopulated orbit and what role will Ukrainian private space play in this new coordinate system?
