OneWeb will resume satellite launches with SpaceX as the launch provider
I don't think this was an unexpected result of the situation with Russia, there wasn't really any other options, but interesting to see SpaceX launching a direct competitor to Starlink. I suppose they always made it clear that they were not going to let their investment in Starlink stop them launching competitors constellations.I am still somewhat surprised by the UK governments investment in OneWeb, I hope the strategy pays off and it becomes an important national infrastructure project. My thoughts where that it may be about providing a future proof network for the remote areas of the UK but we aren't exactly a big country so I'm not convinced that's the case. The rubbish that was written about it being a route to our own GPS system after Brexit forced us to leave the Galileo program was clearly all fluff to make it sound more impressive and tie it to a post Brexit strategy in some way.
