The CTC-1 satellite constellation will test the capability that makes global decentralized coverage possible: inter-satellite links (ISL). One ground station could cover an entire region because satellites pass data along the chain, like repeaters in a radio network. Adam Wexler on how ISL works 🛰️

🇨🇳 CHINA PLANS TO TAKE ON STARLINK BY LAUNCHING 200,000 SATELLITES Beijing has filed paperwork to launch a massive satellite constellation to rival Starlink. The state-backed China Satellite Network Group submitted its bid to the UN’s ITU, aiming to lock down radio frequencies for a global broadband network. The goal? A “secure, controllable, and efficient” satellite system - one that doesn’t rely on the West. Nothing says "global internet freedom" like 200,000 government-controlled satellites and a firewall in space. Source: SCMP

Elon Musk on building data centers in Space: "We don't think this is a particularly difficult thing to do. In fact, we think it's easier than our communication satellites. The Starlink V3 communication satellite is an incredibly complex machine. The AI data center would be much simpler by comparison, because it's really just solar power plus radiator basic equipment for operating satellite, and then the laser links, which would connect to the Starlink communications constellation and then back to the ground the connection would happen no matter what the weather is because once you connect to the Starlink communication constellation the Starlink communicates the ground with frequencies that are cloud penetrating, so that in fact even roof penetrating some degree, so you would always be able to close link with the data centers."

🇵🇰🚀 Pakistan Completes EO-3 Launch, Accelerating Its Satellite Constellation Drive Pakistan has successfully placed its PRSC EO-3 Earth Observation Satellite into orbit, marking a significant step in the country’s expanding space programme. The satellite, developed domestically by SUPARCO, was launched from China’s Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, underscoring a model of local manufacturing supported by external launch capability. EO-3 completes a three satellite Earth Observation series: ◽EO-1 (2025) ◽EO-2 (February 2026) ◽EO-3 (latest launch) Together, they form the backbone of a planned integrated Earth Observation system aimed at improving data availability and coverage. Pakistan now operates 5+ Earth observation satellites, with most deployed in the last two years, highlighting a noticeable acceleration in activity. Officials describe the programme as part of a broader shift: 📡 From isolated missions → to a coordinated satellite network From external reliance → to increasing data independence 🚀 From slow launches → to a structured rollout strategy The EO-3 mission also reflects continued technical cooperation with China, particularly in launch services. With additional satellites expected in the coming years, Pakistan appears to be moving toward a multi satellite constellation designed for regular, wide area monitoring. The direction is clear: a steady build up rather than a one off achievement.

What if Elon Musk is actually underselling what SpaceX could become? Today, Starlink is known for satellite internet. But some believe it could eventually become a global communications network where your phone connects directly to satellites almost anywhere on Earth. Larry Goldberg says the bigger story is how Starlink, Starship, AI, robotics, and orbital data centers could all work together in the future. Most people see a rocket company. Others see the early foundation of an entirely new space-based economy. It sounds crazy... until you remember that reusable rockets and global satellite internet once sounded crazy too! $SPCX

NEWS: Each new Starlink V3 satellite carries six space lasers moving 400 gigabits each The lasers connect the satellites to each other, forming a mesh in orbit that can route your data between almost any two points on Earth without touching the ground. Together they add up to a petabit-scale network, and the paths are redundant. If one link is busy or blocked, traffic reroutes through another satellite. This is why Starlink can work in the middle of an ocean or a desert. Data hops satellite to satellite by laser, then drops down only where it needs to. It is the same laser tech NASA just chose to beam 4K video from its Orion Moon spacecraft. (Source: Starlink, July 17)

🛰️Satellite modem demo on Flipper One — an emergency pager Experimenting with satellite connectivity on Flipper One. The video shows an emergency SOS pager that sends your geolocation so you can be evacuated from a zombie apocalypse when there is no mobile coverage. NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) is a 3GPP standard in the LTE/5G family. It uses a regular SIM card and is supported by many modern smartphones and smartwatches. NTN is extremely slow and is billed per byte (!), but this is okay when you need to send tiny amounts of data: telemetry or short messages like “I’m alive, heart rate 80 bpm.” In this demo, we use a Blues Blues NOTE-NGBLWX module that connects to a geostationary satellite on the Skylo Skylo network and transmits data to a Blues NoteHub server. We’re planning to develop a Flipper One IoT module that can serve as a backup communication channel for outdoor use or as an emergency gateway for alarm and monitoring IoT systems.

🚨🇷🇺 NATO'S NIGHTMARE: RUSSIA’S OWN STARLINK OPENS DAILY COMMUNICATION WINDOWS OVER UKRAINE Russia’s Rassvet low-orbit satellite network is now believed to provide around two hours of usable broadband coverage over Ukraine each day. The connection is not yet continuous, but Russia is building a sovereign communications channel that no foreign company can switch off. 🔸 Russian company Bureau 1440 launched the first 16 satellites of the operational constellation on March 23. The spacecraft were placed on an initial orbit before beginning their movement toward working altitude. 🔸 A second package was launched on July 19. Bureau 1440 did not publicly disclose its size, but orbital tracking identified another 16 satellites, bringing the likely total from the two 2026 launches to 32. 🔸 The current network is believed to offer around two hours of strong coverage over Ukraine per day. That is not enough for uninterrupted remote piloting, but it can support short bursts of high-speed communication. 🔸 During those windows, units could upload reconnaissance footage, receive new routes and target coordinates, synchronize battlefield maps and update missions before returning to autonomous or ground-based links. Combat use of Rassvet itself has not been officially confirmed. 🔸 The Russian-built satellites use 5G-based communications, inter-satellite laser links and plasma propulsion. Laser links allow information to move between satellites without relying on a ground station beneath every part of the route. 🔸 Predictable passes currently allow electronic-warfare systems to concentrate on limited periods. But every additional orbital group lengthens the available windows, and overlapping coverage would eventually force jammers to operate almost continuously. 🔸 Bureau 1440 plans to deploy more than 250 satellites for round-the-clock global coverage. Initial customer testing is scheduled for 2026, with commercial service targeted for 2027. Rassvet currently provides a scheduled link rather than continuous coverage. But every new batch moves Russia closer to a satellite network it controls from orbit to terminal — without depending on foreign permission or vulnerable ground relays. Do you think Russia’s own Starlink could change the drone war over Ukraine?

USA!" The test simulated how Starship will one day deploy around 60 Starlink V3 satellites per launch, adding 60 terabits per second of network capacity — about 20 times more than a Falcon 9 can deliver. Starship is about to replace Falcon 9 as SpaceX's workhorse despite being bigger and more complex, because it'll cost less per kilogram to orbit. American engineers just flexed on the entire planet.

2025 was the kind of year where our calendar needed mission control. 🚀 We waved off 12 Connecta satellites, accelerated our path toward the Observa constellation, and expanded our global service footprint with new authorizations in Türkiye, Australia, Sweden and Denmark. On the ground, we leveled up operations with a new ground station in Sweden, delivered 1,000+ Connecta IoT Modems into real-world deployments, and stayed out front by showing up at major events; speaking, sharing lessons learned, and turning handshakes into real connections. Along the way, we signed new partnerships, earned meaningful awards, and closed the year with a long-term, strategic agreement that will be a global turning point for satellite-based IoT. 🛰️ Now 2026 is on the countdown clock, and we are ready for what’s next. 🚀 #WeArePlanS #PlanS #NewYear #countdown

Elon Musk explains how Starlink works? "I think there's several 1000 satellites in low Earth orbit, and they're moving around 25 times the speed of sound in these zipping around the Earth, basically. And they're at an altitude of about 550 kilometers, which is called generally low earth orbit, because they're at low Earth orbit. Their latency is low because the distances is not that far, compared to Geo stationary satellite, 36,000 kilometers. So you've got 1000s of satellites providing low latency, high speed internet throughout the world, and they are interconnected as well. So there are laser links between the satellites. So it forms sort of a laser mesh, so that if, let's say if cables are damaged or cut, like fiber cables, the satellites can communicate between each other and provide connectivity. For example, when the Red Sea cables were cut, I think a few months ago, the Starlink satellite network, continued to function."

BREAKING: $AMPG CEO CONFIRMS $AMZN, CPI & VIASAT AS SATCOM CUSTOMERS! Well, it seems that my speculative post was 100% correct and this was confirmed by the CEO Fawad himself. This is first time I've seen Amazon named by the CEO in the satcom context. CEO Fawad Maqbool was asked where AmpliTech sits in satellite, named Viasat, Amazon and CPI as ground-station customers and said they supply "pretty much all the high-end ones." To understand why this is so bullish, please read the quoted tweet where I broke down why I think Amazon will be significant customer for $AMPG in future. Amazon Leo/Kuiper needs a massive ground segment. Every antenna farm talking to those satellites needs the lowest possible noise figure on the front end, because everything is digital data now. Maqbool claims AmpliTech has the lowest noise figures in the industry. That is a pick-and-shovel position in the LEO buildout. You do not need to know which constellation wins. They all need ground stations. He also mentioned $SPCX: "Right now satellite is growing tremendously because LEOs are being launched, MEOs are being launched, SpaceX is launching, Amazon is launching satellites. All of these are going to require satellite terminals, high-speed terminals at Ku-band and Ka-band frequencies. We're in the thick of that. We're providing the most advanced, lowest-noise satellite communication terminal technology. That's a growing demand, just like the other two things I mentioned: private 5G and the commercial MNO adoption of O-RAN 5G."

🚨 STARLINK JUST LOST A SATELLITE - AND IT HIGHLIGHTS A REAL RISK OF A CROWDED ORBIT Starlink confirmed it lost contact with satellite 35956 on December 17 after an on-orbit anomaly caused it to rapidly decay and break apart. The company says the satellite will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up, with no threat to the ISS or people on the ground. Events like this are rare - NASA estimates fewer than a few dozen satellites have broken apart like this since the 1990s. But with roughly 13,000 satellites now orbiting Earth, it underscores a real concern scientists have warned about for years: Kessler Syndrome - where debris from one failure could trigger cascading collisions. Starlink says it’s actively investigating the cause. If space is getting this crowded already - how important is Starlink’s ability to actively deorbit and manage debris compared to everyone else?
