Rival Satellite Networks Pose New Threats in Ongoing Conflict
The war in Ukraine has expanded into space, with both countries developing rival satellite networks. Ukraine has struck Russian space facilities to disrupt the development of the Rassvet satellite communications system, while Russia plans to deploy 292 Rassvet satellites by next year. Ukraine is also building its own satellite communications network with 245 satellites, following restrictions imposed by SpaceX on its Starlink service. The conflict in space may have significant implications for global security, as reported by CHOSUNBIZ.
