Russia Launches Rassvet Satellite Constellation
Description
Russias Rassvet constellation, launched by the Defense Ministry, aims to rival SpaceXs Starlink with 300 satellites by 2030, offering speeds up to 1 Gbps and latency around 70 ms. The project, led by Bureau 1440, has clear military applications and is backed by the Communications Ministry. Unlike Starlink, Rassvets near-polar orbits ensure coverage across all Russia, but its bulkier terminals may slow deployment. The projects ties to telecom and surveillance tech suggest bigger plays in digital control and future conflicts waged from orbit.
