Russia’s satellite internet project Rassvet, promoted as a rival to Starlink, has reportedly failed to reach its intended orbit six months after launch. The setback could delay efforts to establish a reliable domestic or military communications network in space. Engineers may need to investigate propulsion, navigation, or deployment problems before attempting corrective maneuvers. The incident also highlights the technical and financial challenges of building large satellite constellations, particularly amid international restrictions affecting Russia’s access to advanced space technology and expertise.
