Senegal enters African space race with GAINDESAT-1A nanosat

Malaysian telco CelcomDigi on Friday said it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with satellite operator SES to find ways to use SES’s medium-earth-orbit (MEO) and geosynchronous satellites to connect businesses and communities in Malaysia.

Space X subsidiary Starlink reversed course and agreed to block access to fellow Elon Musk-owned company X (formerly Twitter), to maintain its satellite internet service in Brazil.

Veon-owned Ukrainian telco Kyivstar said on Monday it has successfully connected its core network to Starlink’s LEO satellite infrastructure, bringing it a step closer to offering direct-to-device (D2D) satellite services later this year.
