To be honest, I don't even know if that is that is good or bad. Too many unkowns. But it is interesting given the current tensions between the US and Europe.

Interesting story to see if Germany 🇩🇪 has learned the lesson on 'sovereign capability'

MYNARIC 🇩🇪 makes terminals that allow satellites to communicate via laser with ground stations

This is high-bandwidth, low-latency, hard-to-jam comms (i.e what military needs)

Також варто відзначити угоду з Mynaric — німецьким постачальником терміналів оптичного зв'язку, які Rocket Lab обрала для своєї програми SDA.

Компанія акцентує увагу на швидкості виробництва та вертикальній інтеграції як своїх конкурентних перевагах.
