✦AI Summary
SpaceX successfully launched the final satellites for the O3b mPower network, a medium-Earth orbit system designed for enterprise-grade connectivity. Unlike Starlink, which targets individual consumers, this network provides dedicated capacity for cruise lines, airlines, and governments.
Why it matters
The completion of this constellation highlights the diversification of satellite broadband services and the growing role of private space companies in global infrastructure.
SpaceX launched three final O3b mPower satellites Sunday, finishing a lesser known SES satellite network.
