Can Europe's New Space Star Beat SpaceX's Starlink?
Once a customer of Elon Musk and his SpaceX rocket company, Europe's Eutelsat (OTC: EUTLF) is about to become...a competitor. In the summer of 2016, Eutelsat earned at least a footnote in the history books when one of its satellites became the payload on an early SpaceX mission aimed at demonstrating the reusability of rockets. With nearly 3,000 broadband internet satellites launched over the last three years, SpaceX Starlink is currently the largest satellite communications constellation in orbit -- and the largest satellite constellation, period.
