    Article doesn’t mention planned total size of constellation, minimal functional size, when it plans to be in service, what altitude it orbits at etc. Completely useless.

    Also this sounds strange:
    > The report noted that the spacecraft will integrate a 5G NTN communications system, an upgraded power supply system, next-generation satellite-to-satellite laser communication terminals, and a plasma propulsion unit.

    Are these current capabilities or not (“will integrate”?)
