OneWeb antennas in the Arctic
The United States Army is considering using the services of a satellite operator to improve the quality of communications in the Arctic.
The Pentagon intends to help bankrupt British satellite company OneWeb. This was announced on May 12 by the Deputy Commander of the General of the United States Space Forces, David Thompson, reports Interfax.
It should be noted that the United States Department of Defense is considering using OneWeb’s services to improve the quality of military communications in the Arctic.
According to Thompson, the Pentagon will ask Congress for financial assistance not only for OneWeb, but also for other bankrupt commercial space companies, many of which have encountered problems due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the general, the US military is considering a list of space companies that need quick help. They want to keep them afloat so that space technology is not overtaken by potential adversaries from the United States.
Remember, OneWeb is trying to sell your business as part of a bankruptcy proceeding. Their representatives have already reported failed attempts to obtain funds due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Western media reports, Chinese companies have already offered OneWeb financial support.
Previously, the company launched 74 Internet satellites into orbit, providing global coverage.
