Russia\'s Starlink-style network stumbles after satellite losses, orbit delays
Russia\'s low-Earth-orbit satellite internet network Rassvet-3 is facing satellite losses and delays in raising orbits. Some satellites launched in March and July failed to climb after separation, and at least one re-entered the atmosphere and was lost. Others remain far below the roughly 800 km target orbit, with some manoeuvres halted for undisclosed reasons. A reported strike on the Soyuz-2.1b rocket production site could also affect the rollout schedule.
