Falcon 9 Rivada Outernet 1

First launch of 24 Rivada Outernet communication satellites. Rivada Space Networks aims to deliver gigabit-speed internet globally, including the polar regions, bypassing the public internet and third-party infrastructure. The project rests on a constellation of 600 LEO satellites called the "Outernet", placed at an orbit of 1050km. This network is designed as a second internet backbone in space, capable of routing traffic from one satellite to another with no need for a gateway on earth until the data reaches its destination.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Rivada Outernet 1 mission. The launch date is currently targeted for 2026 (UTC).
