Lynk selects Dawn Aerospace propulsion following an extensive industry trade study

Dawn Aerospace, a leading space transportation company, reports that it has been selected to provide satellite propulsion systems for Lynk, the world's leading satellite-direct-to-standard-phone telecoms company. The partnership will enable Lynk to enhance deployment, life extension, collision avoidance, and de-orbit capabilities as its satellite constellation of 'cell towers in space' grows.

Lynk, the only commercially licensed satellite-to-mobile service provider in the world, leads a global technology shift to provide uninterrupted cellular connectivity across the globe through its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation. For Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and IoT providers, Lynk's technology will eliminate cellular dead zones in the most remote areas of Earth and deliver ubiquitous service during natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods.

"By thoroughly evaluating our propulsion system and all others available in the market, Lynk recognized the superior performance and benefits of a nitrous-based system. We take immense pride in their decision and are excited to bring our technology to the market at scale," said Dawn's CEO, Stefan Powell.

With more than $2 billion USD in signed agreements with 27 terrestrial MNOs, Lynk is growing its satellite constellation. "Our plan is to ramp up to build 200 satellites per month and hit 5,000 satellites within two years," says Lynk's CEO, Charles Miller.

"Dawn's engineering approach mirrors our own at Lynk, and they are positioned to build at scale," he continues. Miller, an advocate for vertical integration, has been vocal about the issues surrounding satellite propulsion vendors to date. "These vendors struggle to find economic fit with mega constellation customers," he said. "It is difficult to find a vendor offering a working product that does not exceed the cost of the entire satellite; Dawn has good flight heritage with a technically sound and economically viable product offering for our first generation satellite constellation."

Lynk's patented and proven technology is operational and compatible with existing standard devices, enabling consumers to utilize their current mobile phones. The company has completed successful demonstrations worldwide, including all seven continents (including Antarctica) and in 19 countries, notably in New Zealand, Australia, and the Philippines.

Astronomers sound alarm about light pollution from satellites
Paris (AFP) March 20, 2023
Astronomers on Monday warned that the light pollution created by the soaring number of satellites orbiting Earth poses an "unprecedented global threat to nature." The number of satellites in low Earth orbit have more than doubled since 2019, when US company SpaceX launched the first "mega-constellation," which comprise thousands of satellites. An armada of new internet constellations are planned to launch soon, adding thousands more satellites to the already congested area fewer than 2,000 kilom ... read more
