Mongolia in talks with SpaceX to launch first national satellite
The Mongolian government is in discussions with SpaceX, headed by Elon Musk, to launch Mongolia's first national telecommunications satellite. The satellite, being constructed by Thales Alenia Space, aims to improve disaster management, emergency response, broadband internet access, scientific research, and education in Mongolia. This move aligns with Mongolia's goal to develop its domestic space industry and enhance connectivity. In addition, SpaceX has been granted licenses to operate as an internet service provider in Mongolia, allowing users to access high-speed internet via Starlink.
