SpaceCoin, which is pushing to build a decentralized satellite internet, said on the 1st that it successfully placed three units of its second demonstration satellite, "CTC-1," into the target orbit, entering the technology verification phase.
The satellites were launched in the early morning on the 29th from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, carried by SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. They have since reached their target orbit and will carry out a mission to verify key technical elements of a decentralized communications network in the actual space environment.
Multiple aerospace specialist corporations took part as partner collaborators in the launch process. These corporations shared responsibilities across overall technology development, including satellite manufacturing, integration of communications hardware, and building the mission control system, raising the project's completeness.
Previously, SpaceCoin launched its first demonstration satellite, "CTC-0," in Dec., checking basic communications functions and orbital operations capability. With this additional launch as a pivot, the company plans to fully verify inter-satellite interoperability and network scalability and further accelerate the buildout of a global satellite internet network.
The company said it will proceed step by step with experiments such as inter-satellite data consolidation, network synchronization, and ground station interoperability tests to lay the groundwork for commercial services.
