The first test satellite of the future Ukrainian OBRIA NANO communications network, developed by the Ukrainian company HIMERA and the Danish company GomSpace, has begun operations in orbit. It was launched on 1 October as part of the SpaceX Transporter-18 mission.
The project's goal is to create an independent Ukrainian satellite network for strategic needs and to reduce dependence on external infrastructure. Going forward, they plan to localize production of satellites and ground terminals in Ukraine.
