欧洲计划建立一个卫星网络与Starlink对立,在2020年代前推进宽带和独立。 Europe plans a satellite network to rival Starlink, boosting broadband and independence by 2020s.

欧洲正在推进推出大型卫星星座的计划,以挑战埃隆·穆斯克的星际链路,目的是确保该大陆在全球通信和互联网接入方面的独立性。 Europe is moving forward with plans to launch a large satellite constellation to challenge Elon Musk’s Starlink, aiming to ensure the continent’s independence in global communications and internet access. 在欧盟和成员国的支持下,该项目涉及数百颗低地球轨道卫星,旨在提供高速宽带,特别是向农村和服务不足的地区提供宽带。 Backed by the EU and member states, the project involves hundreds of low-Earth orbit satellites designed to provide high-speed broadband, especially to rural and underserved areas. 虽然发射时间表、供资和技术细节仍在最后确定中,但该倡议反映出人们对依赖美国空间基础设施的日益关切。 While launch schedules, funding, and technical details are still being finalized, the initiative reflects growing concerns over reliance on U.S.-based space infrastructure. 这一努力将欧洲航空航天公司、研究机构和公共机构团结在一起,将可持续性、网络安全和合规作为优先事项。 The effort unites European aerospace companies, research institutions, and public agencies, prioritizing sustainability, cybersecurity, and compliance. 随着欧洲在全球竞争和地缘政治紧张局势不断加剧的情况下寻求更大的技术主权,第一批运行中的卫星可以在几年内发射,预计到2020年代后期将全面部署。 First operational satellites could launch within a few years, with full deployment expected by the late 2020s, as Europe seeks greater technological sovereignty amid rising global competition and geopolitical tensions.
