The first experimental satellite of the future Ukrainian communications network Obria Nano, created by the Ukrainian company HIMERA and the Danish GomSpace, has started operating in orbit. It was launched on October 1 as part of the SpaceX Transporter-18 mission. The goal of the project is to create an independent Ukrainian satellite network for strategic needs and reduce dependence on external infrastructure. In the future, they plan to locate the production of satellites and ground terminals in Ukraine.
