EU satellite telecoms constellation project
IRIS² (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellite) is a planned multi-orbit satellite internet constellation to be deployed by the European Union starting in 2029. Initial government services are expected to start in 2030. IRIS² will consist of 330 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), at an altitude of 1,200 km, and 18 satellites in medium Earth orbit (MEO), at 8,000 km. It is intended to provide secure communications, location tracking and security surveillance services to governmental agencies directly comparable to the US SpaceX Starshield project. The system aims to also provide broadband for private companies and citizens.
