#SpaceMission #ESA #EutelsatQuantum A few hours ago, the telecommunications #satellites Star One D2 and Eutelsat Quantum were launched from the Kourou spaceport, in French Guiana, to be sent into a geostationary orbit. Of the two satellites, Eutelsat Quantum was the very special one as it's the first fully commercial satellite that can be reprogrammed in orbit to respond to changing broadcast needs.
