O3b mPower 1 and 2 are created and operated by SES, a Luxembourgish – French satellite telecommunications network company.
If SPACE X would have been succeeded to launch both Falcon 9 satellites and Starlink satellites on the same day, it could’ve created a record for the quickest turnaround between orbital launches.
