Foxconn has launched two prototype low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites aboard a SpaceX rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. This is a significant milestone for the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer, showcasing its expansion into new sectors like satellite technology to cater to the increasing demand for space-based communication systems. Foxconn's primary focus is on creating satellites for corporate and government clients, setting itself apart from Elon Musk-led SpaceX, which has deployed over 5,000 LEO satellites for its Starlink satellite internet constellation.
