Egyptian Communications Satellite Bring Network Upgrade
Egypt is focusing on expanding its communications and network systems with an upgrade via a satellite connection from the celestial heavens, and it aims to bring its service to many locations nearby. First, it will focus on expanding the television service in the Middle East and Africa, and then expand the broadband internet in Egypt with the same satellite.
SpaceX and its Private Contracts
SpaceX is not made to fulfill missions from NASA only, as it is still a private company that operates on the will and decisions of its owners and board members that control its administration. The company has a "ride share" program that will allow multiple companies to use a single launch for different ventures, all paying for their cargo hauls from Cape Canaveral.
It also has a Commercial spacewalk program that also begun its training for private crews and upcoming astronauts that will venture into space without a national agency's tutelage on them. The space company is aiming to expand more of its Polaris program that focuses on commercial and private flights, something in which Starship will play a massive role in time.
One of SpaceX's significant ventures is launching Starlink's satellites as well.
First and foremost, SpaceX is a private company that brings many of its missions as part of contracts from other companies that wish to bring their technology to space for different reasons. The company accepts different missions and launches provided that it pays for them, and does not harm SpaceX's missions in the process.
