TL;DR Summary

SpaceX launched the third and fourth satellites for SES' O3b mPower broadband network on April 28, bringing the company one step closer to launching its next-generation broadband constellation in medium Earth orbit. The first pair of satellites launched in December 2020 have reached their target positions, and the company needs just six of the 11 Boeing-built satellites to start providing services that promise 10 times more throughput than its current MEO constellation.
