Unverified50% confidenceFactExact time
A single low-Earth-orbit satellite covers a small area, requiring constellations of hundreds to thousands of satellites, and satellite lifespans are relatively short (about 5 years), placing extremely high demands on launch costs and mass manufacturing capability.

UnverifiedBecause a single low-earth-orbit satellite covers only a small area, thousands of satellites are needed to form a constellation for continuous coverage, which also means service can be precisely degraded or cut off in specific geographic areas.76% similarUnverifiedMost space agencies require low-Earth-orbit satellites to deorbit actively or passively within 25 years after the end of their mission.75% similarUnverified低轨卫星因大气阻力，其碎片会在数年至数十年内自然脱轨，自我修复能力优于中高轨道73% similarUnverifiedDirect to Cell technology requires satellites to operate in relatively low orbits of about 300-600 km to keep latency and path loss down.73% similarUnverifiedThe threshold for the low-Earth-orbit satellite internet model lies not in single-satellite technology but in the combined capabilities of launch economics, constellation operations and terminal mass production, which is the core obstacle latecomers such as Rassvet need to overcome.71% similar
