PARIS – Competitors or not, SpaceX continues to be willing to launch for other satellite internet companies.
The agreement covers 14 launches of the Canadian venture's Lightspeed internet satellites.
SpaceX has used its rockets to launch communications satellites for companies that compete directly or indirectly with its global Starlink internet network.
These deals come as an Amazon shareholder alleges the company snubbed SpaceX for launch contracts of the tech giant's Kuiper internet satellites.
Earlier this summer Telesat announced a swap in the manufacturer of its Lightspeed satellites, with Canadian space company MDA taking the place of French-Italian manufacturer Thales Alenia Space.
