Elon Musk fulfilled a promise to get additional SpaceX satellite dishes into Ukraine, drawing thanks from the deputy prime minister who over the weekend had pleaded for the tools to keep internet communication working amid Russia’s invasion.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp., based in Hawthorne, California, is primarily known for launching rockets for global satellite operators, the U.S. military and NASA. It’s also in the process of sending thousands of Starlink satellites into orbit, creating an internet-service constellation that would work as a low-cost alternative to remote land-based systems that are vulnerable to interruption.

Starlink marks SpaceX’s first foray into a truly consumer-facing product. Though first customers have largely been people who live in rural areas in Canada and the northern U.S., there is enormous interest from the U.S. military in how a space-based broadband service operates in a battlefield. Social media out of Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, shows that some users already have their equipment up and running.

Musk, SpaceX, the Digital Transformation Ministry and a representative for the Ukrainian ambassador in Washington didn’t respond to inquiries about the equipment.

Tears grips my heart knowing how hard I’ve struggled to find a legit platform. I never wanted to do this but I’ll be guilty if I don’t share this good news to people, earnwithCamrinn is the best and her platform I’ve ever known. earnwithCamrinn
