One possibility is that Facebook's Athena satellite may launch on an Arianespace rocket as soon as March 2020.Facebook is still determined to go to space — and it could happen within a month. The Silicon Valley social network firm has long harbored plans to launch a satellite, but it has been beset by yearlong delays. Public filings, however, show that Facebook is still actively preparing for a launch.

Facebook's experiments with orbital technology are intended as a way to help provide internet access to parts of the world with poor connectivity. It's part of its mission to— or in more concrete terms, to expand the total potential market for its services and fuel its future growth and profits. The plans indicate that despite Facebook's years of bruising scandals, its bold, extraterrestrial ambitions remain undimmed. The satellite that's planned for launch is experimental, and only the first step in a broader project to create a network of satellites dedicated to providing people around the world with internet access. If successful, it could portend a future fleet of thousands of Facebook-owned satellites, to rival the likes of Elon Musk's SpaceX or OneWeb.
