France-based Eutelsat holds talks with ISRO on future satellite launches

Eutelsat, Europe’s main rival to Elon Musk’s satellite internet provider ​Starlink, is in talks with India’s space agency about future satellite launches as it seeks to diversify beyond ‌SpaceX and Europe’s Ariane rockets.

Jean-François Fallacher, CEO of France-based Eutelsat since last June, told Reuters that negotiations with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) were ongoing, though no deal has yet been reached.
