Facebook does not want the world to know what it is up to with these projects!

Spaceport loses Facebook as potential client

On Wednesday, Facebook engineer Yael Maquire said the company would instead look for other firms to partner with, such as aerospace manufacturer Airbus, to develop the high-altitude aircraft and other technology needed to provide airborne internet service.

“We’ve decided not to design or build our own aircraft any longer, and to close our facility in Bridgewater (England),” Maquire wrote in her post.

The program has been shrouded in secrecy since its start, including efforts to turn the Spaceport into an Aquila testbed.

In April, Business Insider was the first to report Facebook was working with the Spaceport based on series of emails between the company and Spaceport officials obtained through the New Mexico public records law. The emails indicate that a nondisclosure agreement was signed to preserve Facebook’s anonymity, with the company referred to under the code name Denali in public documents.

Exclusive rights to IP gives Mynaric the edge in airborne applications
Competitors typically are orientated towards providing expensive, one-off equipment for
governments and research institutes for space programmes. Mynaric is unusual in that the CEO’s
background in industry has led the company to develop a product that is ultimately intended for
volume production and for deployment in commercial applications. Importantly, Mynaric is more
focused than its competitors on airborne applications. This is because it has exclusive rights to key
IP developed by the DLR for transmitting wireless laser signals between and up to moving airborne
platforms. It has added its own engineering IP, with the combination forming a key source of
competitive advantage. Management notes that Mynaric is the first and so far the only company to
have transmitted at 10Gbps from an airborne terminal to a ground terminal.

Proposed deployments
Several aerial networks are at early stages of development. The most well-known of these have
been proposed by Facebook, Google and Elon Musk. Mynaric has not publicly stated that it is
involved in any of these projects other than the one being developed by Airborne Wireless Network
(AWN), but we note that in 2016 Mynaric conducted an air-to-air test in the stratosphere.
