AI Fusion Summary

Russia's Starlink rival has faced a significant setback as all 16 satellites from the second batch of the Rassvet-3 constellation failed to reach their intended operational altitude. Many satellites achieved less than half of the 870km target, with two already falling back to Earth. Consequently, only 12 out of the 32 launched satellites are currently set for long-term orbit, leaving the ambitious project floundering after this latest deployment failure in space.
