The Arctic Space Race Heats Up: China, U.S., Europe Build Antenna Farms in the Far North
The race for space dominance has shifted north, and the Arctic is now a critical hub for global satellite networks. From Deadhorse, Alaska, to Svalbard’s massive polar station, major powers are scrambling to build antenna farms that maintain nonstop contact with satellites circling above. These remote facilities are shaping global security, powering surveillance systems, enabling military coordination and climate monitoring—and climate change is raising the stakes even higher. This deep dive explains why ground antennas in the frozen north now matter as much as rockets in orbit.
