&lt;p&gt;Space infrastructure does not end at the edge of the atmosphere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every satellite story eventually comes back to the ground. A spacecraft may be built for orbit, but its work has to be commanded, monitored, timed, received, processed, secured, and delivered to someone on Earth.
