Beluga

AIRBUS A-330-700 Beluga XL

European satellite makers no longer have Antonov An-124 heavy lift aircraft available to carry their giant, school-bus sized satellites from the factory to the launch site. There is this Airbus whale, but there are only five of them, so I suspect they are going to be scrambling to accommodate everyone. There are roughly 25 of the Antonovs, but they are Russian, so all in thrawl to the western empire are forbidden from using them. Note that the An-124 is the little brother to the single An-225 that was destroyed recently in Ukraine.
