AST SpaceMobile Announces First Five Commercial Satellites Completed Final Assembly and Ready for Shipment the First Week of August https://lnkd.in/gBKKegex
Interesting breakdown of the players and number of satellites.
Seven tonnes of satellites to be launched daily on average over the next decade amid value chain consolidation. A new report from Novaspace is forecasting a significant increase in satellite demand through 2033, predicting an average of 3,700 satellites launched annually over the next ten years. This equates to 10 satellites going into space daily, with a total mass of 7 tonnes per day. https://lnkd.in/drbciQKV

This is very impressive. Its the sort of area I would love to work in. But it is true, that there will be a lot of 'space junk' orbiting the earth between these and StarLink along with whatever else is put up there in the future. We have already seen the impact of StarLink satellites disrupting dark sky and astrophotography. I'm guessing when all of these satellite projects are more complete, dark skies may be a thing of the past which is a big negative for sure. However, looking at the potential plus points, high-speed Internet connectivity on aircraft, boats, and many other types of transport even when they are in remote areas offer great possibilities. Connectivity at all times for hikers, mountaineers and others etc., adding great levels of extra safety, as well as the possibility of global roaming plans. Very interesting technologies.
This is a pretty cool picture, but what is it? It shows how our Project Kuiper broadband satellites will use optical links to connect to each other once fully deployed. If you’re familiar with a mesh network, it’s essentially what these links allow us to build in low Earth orbit with our Project Kuiper broadband satellite constellation. Our satellites use lasers to connect to each other so that if one is passing over a place where there is no nearby ground gateway to connect to, it can still deliver connectivity to customers on Earth by linking to nearby satellites. It’s an important feature we built into our prototypes, and, today, we’re happy to share we’ve been able to demonstrate the ability to optically link our two prototype satellites at 100 gigabits per second over a distance of approx. 600 miles. It’s another important capability we’ve been able to show works in the lab and now in space, and it will be part of our production satellites when we start deploying them next year. Congrats, team, on the progress! https://lnkd.in/g4Q9v9zY
The Satellite Industry Association (SIA) has released its 27th annual State of the Satellite Industry Report (SSIR), a global summary of the commercial satellite industry. During 2023, the industry continued to grow at an unprecedented rate. For a sixth consecutive year, the commercial satellite industry launched a record number of commercial satellites into orbit. A total of 2,781 commercial satellites were deployed during 2023, an increase of 20 percent compared to the previous year, while the space industry once again conducted the most launches (190) in history. By the end of 2023, a total of 9,691 active satellites circled the earth, an increase of 361 percent over the past five years.
𝗛𝗮𝘄𝗸𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝟯𝟲𝟬 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟬, 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗙 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 HawkEye 360, a provider of space-based radio frequency (RF) data analytics, announced the launch of its Cluster 10 satellites aboard the Transporter-11 Rideshare mission with SpaceX via launch integrator Exolaunch. The satellites launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California to a sun-synchronous orbit August 16th at 2:20 PM EDT. Adding these three satellites will enhance the company's robust constellation, increasing the total to 32 satellites and significantly augmenting global RF monitoring capabilities. Cluster 10 will reinforce HawkEye 360's capacity for frequent revisits to areas of strategic interest globally. Once on orbit, these satellites will enhance HawkEye 360's collection capabilities, providing more comprehensive coverage and timely data across vital regions. Cluster 10 will continue to advance HawkEye 360’s mission of delivering precise and actionable RF insights, ensuring greater coverage and enhanced monitoring capabilities.
Did you know? 🚀 The Communications Satellite Act was officially passed in 1962, allowing telecommunications to finally go into space. 🛰️ AT&T was in the process of constructing their satellites, and two short years later, they would have put six telecommunications satellites into orbit. #CommunicationsSatelliteAct #SpaceTelecommunications #AT&T #telecomhistory
Anuvu announces NuView-Alpha and NuView-Bravo as Anuvu Constellation prepares for launch Anuvu announces the names of the first two satellites in the Anuvu Constellation, NuView-A and NuView-B. Named to reflect Anuvu’s “new view” of the mobility connectivity market, the NuView duet is a new class of High Throughput Satellite (HTS) that will form a key element in the geostationary orbit layer of the Anuvu network. After many years as the world’s largest lessor of geostationary satellite capacity, Anuvu is set to become a satellite operator with the launch of NuView-A and NuView-B in mid-2024, providing high-performance connectivity over North America and the Caribbean. The duet will deliver 50 gigabits per second of additional bandwidth for the company’s global mobility network. #Space #Satellite #Launch #MobileConnectivity #Connectivity #Bandwidth #HTS https://lnkd.in/eMfJDMcK
