MethaneSAT’s Post

In the last few years, satellites in #LEO have nearly quadrupled from ~2,000 in 2021 to almost 8,000 today — orbital debris is also rapidly increasing. Knowing what’s happening when it’s happening is critical in this environment. We can keep you mission-ready. Come see us next week at AMOS Conference to learn how.

"I'm gonna take the Amazon job. I figure I can commit until launch" This is what I told my husband almost four years ago after finding out I was indeed getting an offer to join #ProjectKuiper. 1,372 Day 1's later, I can't imagine being anywhere else. I'm absolutely blown away by how much we've accomplished over the years and can't wait for the next phase of our program - building and launching our constellation. (this is where I drop a shameless plug for my MFG and Production teams - we're hiring!) I remember asking a very smart leader at Microsoft what kept him there for over two decades. He told me he looked at his career in three year sprints. What will I launch next? What deliverable will I get to work on for the next 2-3 years? And do that thing. Then, ask again. Friends, I've asked that question - now that we've launched, what will I do next? What's the next big thing for ME personally as a recruiter? The answer? Build out the Production team with the absolute BEST hiring managers a girl could ask for (bonus, I helped bring most of them to Kuiper too). Can't wait to see what the next 1,372 days bring. 🛰 ❤️

How big are your ~200 Planet satellites? 🛰 Quick answer: 🍌

Innovation knows no bounds. So, we've reached for the stars... literally!   Awesome to see the successful Falcon 9 rocket launch of the first-ever Direct to Cell satellites, which T-Mobile’s network will use to connect customers in remote places. Once the satellites are positioned in space, we'll begin testing with one goal in mind: keep our customers connected in ways that cell signals have never been able to cover before. https://lnkd.in/gQZ5gaEf

An entire economy in orbit is emerging, but also much more than that... when a citizen (a special one :D) has in orbit thousands of satellites, and has a plan to put in orbit and control 30,000 (thirty thousand satellites!!) ...while for example the U.S. launched "only" 2000 in the period 2011-2020, the possible scenarios will be unthinkable and unimagined today by most, the book I am translating into Italian is of help to understand something epochal and relevant to everyone's life. https://lnkd.in/dRShA9U2 Pietro Guerrieri Italian Institute for the Future #futuresliteracy #futuresthinking #anticipation #anticipatorygovernance

Following Episode 1 on all topics of relevance to satellite, here's now an exciting Episode 2 on inter-satellite links under discussion at #WRC23. Don't miss this story from #SES on the beauty of combining #GSO and #NGSO together!

How many satellites are orbiting the earth? The number grows year-on-year as satellite technology continues to advance. What impact is this exponential expansion having on public safety and what does the future hold? Our very own Fotis Karonis will be among the panel members discussing this at CCW 2024. When: May 15 | 12:30-13:15 Where: Theatre C Join us for the panel discussion: https://bit.ly/3W0dlfi #CCW24 #SatelliteConnectivity #CriticalCommunications #PublicSafety

I love this #SatelliteStories podcast mini series dedicated to the upcoming #WRC23! 💡 My colleagues Benoit, Samuel and Kristina had a very interesting conversation on inter-satellite links – uses, advantages and their potential to enhance capabilities of Earth Observation & other space science missions. Tune in to our latest podcast episode!

✨Kinéis: Satellites Revolutionize Global Data ✨ Thank you so much for this great piece news of the world! If you want to know more about Kinéis and industrialization check here 👇 https://lnkd.in/e6TpFHCb

I recommend listening to my dear SES Satellites expert colleagues explaining how #wrc23 with agenda item 1.17 can enable increased connectivity for #earthobservation and small satellites. Go 🛰️2🛰️!!
