New funding for innovation in Satcomms ⤵️ The UK Space Agency Connectivity in Low-Earth Orbit (C-LEO) programme will provide up to £160 million of funding over the next 4 years to UK companies and researchers to develop innovative satellite communications technology. Satellite communication is a vital technology and the commercial market is undergoing fundamental market evolution. The programme will ensure that the UK space sector is able to compete in the rapidly growing global market of low-Earth orbit (LEO) constellations. C-LEO funding will support the development of smarter satellites with better hardware, the use of AI to make data delivery faster and improved connections between satellites – all creating interconnected networks serving billions worldwide. https://lnkd.in/eB4Gd3mm

#FCC has adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking which proposes a licensing framework for space stations conducting in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing. The move aims to foster novel space activities and support sustained economic activity and innovation in the new space age. Read our alert for more details. #NPRM #ISAM #SpaceExploration

The recent contract awards to Blue Origin, CACI International, General Atomics, and Viasat by the Space Systems Command illustrates the evolution of space-based communication technologies. Under the Enterprise Space Terminal program, these companies will pioneer the development of advanced optical communication terminals tailored for space, optimizing size, weight, power, and cost factors. This initiative underscores the critical role of space-based infrastructure in enhancing national security through robust, interconnected satellite networks capable of supporting vital data transmission across multiple orbits. As we look ahead, these innovations promise to redefine the future of satellite communication, ensuring resilience and reliability in safeguarding our nation's interests. Companies wanting to collaborate can leverage their expertise in optical communications and satellite systems to deliver innovative solutions that meet the stringent requirements of the Enterprise Space Terminal program. Key differentiators for industry players should include a strong focus on scalability, interoperability, and cybersecurity resilience, aligning with Space Systems Command's objectives of establishing a versatile space mesh network.

A thanks to the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) 🇪🇺 🛰️ 🚀 for the opportunity to contribute a China #commercial #space 🇨🇳 investment analysis chapter in their annual Space Venture Report. Particularly big thanks (and also congrats!) to Matija Rencelj and João Falcão Serra for having pulled together such an interesting report. In China, among other things we see that 2024 funding had already overtaken 2023 as of mid-May. This was in part due to a massive funding round by #SSST for their #G60 constellation, but also reflects large rounds by satellite manufacturers and launch service providers.

The SES acquisition of Intelsat for $3.1 billion marks a pivotal moment for the GEO satellite industry, particularly in a market increasingly dominated by LEO constellations. While this move might streamline operations and consolidate market power, one must wonder about the long-term innovation impact. Will this consolidation stifle competition and slow the pace of technological advancements? Having a background in the space and satellite sector, I am keenly watching how this strategic alignment will address the unique challenges of modern connectivity demands versus merely scaling up. It’s essential that this merger does not just create a bigger entity but also a more agile and innovative one. #Satellite #SpaceIndustry #SatelliteCommunications #BusinessStrategy SES Satellites Intelsat
