Space Systems Command’s Post

Well-capitalized commercial space enterprises and large sources of committed funding from government agencies continue to transform the space sector, creating a wider range of opportunities for significant and sustainable revenue generation.  In this article, our Aerospace, Defense & Government Services Group—recently back from the Satellite 2024 conference, where they met with a number of industry participants across the space ecosystem—shares key insights on the near-term trends M&A investors should be watching.  https://lnkd.in/e--gnCAS Chris Rogers, Christopher Smith, Elliot C., Eric Logue, Jenson Dunn 

Govini’s flagship platform, Ark, was awarded Impact Level 5 (IL5) Authority to Operate (ATO) by United States Space Force Space Systems Command. This enables the best-in-class integration of Govini's data with Space Force programs—unlocking unprecedented capabilities and workflows. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e3rPE2ZX

Thank you very much Maria Willander, Jannica Niklasson and Signe isbäck for arranging the opportunity for me to take you and your Telenor colleagues on this journey. The journey - "From Peenemünde to Mars and even further away" - is not your everyday trip 😀 See and hear about space and humanity in the past, present, and future. From war efforts to spacecraft, interstellar objects, the near-miss with Earth in 2013, intelligent signals, water on Mars, when and why we'll return to the Moon, how far we've travelled, the most challenging (still unsolved) problems of living on another planet, and much more. What can some insight into space exploration bring to your staff? Spending about an hour instead of working? It is definitely something very different. It raises questions, sparks curiosity, and shows that others have solved problems that no one else has solved before. It could spur the imagination and, by extension, perhaps give a more open mind to work even more solution and team-oriented, more out-of-the-box, and focus innovatively in another dimension than today. P.S. This experience is delivered completely pro bono in a little bit more than 1 hour. It’s just great to spark interest for Space among more people. 🚀

Space Launch Delta 30 (Vandenberg Space Force Base) has revolutionized West Coast space and test launch with a historic 51 launches in 2024. "We are scaling our capacity and accelerating our space launch capabilities to meet national demands and maintain a competitive edge in the space domain," said Col. Mark Shoemaker, VSFB commander. 👉 https://lnkd.in/g-2KkUTU

"We must do everything in our power to effectively utilize space, as it allows us to always know what is happening across all fronts at any given time." At the DefenseTech Summit, Tel Aviv, Avi Berger, Head of the Space Directorate at DDR&D, emphasized the critical role of space in modern warfare. "Space enables near real-time intelligence, ensuring the IDF can operate effectively across multiple fronts, some as far as 2,000 kilometers from Israel."

The U.S. is charting a new course in space defense, moving beyond centralized, costly assets to a flexible, distributed infrastructure. This transformation is creating unprecedented opportunities for investors and innovators in the space economy.

An intense 45 minutes at Global MilSatCom! Sustainability of orbits and sustainability of spectrum would require one conference each but, together with co-panelists Andrew D'Uva, Martin Coleman, and Dave Black, I did my best to provide an introduction tailored to a military audience. Cheat sheet: - Outer Space is one of the Global Commons (like the ocean). - Valuable orbits are Common Pool Resources (like the fisheries), characterized by (1) difficulty of exclusion and (2) subtractive consumption. This means that no single entity in in charge of the space environment, whose stewardship is a responsibility shared among all civil and military stakeholders, including spacecraft operators, manufacturers, providers of space situational/domain awareness services, watchdogs, and even legislative bodies. International cooperation is crucial to agree common rules of behaviour, enable exchange of operational data (while respecting national security), and foster convergence of regulatory regimes. Commercial and institutional spacecraft operators - please reach out to the Space Data Association to find out how more than 30 operators are already collaborating to improve space safety and preserve the space environment! With thanks to SAE Media Group Defence for the invitation and to Helen Weedon of Radical Moves Ltd for moderating! #MilSatCom #SpaceSustainability #SpaceSafety #SpaceDebris #SpaceTraffic #SpaceEnvironment

“I think it's fair to say we're facing a software crisis in aerospace." In this conversation with Phillip Buckendorf, CEO of Air Space Intelligence, he discusses the challenges, and potential solutions, for managing an increasingly complex yet essential airspace.
