Vern Fotheringham, the ex-CEO of Kymeta, a company that has been aiming to revolutionize the antenna market, has become the CEO of Leosat, a company looking to target the government and business markets with its LEO satellite constellation.

We have exclusive interviews with six top executives in the industry, including four past Satellite Executive of the Year winners, about these new plans and what impact all of these constellations could have on the satellite industry as a whole.
