When things just work, isn’t that really a thing of beauty? When things work, we’re able to do more, to achieve more. We progress. We improve. However, sometimes to get […]

There is a new world order. People around the globe want, need – no, rather must have – data. And lots of it. Regardless of where you live, work or […]

Smallsats and the rise of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations have generated attention and media coverage in recent years. At the same time, orders for large satellites in Geostationary Orbit […]

It’s a solid vote of confidence. The United Kingdom’s National Space Strategy is an endorsement of the homegrown innovators in the sector. It puts into focus two things: The United […]

With thousands of satellites blanketing the planet, it’s not just hype and we’re not on the cusp — this is the time of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations. Detractors may continue […]

Life interrupted: The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly spread around the world, leaving devastation in its wake and the way we lived and worked. In these extraordinary times, everything seemingly flipped upside […]

“It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life” … for satellite. Over the last five or so years, there has been a downward trend of satellite […]

Double-digit growth is a big deal, especially when it comes after several years of decline. But in the case of orders for large commercial satellites, the double-digit growth recorded in […]
