Space Situational Awareness: Is the World Waking Up?
The recent case of the NASA toolbox accidently dropped by an International Space Station astronaut, has propelled the space situational awareness (SSA) issue into the mainstream headlines. With increasing numbers of satellites being deployed, particularly into LEO, and the growing problem of space debris, the SSA issue seems to at last be gathering momentum.
As Demand Rises, Will More Industries Switch to Satellite Communications for SCADA Equipment Monitoring?
The world is rapidly becoming more industrialized. Oil companies are doubling down in the months ahead as worldwide oil demand is predicted to rise to 1.1 million barrels per day in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
A Year of Momentum
Across the satellite industry, we have long been targeting an expanded role within the global telecom world. This year, we saw advances on many fronts: a growing abundance of on-orbit capacity, faster and more efficient capabilities, a stronger commitment to common standards, virtualization proofs of concept, progress on network interoperability, and the ability to provide multi-orbit connectivity.
Non-Terrestrial Networks: The Future of Connectivity
With the growing need for continuous coverage, both for consumers and businesses, satellite connectivity is becoming increasingly important in the market. One of the main challenges that this has had in the past is the additional cost of both extra hardware and the high service prices to access the satellite networks.
Space Threats: Tracking & Monitoring
With recent worldwide events, it has become clear that the Space Domain is becoming an integral part of the battlefield. This is not only for communications, but also counterspace activities.
