Satellite insurers are recalibrating risk models as mega-constellations, orbital congestion, emerging technologies and new mission profiles reshape how the industry evaluates and covers an increasingly complex space market.
Satellite direct-to-device startup Elveo Mobile, the result of the merger of Lynk Global and Omnispace, has selected Apex Space’s “Factory X” satellite-production model to produce Elveo’s initial 320-satellite constellation at a dedicated factory using Lynk IP.
Europe’s push for sovereign space capabilities is driving increased investment while forcing satellite vendors to become more selective about where they compete and how they position their offerings.
How The Gentlemen ransomware group’s breach of a technology supplier exposed sensitive aerospace and defense data, highlighting the growing cyber risks posed by third-party vendors and interconnected space industry supply chains.
Orbital sustainability is becoming a strategic business imperative as satellite growth and congestion drive demand for automated collision avoidance, coordinated traffic management, spacecraft servicing and stronger global regulations.
The ground segment is rapidly shifting toward software-defined, cloud-enabled and automated systems that give satellite operators greater scalability, flexibility and efficiency as missions expand from large constellations to the Moon.
ABI Research explores how growing demand for satellite spectrum is challenging decades-old regulations and how new technologies could enable more efficient spectrum sharing across increasingly crowded GEO, MEO and LEO networks.
Dr. Kelly Backes of MITRE explores how advances in quantum sensing, timing and navigation could strengthen the security and resilience of future space systems, and why the industry needs to start preparing now.
IURUS Consulting’s Jesús Bernal Allende explores how autonomous spacecraft are challenging traditional approaches to liability, oversight and licensing, pushing regulators toward new frameworks for accountability in an increasingly algorithmic orbital environment.
