Infracos have been a pillar of the telecom industry for quite some time, but they are now beginning to be adopted in the space and satellite industries, as satcom providers are starting to consider expanding their business models to include Ground-as-a-Service (GaaS) offerings.
In 2023, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded 16 companies IDIQ contracts for Proliferated LEO Satellite-Based Services. Just 15 months later, the contract expanded in scope and value, revolutionizing DoD access to LEO services and driving innovation.
From orbital refueling to the rise of multi-orbit systems, innovations are set to redefine the satellite landscape. Discover Analysys Mason's top 10 predictions for the future of space technology and infrastructure.
As Starlink and Kuiper leverage in-house satellite production and launches, GEO operators face challenges with outdated supply chains and innovation gaps. Industry leaders debate whether multi-orbit strategies or horizontal integration can close the competitive gap.
Open standards like 3GPP and DIFI could unlock innovation, collaboration, and flexible solutions at scale. By focusing on interoperability and ecosystem growth, traditional operators can reclaim their competitive edge.
Constellations spoke with Sergy Mummert, SVP of Sales Global Cloud and Strategy Partnerships at SES Networks, about what it takes to build resilient satcom networks. These are our top four takeaways from the conversation.
The exponential growth of sensor-generated data from satellites is currently surpassing the capacity of current transmission infrastructures for space-based data to be processed on the ground. The experts from Avalanche Technology and Kepler Communications explain why datacenters in space are the future of processing data collected from satellites.
Before the ISS can be retired, NASA and other partnering nations need an alternative for conducting microgravity scientific research and experiments. To meet this need, NASA is turning to its commercial partners, who are anxious to usher in a new era in space – the commercial space station era.
A recent tabletop exercise envisioned cybersecurity challenges in a 2035 lunar mining facility and orbital lab. The findings underscore the importance of collaboration and innovation to safeguard emerging space activities.
