Earth Observation: More than Data & Insights
Satellite data applications have grown recently due to a variety of factors: the rise of small satellite platforms, the increased adoption of cloud computing, IoT, and machine learning, amongst others.
Determining Success for Smallsat Launchers
With so many small launch startups racing towards success on a global scale, the stakes have never been higher to cut through the noise and evaluate all initiatives for probability of success before committing to a launch partner. Well-informed decisions will be critical to all industry players involved (investors, smallsat operators, brokers, and partners) as they will have far-reaching consequences. So, what factors need to be considered and analyzed to help tip the scales when making these decisions?
Mining Satcom: Jump-Starting a Stalled Market
Mining should be an ideal energy segment for the satellite industry to generate progressing revenues, given the remote nature of operations, the mission-criticality of requirements and the growing digitization activities in the sector as a whole.
Small GEO Satellites – Viable Option or Not?
Small GEOs – the latest solution in the long list of capacity options that operators are looking to implement. With rising competition in most countries, and decreasing break-even pricing via ever more efficient satellites and reduced launch costs, many operators see large GEO sats as quite risky for regional appetite.
Smallsats a Big Change for MSS IoT
With small satellite operators continuing to receive new rounds of funding, and small satellite launches continuing, what impact will this have on existing satellite M2M/IoT market and operators?
