Market Trends

Los Angeles, Calif.,  March 15, 2024-In recent years the satellite industry has undergone a profound change–and one that is still continuing.  High Throughput Satellites (HTS) have been joined by Very- and Ultra-High Throughput Satellites (VHTS and UHTS), and more recently by software defined satellites.  Thousands of Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellites are in operation.  At the same time, new applications are constantly emerging.  In-orbit Servicing (IoS) is a reality and Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is becoming a necessity, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) extends its reach on a daily basis.  The range of frequency bands in regular use is expanding.  L, C, Ku and Ka-bands are being joined by greater use of S, X and now V-band.  Space tourism is a reality and in the next few years there will be satellites orbiting the moon, as well as earth.

Washington, D.C. March 19, 2024--In the heart of Germany, a rocket startup company, esteeped in the German tradition of excellence in rocketry and space technology, has been quietly making preparations for Germany’s first private launch in the new space era with a launch window presumably starting at the end of April this year.
