The growth rate of new space cyber threats and vulnerability will continue to track with the knowledge economy itself, doubling every two years. It will remain our Achilles heel if the requirements process to secure the cyber domain continue down the same traditional path. We must do better, and we can. Kicking off our SATELLITE 2023 Government and Military Forum, Charles Beames, co-founder and Chairman of the SmallSat Alliance and Executive Chiarman SpiderOak Mission Systems, will discuss the necessity for the U.S. to pivot towards a comprehensive cybersecurity plan immediately, the first step of which is to implement Zero Trust architectures (ZTA) across networks, and at the data level where possible. Zero Trust is a design philosophy that begins with a “trust no one” mindset to assure that soldiers in the field can safely receive the orders, coordinates, and intelligence they need to conduct military options.
The SATELLITE 2023 Tech Forum kicks off with the return of our CTO Roundtable – a top-level technological view into the future of satellite systems engineering. On this year’s panel, we’ve gathered CTOs from some of the most innovative space companies to share what they identify as key trends in system architecture and design and satellite device development. The speakers will also address: how their companies have evolved performance, analysis, verification, and validation processes; their strategies to reduce the cost of complex solutions; and how they are developing a pipeline of engineering talent in a competitive job market.
Most of the commercial space and satellite industry’s end-users don’t care about where, specifically, the satellites providing service are located in space, as long as they are delivering the performance, reliability, and security promised. That said, it is important for our customers to understand why their specific applications are better supported by spacecraft in specific orbits. This session aims to provide a clear and concise explanation and comparison of the characteristics of LEO, MEO, and GEO satellites – highlighting key similarities and differences. The goal is to cut through the industry speak and create more knowledgeable customers. Topics include: defining latency; how constellations and single satellite systems behave; comparative costs; and the benefits of multi-orbit systems.
The last three years have completely changed the nature and degree of threats to military space systems. COVID-19, supply chain issues, geopolitical tensions, the war in Ukraine, the volatile global economy, food and energy crises, space debris, and the development of anti-satellite weapons are all contributing factors that are increasing risks in space. During this session, our panelists will address the biggest present and evolving threats to military space systems. The discussion will also include debate on the effectiveness of technology solutions and strategic policy to protect government assets in orbit.
Executives, analysts, and thought leaders present a one-hour overview of the satellite industry’s financial health going into a challenging 2023 fiscal year.

Designed for attendees from all commercial, government, and industry markets, this session will give you insight on the satellite industry’s ability to keep costs low while developing complex solutions that are in demand.
Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s 1961 orbital flight made him the first-ever person in space, kicking off the beginning of now over 60 years of human exploration beyond Earth’s atmosphere. As access to space has evolved, both sovereign and commercial human spaceflight expeditions from around the world are set to increase in number, diversity, and scale in the coming decade. From new long-duration platforms in LEO to suborbital flights for tourists and scientists alike, to multiple nations’ ambitions to return to the lunar surface, the next generation of human spaceflight is busier and more complicated than ever. Our conversation will center around what’s next as humanity seeks to create a more permanent presence further out in our solar system. Yuri said it best: “Poyekhali!” – “off we go!”
The United States recently released an updated military strategy for the Arctic region that highlights the need to maintain, refine, and advance “military presence in the Arctic in support of our homeland defense, global military and power projection, and deterrence goals.” This strategy requires enhancing capabilities such as domain awareness, positioning and communications and could lead to an increase in investments in satellite communications and Earth observation technologies. This session will explore how commercial space companies can help meet these Arctic region objectives for both the U.S. and its allied nations.
There is no air traffic control in space and no legal international framework to manage space traffic. The world currently relies on commercially provided “space situational” or “space domain” awareness data to track satellites, dangerous debris, and military action in space. The responsible use of space requires more than just wanting it. This session will start with explaining the importance of broad collaboration on space awareness and then highlight key advancements in space awareness and tracking capabilities, including advanced AI and machine learning algorithms. Speakers will also address the ramp-up in anti-satellite testing and explain the danger these events create for the entire space economy.
Today, the cellular wireless and satellite industries are finding their interests more closely aligned than ever before. Both are driven by the need to find new customers in rural/remote regions and both are largely embracing the 3GPP standard for 5G. Most importantly, both sides have existing infrastructure that, when integrated, can effectively build out envisioned 5G networks at reduced costs. Add to that the news that Apple and T-Mobile signed two milestone agreements last year to integrate satellite connectivity into their service plans, and suddenly, we start asking ourselves - is this the start of a new era for two sub-sectors of the largest telco industry that once operated in silos? Can satellite and cellular industry business models align along with the technology? How can satellite companies win business from a telco? During this session, leaders from both industries will answer these questions and engage in a debate over the benefits and challenges of this new working relationship.
Join us for this fascinating discussion and debate on whether or not the commercial space industry is fully utilizing computing capabilities to enhance their service offerings.

Humans love to launch objects into space. From massive, exquisite satellites and observatories, to crewed spacecraft and human-rated destinations, to proliferated constellations of small spacecraft, our busiest orbits are more crowded than ever. In fact, most data-driven predictions anticipate up to 100,000 operational satellites in space by 2030. In order to ensure space remains a safe, operable environment, it is imperative that all operators commit to responsible behavior in orbit and beyond. Today, commercial and sovereign actors alike are taking steps to advance capabilities that contribute to Orbital Sustainability through SSA (Space Situational Awareness), ADR (Active Debris Remediation), and more. This panel will examine what’s next in space sustainability, with a focus on the perspectives of commercial companies tackling these big problems
This session will bring representatives from NASA, ESA, the Australian Space Agency and other organizations together to outline their future needs for satellite technology and services, as well as upcoming opportunities for commercial partnerships. The speakers will provide updates on major ongoing programs and upcoming awards, and identify future-facing solutions they’ll need from the commercial sector.
Satellite imagery and data has the power to drive global change and influence critical decision making and long-term strategic planning. To do this, space data companies must sculpt and translate the massive amounts of data they collect into stories that their customers respond to and understand. This session will explain how commercial satellites assist key decision-makers in tackling issues like climate change, disaster impact, and economic development and how the companies that operate these satellites identify new problems they can solve through technological innovation.
Connecting in-demand satellite service to cars, trains, transportation fleets, and other moving vehicles requires applicable “low profile” or “flat panel” antennas that are unobstructive and can securely mount while meeting clearance regulations. Historically, customers requiring these antennas have had to make performance trade-offs depending on the form factor. Are antenna developers at the point where they can offer these systems without sacrificing connectivity speed for the customer? Learn about the latest developments in conformal antennas that are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is achievable inside the limitations of physics.

Executive leaders from companies operating and building the largest small-satellite broadband constellations gather to share insights on the state of “unconnected” and “unserved” markets. Questions that will be addressed during this session include: Are rural broadband markets still as attractive now as they were when the economy was strong? What are the costs for the consumer? How fast will your service be in both optimal and worst conditions? Is your company diversifying its business by targeting b2b connectivity services? The panel will also address financing issues and returns on investment for building and replenishing constellation systems.
The $260 billion global market for industrial IoT (IIoT) is expected to swell to $1.1 trillion by 2028. That’s a clear sign that companies expect high value from this digital transformation of their operations. How can satellites help turn expectations into reality? This presentation will discuss how edge processing and smart devices deliver smarter data to the customer and how new technologies will enhance satellite IoT application development now and in the future. Speakers will also discuss how data edge processing is enabling partners, resellers, and manufacturers to develop more comprehensive solutions to improve logistics and bottom lines for their customers.
For the past decade, the success of Elon Musk’s SpaceX venture combined with the enthusiasm and financial backing of other celebrity entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson, has propelled a wave of capital investment into the space industry. Will this enthusiasm endure through a slower-than-expected economic recovery from COVID-19, a stock market crackdown on SPACs, more cautious government spending, and a potential future recession? Hear straight from investors on whether or not they can maintain the same volume of long-term space investments in a more challenging environment, as well as what they expect from new space companies as they mature through their “startup” phases.

The spike in global video streaming traffic has put a tremendous strain on networks around the world and there’s no sign of slowing traffic in the near future. This has created a surge in demand for satellite backhaul services and while that’s good news for satellite service providers, it comes with challenges. The backhaul customer’s expectations are very high and getting higher as applications become more complex. Satellites are also now expected to cover greater distances with backhaul services. Can today’s satellites meet the challenge and carry the burden, or even exceed those expectations and do more heavy lifting on the front end? This session will feature perspectives on satellite backhaul from the executives who lead today’s top providers and those who depend on backhaul to support their own businesses.
The demand for launching small satellites is obviously growing thanks to pipeline of constellations and multi-satellites waiting to reach orbit. This demand has sparked a vast expansion of the small satellite launchers industry, bringing several new entrants into the market. However, access to space isn’t getting any easier. Along with increased competition, smallsat launchers face limited access to launchpads, supply chain issues, increased risks of space congestion, and the need for a policy framework to help enable multiple mega-constellations. This session addresses those challenges and features a discussion between small satellite launch company executives on how they are keeping access to space viable for their smallsat customers.
In order for ground systems to keep up with the rapidly evolving space segment and prevent bottlenecking innovation, some argue that a new approach is needed to synchronize space and ground layers into a unified space network – one that takes full advantage of software virtualization, cloud computing architectures, and software-defined networking technologies. In this proposed approach, satellites and the ground operate in tandem as a real-time integrated system, driving coordinated change to services in minutes – not hours, days or weeks. Can this approach help satellites networks better align with terrestrial networks during a critical time when both are expected to converge? Learn about the benefits and challenges associated with unified software-defined networks, as well as virtualization and cloud native communications technologies.
Spectrum and orbital resources are critical to all space service providers, yet too little attention is paid to these issues until it is too late to influence them. This panel will focus on US spectrum/orbital issues affecting the satellite, new space, and launch communities, such as pending FCC rulemaking and licensing proceedings that will directly impact the future of the space industry in the US. Current open issues include preserving satellite spectrum (such as 12 GHz); sharing requirements for new LEO constellations; new spectrum allocations to support commercial space launches, and spectrum and rules for new space services such as rendezvous and proximity operations.
Many of today’s regional satellite operators have enjoyed tremendous success within the markets they dominate. They are deeply entrenched in government, broadcast, and local enterprise connectivity – a relationship built on long-standing contracts and a deep understanding of local needs. Their main competitors are global operators, who are deploying larger, complex, and more threatening multi-orbit constellations. The CEOs on this session will explain how they’ve prepared to compete with constellations in the long term and provide high-quality, low-cost services that evolve and remain attractive to their customers.
The “cell tower in space” concept has captured the imagination of the telecommunications industry. Not long ago, direct communication between cellphones and satellites were limited to specific hardware and low data-rate applications. Now, satellite companies have been able to test and achieve internet connections between Low-Earth Orbit satellites and regular consumer cell phones and are planning to roll out services through partnerships with major carriers. This session aims to clear up the mystery surrounding how these direct space-to-cell connections work. Speakers will outline how they expect these connections to perform in certain conditions indoors, outdoors, and in vehicles.

All tech industries are experiencing a post-COVID labor shortage, but the space industry is especially vulnerable to the negative impact of being short staffed. First, building satellites and rockets requires skillsets that are in very high demand and in short supply. Rising living costs makes it difficult for smaller space companies to maintain young professionals on staff who, statistically, are more likely to hop between companies in order to get the salary they require. Because timelines are tight in the space industry, the employees who do stay are working overtime, all of the time, which leads to burnout. Labor shortages are more than just an “HR” challenge for the space industry. They are now directly impacting companies’ bottom lines and ability to generate new revenue. During this session, you’ll learn how some space companies are taking new and effective approaches to talent recruitment, retention, and re-training in order to build a stable and happy workforce.
Leveraging Artificial Intelligence can achieve operational value and advantage in similar ways for both the largest business organizations in the world and government and military organizations. This session will present examples of successful AI, Machine Learning, and space technology deployments to support critical missions such as JADO/JADC2. Speakers will also address the risks and security threats associated with AI/ML-enhanced operations
The rise to meet the challenge of space congestion and debris combined with the attention that space sustainability issues are receiving from policy-makers in government has created a “green sector” within the satellite and space industries. This sector is made up of both start-ups and legacy companies that are investing in technologies such as in-orbit servicing, refueling, debris removal, and space situational awareness. But these companies can’t provide sustainability if they don’t have sustainable business models and shrewd public awareness and policy strategies. During this session, executives from these green sector companies will explain how they are generating the revenue and financing they need to achieve their greater mission and make a positive impact on the environment.
Radio frequency (RF) interference can create major issues for satellite network infrastructure on the ground, particularly now that the space environment is becoming more and more crowded. The lowering cost of space applications and systems as well as their increasing capabilities in the 5G era have led to strong rivalry for the total amount of spectrum that is now available. Is the satellite industry ready to combat interference with the same energy it uses to pursue growth? Join us for a discussion identifying the technologies and anti-jamming techniques that are currently at our disposal and which tools we’ll need to develop as space gets more crowded.
