| | | SatNews | 03-21-2023 ViaSat-3 Americas is the first of three satellites in a new constellation that will provide high-quality, affordable global connectivity and coverage. It is the most powerful satellite platform Boeing has ever built, and it is based on the company's flight-proven 702 vehicle design. The satellite has some of the largest reflectors ever sent to space and will be significantly larger than most geostationary satellites. How do you think the innovations of the 702MP+ will impact the satellite manufacturing industry? |
| MIT Technology Review | Jonathan O'Callaghan | 03-23-2023 "US Federal Communications Commission approved the final aspects of Project Kuiper, Amazon’s effort to deliver high-speed internet access from space. In May, the company will launch test versions of the Kuiper communications satellites in an attempt to take on SpaceX’s own venture, Starlink, and tap into a market of perhaps hundreds of millions of prospective internet users." Who would you bet on to win the larger satellite internet market share between Amazon and SpaceX? |
| Space News | Debra Werner | 03-18-2023 Satellogic, the South American company known for high-resolution multispectral imagery, is selling Earth-observation satellites for $10 million or less. Satellogic’s new Space Systems product is designed to appeal to customers eager to establish or expand their space capabilities rather than simply buying imagery. What do you think the impact of this new product will be on the Earth-observation satellite market? |
| SatNews | 03-20-2023 “Project Kuiper is Amazon’s LEO satellite network with the mission to bridge the digital divide by providing fast, affordable broadband to communities unserved or underserved by traditional communications technologies.” How can Kuiper's new affordable satellite antenna make an impact in underserved communities around the world? |

| | | Digital Journal | 03-21-2023 The VSAT market is expected to reach 15.6 billion USD by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. The report covers pricing analysis, patent analysis, and technological advancements in depth. What do you think are the key factors driving the growth of the VSAT market? |
| Via Satellite | Lauren McCaffrey | 03-16-2023 Comtech Telecommunications successfully tested 5G connectivity over a satellite network in Greece, in collaboration with Cloud Signals, Hellas Sat, and a mobile network operator (MNO). This will allow for 5G connectivity in remote areas that are unconnected or underserved by traditional terrestrial and wireless infrastructures. What do you think is the potential of 5G in the maritime industry? Do you think it could revolutionize the way ships communicate and operate? |
| Smart Martime Network | Rob O'Dwyer | 03-24-2023 “Cobham Satcom reports that it has received Japanese Radio Law certification for use of the SAILOR 1000 XTR and SAILOR 600 XTR Ku VSAT antennas with the ST Engineering iDirect MDM3315 satellite modem, approving the combined systems for use in the provision of connectivity services in Japanese waters.” |

| 🛡️Satellite Cybersecurity News |
| Via Satellite | Mark Holmes | 03-23-2023 The Viasat hack, which happened in early 2022, is still a major concern for the cybersecurity industry. The hack exposed vulnerabilities in satellite networks, and experts are calling for more education and awareness of security issues in the satellite sector. How should satellite and technology companies in general implement more common sense security protocols? |
| Via Satellite | Mark Holmes | 03-22-2023 LinQuest and SpiderOak are partnering to develop and test OrbitSecure, a zero-trust cybersecurity solution for space mission systems. The partnership will provide an enhanced decentralized space resiliency capability to mesh proliferated Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) networks by reducing the attack surface and the ability of adversaries to jam, disrupt, modify, or contest space communications and satellite services. What do you think about the increasing use of zero-trust cybersecurity solutions in the space industry? |

| Via Satellite | Rachel Jewett | 03-20-2023 The FCC has proposed a new regulatory framework to allow satellite operators to provide direct satellite-to-cell service to consumers. This would allow consumers to use their cell phones to communicate with satellites, which could provide reliable service in areas where there is no terrestrial coverage. What are some potential benefits of satellite-to-cell service? |
| Space.com | Jeff Spry | 03-22-2023 The US Space Force has awarded a contract to Arkisys to build a platform in orbit that will allow for the assembly and resupply of satellites. This platform, called The Port, will be the first of its kind and could revolutionize the way satellites are built and maintained. What impact could in orbit satellite assembly make on the growth of the satellite industry? |
