New article from Analysys Mason: https://lnkd.in/e4iTmTNH To ensure sustainability, civil space entities will need to explore multiple revenue streams, including diversifying beyond government contracts. Going forward, players in the civil space sector will need to showcase value propositions and efficient spending plans in order to make up for significant budgetary cuts throughout the sector. Commercial players that want to capture and retain revenue will also need to demonstrate their value, especially as budgets for the 2025 fiscal year are released. #space #government #B2G #sustainability #budget

Curious about the standardization of network APIs? Read now:  https://lnkd.in/eTig29_K The standardization of network APIs is putting network control directly into the hands of the satellite customer. APIs offer greater transparency and control for end users—and they also allow telcos and other network operators to give the end user network access, control, and configuration capabilities. APIs are quickly becoming big business for telecom companies that can profit every time an API “call” occurs. #telco #telecom #satellite #satcom #API

A new report asserts that cyberattacks are the most likely avenue for bad actors to leverage when looking to degrade and disrupt space assets. This #ConstellationsArticle explores the various ways that industry is responding to the increasingly pervasive threats to space systems, including: - Space ISAC’s wargaming table top exercises (TTX) called Hera’s Revenge, which is meant to simulate a cyber operations environment as it undergoes a cyberattack. - Standardizing zero-trust architectures (ZTA) across the space segment. Ground segments are usually more secure than their space counterparts, which has led to industry leaders exploring end-to-end Zero Trust Architecture across all space vehicles.

For the last year, Kratos and GE Aerospace have been working together under a joint development agreement on a small affordable engine. Today, at the Farnborough Air Show, Kratos CEO Eric DeMarco and Amy Gowder, President and CEO, Defense & Systems at GE Aerospace, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to partner on the continued development and production of small affordable jet engines that could potentially power unmanned aerial systems (UAS), collaborative combat aircraft (CCA), and similar applications.   The engine was initially developed and ground tested by Kratos. Under an existing joint agreement, GE Aerospace and Kratos completed additional development efforts and are now conducting tests on the engine, which is performing well. The team plans to continue development on the current engine.    Each company brings unique expertise to the partnership. Kratos has more than 20 years of experience in the development and production of small affordable jet engines for UAS, drones, and missiles. GE Aerospace has more than 100 years of experience in the development and scaling up of high-volume production for jet engine programs for a seamless transition from development to production. https://lnkd.in/d_xZSVrg

Last month, the Satellite Industry Association (SIA) released its annual State of the Satellite Industry Report on the satellite industry’s economic performance. According to the report, 2023 was a banner year for satellite services, even while some are concerned that EO is floundering. While recent layoffs in the EO industry have many concerned about its long-term health and stability, demand from new industries and revolutionary technologies have EO poised for rapid growth. In this recent article from #Constellations, explore more about the potential of the EO industry in the coming years. https://lnkd.in/e7Z38DZ6 #EO #satellite #space
