It\u2019s always interesting to hear the perspective of satellite end users. <\/p>\n<p>Also, Adrienne Harebottle spoke to a number of satellite players in the Middle East about how they are making significant capital investment to realize ambitions to become larger players in the global space industry. <\/p>\n<p>Mark, myself, and Via Publisher Joe Milroy are all heading to Paris in September for World Space Business Week  \u2014 please say hello!
