In fact, one of the top pieces of news coming out of World Satellite Business Week was Eutelsat signing with Japanese launcher Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, diversifying its launch providers. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FkK9ZZU0SlGKLVzNnroq_VS_100124_DGTL_Cover-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FkK9ZZU0SlGKLVzNnroq_VS_100124_DGTL_Cover-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FkK9ZZU0SlGKLVzNnroq_VS_100124_DGTL_Cover-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FkK9ZZU0SlGKLVzNnroq_VS_100124_DGTL_Cover-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/FkK9ZZU0SlGKLVzNnroq_VS_100124_DGTL_Cover.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the October 2024 Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>In this edition, Tereza Pultarova gives a timely update on the global launch market, which has been marked by scarcity of providers and SpaceX domination in recent years. The recent Falcon 9 groundings show just how vulnerable access to space is when the Western world is largely reliant on one company. <\/p>\n<p>This edition goes live soon after World Space Business Week. While I didn\u2019t make the trip to Paris this year, I enjoyed reading dispatches from my colleagues and other journalists about the state of the satellite industry. <\/p>\n<p>For the October cover story, Mark Holmes and I interviewed Intelsat CEO David Wajsgras in one of his first interviews about the acquisition deal with SES. Wajsgras was very open with us and it was an interesting conversation about how the companies are confident a combined SES\/Intelsat can compete with Starlink and Kuiper with multi-orbit service and terminals. Coming off of a big announcement with SoftBank, this was a great time to catch up with Wajsgras. <\/p>\n<p>Also in this edition, Marisa Torrieri spoke with investors about their view on the space sustainability market and the potential for return on investment. And Adrienne Harebottle catches up on multi-orbit terminal developments. While satellite constellations grab headlines, it is the user terminals that truly unlock the capabilities for customers. <\/p>\n<p>Hope everyone is doing well as we head into fall. I hope to see you at our CyberSat event in Reston, Virginia, in November! <\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This Issue<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 404520:
