We announce our nominees for Satellite Executive of the Year (SEOTY) and Satellite Technology of the Year (STOTY) awards. It willl be tough to pick winners given the strength of the nominations this year.<\/p>\n<p>It is also the time of year where we reveal our latest 10 Hottest Companies in Satellite. This is always one of the most eagerly awaited features and we are excited to bring this feature back for the sixth year. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/EXP1HseVRIeSlBCE0uxw_VS_030124_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\/EXP1HseVRIeSlBCE0uxw_VS_030124_DGTL_Cover-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/EXP1HseVRIeSlBCE0uxw_VS_030124_DGTL_Cover-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/EXP1HseVRIeSlBCE0uxw_VS_030124_DGTL_Cover-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/EXP1HseVRIeSlBCE0uxw_VS_030124_DGTL_Cover.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the March 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>If that wasn\u2019t enough, my colleague Rachel Jewett also brings back her fantastic \u2018Celebrating Women in Satellite\u2019 feature where we hear about many inspiring women and the difference they are making to our community. It features some familiar names, but also maybe some names that are maybe not so familiar. This feature shows the breadth of talent in the industry and reading these stories is truly inspiring. <\/p>\n<p>Our final feature for this edition is written by Tereza Pultarova who we are delighted to have back writing for us again. In this feature, Tereza looks at the financing\/funding outlook for the space industry. This is an interesting feature, even if a little sobering at times, given the state of the finance markets. <\/p>\n<p>The <em class=\"Annotation -emphasis\">Via Satellite<\/em> team is also excited to bring you some great sessions at SATELLITE \u2014 free to attend in the exhibit hall at the <em class=\"Annotation -emphasis\">Via Satellite<\/em> theater. We have a telco panel with the likes of T-Mobile, Telstra, Orange, Space Compass (an NTT joint venture), and an air and sea panel with the likes of Air Canada, Delta, Carnival Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Tototheo Maritime. These sessions are on Wednesday, March 20 in the Via Satellite theater. We also have a great AI and Cyber panel on the Thursday moderated by our good friend Bob Gourley, as well as a keynote with Tom Mueller from Impulse Space. Please join us. <\/p>\n<p>SATELLITE is an exciting moment for the whole team at Via. We looking forward to catching up with you in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This Issue<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 404796:
