In addition to the hardware, we have to look at the software, and make sure we\u2019re adopting various standards. But that\u2019s not to say we can\u2019t serve friendly nations with projects and collaborate on various constellations.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Dan Goldberg, president and CEO of Telesat, called for an international regulatory framework to ensure space is available to everyone. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been responsibly using space for half a century now, and the environment is changing, we have more objects showing up in space. On the one hand that\u2019s great, but on the other hand, it creates significant risks that need to be properly managed,\u201d said Goldberg, adding that the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia has only underscored the importance of space. \u201cThere\u2019s no one authority that can regulate space. There needs to be rules of the road and we need to follow them. It\u2019s complicated, but for sure, there needs to be a beefed-up regulatory environment to make sure space is used responsibly.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Throughout the session, the theme of satellite access as a right \u2014 and not just a privilege \u2014 wove itself into multiple conversations, from internet availability in remote areas and areas of conflict, to the evolution of technology underpinning access. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can see the impact that access to space is having on the war in Ukraine,\u201d said Mark Dankberg, executive chairman and co-founder of Viasat, which is in the midst of a deal to acquire Inmarsat. \u201cOne of the things that Viasat has pivoted to is\u2026 probably our best business model is helping and augmenting countries around the world that want their own space programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Technological advancements will ultimately improve economies of scale \u2014 and panelists\u2019 organizations have made multiple strides over the last two years.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Schellpfeffer, vice president and CTO of Northrop Grumman\u2019s Space Sector, made reference to Northrop Grumman\u2019s collaboration with the U.S. government in critical missions for both the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s possible from our research, from our understanding of astrophysics? What can be provided to everybody from that system? That\u2019s part of the industry we\u2019re excited about,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bc2be6a2e4;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bc2be6a2e4 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bc2be6a2e5').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bc2be6a2e5'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Dankberg seemed in awe of the scope of changes that have transpired in respect to technology since the 1970s, when he recalled his first big project.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re really seeing technologically is evolutionary,\u201d said Dankberg. \u201cWhat\u2019s really changing now is it\u2019s not so much that the world\u2019s leading power in space is getting better, it\u2019s that the rest of the world is understanding the significance of space.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Holmes suggested that creating more efficient ground technology, such as smaller and cheaper terminals and equipment, is indicative of progress. In response, John Finney, founder and CEO of Isotropic Systems, cautioned that satellite equipment manufacturers need to be careful not to undervalue their assets. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe name of the game is to avoid a situation like fiber optics in the early nineties when there was an overbuild before demand could be met,\u201d said Finney. \u201cDifferentiation creates value and value is worth something. In the ground sector, we are all striving and driving to do different things that drive value and close business. But we don\u2019t like the word cheap, we like the word value.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Suggesting that the industry swap the word \u201ccheap\u201d for \u201caffordable,\u201d Ghataore stressed that growth is nevertheless contingent on the right pricing. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to connect the world, affordable ground terminals are key if you want to build proliferation,\u201d Ghataore said. \u201cAt the end of the day what are we serving? We\u2019re serving a consumer, an end user.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The interoperability of those terminals, and how ground systems evolve as automation is required is also important, said Schellpfeffer. \u201cAs cloud technology becomes more integrated with ground systems and space systems, that will drive innovation as well,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>Holmes also touched on the importance of cybersecurity now and in the future, as mitigating targeted cyberattacks becomes a bigger concern. <\/p>\n<p>In late February, Viasat experienced and began investigating a partial network outage in its European KA-SAT network, which it suspected was the result of a cyber event. The company said the network outage impacted internet service for its fixed broadband customers in Ukraine and elsewhere. Dankberg said Tuesday that the outage did not affect the satellite, but it took thousands of terminals offline, which must be replaced and refurbished. Viasat is working to restore service, he said.  <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bc2be6a6da;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6bc2be6a6da = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bc2be6a6db').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6bc2be6a6db'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very sensitive to customers that have been disrupted, who we inherited, and we\u2019re working fast to bring them on,\u201d said Dankberg. \u201cIn the overall scheme of things, there will be worse cyberattacks if we\u2019re not vigilant.

There will be places where optimizing missions will not always be in LEO.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Masterson also predicted a climate of more integration between LEO, Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO), Geostationary Orbit (GEO), fiber, and microwave, as the satellite industry navigates new opportunities for expanding access across the globe. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach element is part of the solution,\u201d Masterson said. \u201cEach has different roles to play.
