This time around, as there are already thousands of satellites in orbit, there may also be some concrete data-driven discussions on near miss incidents and how to address the challenge of growing space traffic, especially in LEO,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>Pac\u00f4me R\u00e9villon, CEO of Euroconsult outlined his four main talking points for the show: \u201cFirst, the issue of NGSO [Non-Geostationary Orbit] constellations, from the start of services to their future expansion. Second, the rise in New Space financing, and the ability to deliver on expectations. Third, the impact of cloud and tech leaders Amazon, Google, and Microsoft on the space community, as there have been announcements of many new partnerships. Finally, I would add sovereignty and government programs, and the ability to leverage new commercial capabilities here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arun Kumar Sampathkumar, industry manager in Frost &amp; Sullivan\u2019s Aerospace &amp; Defense practice, also sees a number of new discussion points this year about small satellite missions and their ability to deliver new and cheaper products and services. With the Space Force now in place, Sampathkumar  expects to hear about its impact on dedicated military spending. He also expects the launch market to come under the microscope, particularly as more dedicated launch services come to market. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6da6f9d754b;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_6a6da6f9d754b = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6da6f9d754c').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6da6f9d754c'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>There will undoubtedly be plenty of talk about LEO at SATELLITE 2021, and whether it is the future of the industry. Sampathkumar says LEO can no longer be considered the future \u2014 it is the present. He believes it is already disrupting the space industry in many ways. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLEO is more complementary with GEO [Geostationary Orbit], [which has] capabilities that can be enhanced alongside LEO. While there could be overlaps where there are low price points, LEO will lead the way,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>R\u00e9villon sees different drivers and features combining as NGSO constellations take a large portion of future industry growth. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will actually be an enabler for part of that growth,\u201d R\u00e9villon says. \u201cThis being said, the installed base of user terminals using GEO systems, the low cost of user terminals, and ease of deployment, and in certain cases sovereignty considerations, should continue to make GEO systems the solution of choice for certain segments and countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/marquee-test-akiaisur2rgicbmpehea\/1YjrGnp8QAWzGFAObfUi_VS_ShowDaily%202021%20DGTL_2.jpg\"><figcaption>From left: Sampathkumar, Scatteia, and R\u00e9villon. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Change in the 2020s<\/h3>\n<p>One of the major questions of the current moment is how the big space and satellite companies will change over the 2020s. On this issue, Scatteia says, \u201cThis will be the make or break decade for the space industry, a lot of business models and ventures that have been on the drawing board in the last decade will be tested for commercial prospects and profitability, whether the LEO satcom operators Starlink, OneWeb, and Telesat, or space tourism service providers Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, lunar markets, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>R\u00e9villon says it will be more surprising if there isn\u2019t a shakeup in the coming decade with new investors and massive fundraising, sustained innovation, alongside the global transformation and digitization of the economy. \u201cHaving a fixed view on the winning model or on the leaders that should emerge is another story. It might well be a combination of newcomers and of historical leaders having completed a quite large transformation,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>He admits he industry is in that unique moment where innovation has crystallized into new solutions that should fully enter the market in the coming months. \u201cIt is obviously also a moment of unbalance between the recent revenue dynamics of the connectivity industry, and the promises of future growth. It can remind us of the concept of destructive innovation, where a challenging transition period has to be managed before a new growth phase,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<h3>Demand for Capacity<\/h3>\n<p>With so much capacity coming online over the next few years, one of the questions facing the industry is where the demand will come from, and who will buy all of this capacity. R\u00e9villon thinks there will be latent need for connectivity and this will grow over time.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cMassive additions in a short time period shall certainly create an imbalance between usage and demand. A certain latency exists when considering decision making, terminals rollout in various locations,\u201d he adds. \u201cWhen considering potential anchor tenants, governments and MNOs will have to take a lead role, together with a few large enterprise and large service companies. Direct service distribution to smaller clients shall represent another pillar nevertheless requiring some time to build scale.\u201d             <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6da6f9d7c77;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_6a6da6f9d7c77 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6da6f9d7c78').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6da6f9d7c78'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Scatteia points to the fact that the United States, European Union, India, and Bangladesh are poised to develop solutions to reduce the digital divide in rural areas, and additional LEO capacity may find a strong institutional customer base here. He also believes in addition to these, highly ambitious projects associated with the development of smart cities, connected cars, and the Internet of Things will also increase the demand for capacity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are several growth avenues where this capacity can be sold, however, this demand growth for satcom capacity is largely expected to grow at a linear rate, while the supply comes in exponentially. This imbalance is practically eroding the price points of capacity, and this is a major cause of concern,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, Scatteia says the satellite market is on a growth trajectory, with stronger mindshare going forward: \u201cSpace is more and more mainstream, and it is attracting a lot of interest and capital, so I would say the overall prospects look quite positive going forward.\u201d <strong>VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This Issue<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 405:  \/code\/wp-content\/themes\/ai-beehive\/template-parts\/content\/post-snippet.php --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"overflow-hidden w-100 me-3\">\n<p>\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bzgDqWhRfyqXfRK26ncl_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_1-300x225.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bzgDqWhRfyqXfRK26ncl_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bzgDqWhRfyqXfRK26ncl_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_1-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bzgDqWhRfyqXfRK26ncl_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/bzgDqWhRfyqXfRK26ncl_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"fs-4 w-100 line-clamp-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\tBack at SATELLITE: The Industry Emerges from Quarantine<br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<p><!-- .post-snippet --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-3 d-block d-md-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 408:  \/code\/wp-content\/themes\/ai-beehive\/template-parts\/content\/post-snippet.php --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"overflow-hidden w-100 me-3\">\n<p>\t<img width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/zWKCzV3REWI9JwQ3XY7g_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_3-300x225.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/zWKCzV3REWI9JwQ3XY7g_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/zWKCzV3REWI9JwQ3XY7g_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_3-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/zWKCzV3REWI9JwQ3XY7g_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_3-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/zWKCzV3REWI9JwQ3XY7g_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"fs-4 w-100 line-clamp-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\tGwynne Shotwell and the Mission Extension Vehicle: Satellite Executive and Technology of the Year Recap<br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<p><!-- .post-snippet --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 406:  \/code\/wp-content\/themes\/ai-beehive\/template-parts\/content\/post-snippet.php --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"overflow-hidden w-100 me-3\">\n<p>\t<img width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/M0Lci617SfmKB3WqbgCd_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_Jat-300x225.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/M0Lci617SfmKB3WqbgCd_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_Jat-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/M0Lci617SfmKB3WqbgCd_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_Jat-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/M0Lci617SfmKB3WqbgCd_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_Jat-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/M0Lci617SfmKB3WqbgCd_VS_ShowDaily20202120DGTL_Jat.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"fs-4 w-100 line-clamp-3\">\n<p>\t\t\t\tNew Inmarsat CCPO Jat Brainch Details the Company\u2019s Revamped Approach<br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<p><!-- .post-snippet --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-3 d-block d-md-none\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the satellite industry comes back together 18 months since the last SATELLITE show, the world has changed.
