It all seems very space age, being able to service a satellite like you would an automobile or a plane. I have been somewhat sceptical about it, given that we have been talking about satellite service for a long time . But, it seems that I and other doubters will be proven wrong over the next two years. In this edition, we look at a number of inter-connecting issues related to satellite servicing. We also look at space debris and the challenges of building satellites cheaper and faster to more demanding customers.<\/p>\n<p>Our cover story sees us talk to one of the United States\u2019 major airlines and pioneers in terms of In Flight Connectivity (IFC). We talk to Mariya Stoyanova, JetBlue\u2019s head of product development, about the airline\u2019s plans to develop its connectivity roadmap \u2014 and what it is looking for from the satellite industry to enable these ambitious plans. JetBlue is definitely not the biggest airline in North America, but in terms of connectivity, it is one of the most talked about \u2014 perhaps even a trendsetter. We hope you hear enjoying from a key end user about how they see satellite technology.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/dDAHNAAuREqjj7OszIwO_VS_030119_Cover_DGTL-1-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/dDAHNAAuREqjj7OszIwO_VS_030119_Cover_DGTL-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/dDAHNAAuREqjj7OszIwO_VS_030119_Cover_DGTL-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/dDAHNAAuREqjj7OszIwO_VS_030119_Cover_DGTL-1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/dDAHNAAuREqjj7OszIwO_VS_030119_Cover_DGTL-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the March 2019 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>As most of you know, our SATELLITE show is in May this year (not March,) so we should have some nice weather in Washington, D.C.
