Frode Malen, a payload manager at Telenor Satellite, admits it was a professor at his university who triggered his interest in space. This ultimately led to Malen applying for the Young Graduates Training Program (YGT) in the European Space Agency (ESA) after a presentation that was made by the Norwegian Space Center \u2014 although he very nearly didn\u2019t apply.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/marquee-test-akiaisur2rgicbmpehea\/LnJjxoS9WLgqHvUCrf7A_DSC_0639.JPG\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cShe [the speaker] kind of put me off a little bit by saying it was hard to get into, and a lot of people were applying. I decided to apply for one of those training positions in Holland, and I got the position, and I moved to Holland straight after I had received my Master\u2019s Degree. It was a great opportunity; it was a 12 month contract, and you are part of the team at ESA. You get a really good insight into the space industry in Europe. After I finished that, I found an opening at Telenor, which was very lucky,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/JRHcsHakSDiMFzhqOKL7_01_VS_030116_Cover_Image-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/JRHcsHakSDiMFzhqOKL7_01_VS_030116_Cover_Image-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/JRHcsHakSDiMFzhqOKL7_01_VS_030116_Cover_Image-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/JRHcsHakSDiMFzhqOKL7_01_VS_030116_Cover_Image-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/JRHcsHakSDiMFzhqOKL7_01_VS_030116_Cover_Image.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the March 2016 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>Malen believes one of the issues the industry could have is that there is a perception it is a difficult industry to get into, and this might be something that is putting off young people. \u201cI think the problem might be is that it is such a small field in Scandinavia, and even Europe as a whole, so you really have to have an international perspective on it. I think a lot of people have the perception that it is a very hard industry to get into,\u201d says Malen. \u201cThey don\u2019t realize it has so many different fields of expertize to make it work. Engineers are naturally attracted to the space industry, as it has been driving many things as regards to technology development. It is about communicating the possibilities to young engineers.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/marquee-test-akiaisur2rgicbmpehea\/5maTee5cRUWHO7YunNbY_MobileWorldCongress_VS_0116.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>To highlight the point, Malen admits that he really had no idea about ESA\u2019s YGT until he was coming to the end of doing his Masters. He says there needs to be information in the universities so people know about these opportunities. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be an astronaut or a rocket engineer. You can be in software, for example, or electronics or RF engineering, etc.,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next 20 years, Malen believes satellites will be more intertwined in the communications systems than they already are with the coming of a lot of High Throughput Satellites (HTS). He believes satellites will drive down the costs of people having connectivity. In 20 years, he believes a lot of the communications people do on the move will be going through satellites. It will be connecting that last few percent of the world. \u201cThe landscape will change, but I think it will be more exciting,\u201d he adds. <strong>VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2
