Constellations – Explore Space Network Technologies with Industry Leaders

186 – Integrated Space Systems, Multi-Orbit Terminals and the Future of SATCOM

17 min • 14 augusti 2024

In this episode, SES Space and Defense Vice President of Product Management Michael Geist discusses the evolving landscape of multi-orbit satellite capabilities. The integration of LEO, MEO and GEO orbits are poised to enhance connectivity and operational resilience. As governments and commercial entities increasingly embrace multi-orbit strategies, the industry builds a stronger foundation for a more adaptable and resilient future in satcom.

  • An increase in demand for MEO and LEO services has not resulted in a drop in demand for GEO.

  • CASR, or the Commercial Augmented Space Reserve, is a new way for commercial companies to support military satellites in orbit.

  • Geist predicts that the largest disruptor in MILSATCOM will be digitization, which will act as a gateway technology to automating many satellite networking functions.
