    The Rise of HAPS, Competition for LEOs and Promise of Connectivity Everywhere

    While LEOs may be receiving most of the attention, an emerging technology is rising to the stratosphere in the form of High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS). HAPS have the potential to unlock the Earth's stratosphere and enhance global connectivity, offering significant opportunities across various industries, including telecommunications, high-resolution Earth observation, weather prediction, and modeling. Though both LEOs and HAPS are used for communication, surveillance, and data collection, they differ greatly in design, functionality, and use cases. To share insights into the similarities and differences between LEOs and HAPS, we are joined by Russ Van Der Werff, Vice President of the HAPS Alliance and VP of Stratospheric Solutions at Aerostar.

    Old Versus New, Plug and Play and Responsive Satellites

    In this episode, we dive into the rapidly evolving space and satellite industry, covering both military and commercial sectors. Our guest, a space industry veteran with over 40 years of experience in the U.S. Air Force as a senior space researcher and leader, shares insights on the challenges of building large, custom satellites in the past. Highlighting the need for rapid satellite configuration and launch capabilities, he explains that commercial space has many advantages, as it tends to innovate faster than the military and emphasizes the critical role of space in modern warfare, where conflicts are measured in hours, not days or months.

    Software, the Ground Truth and Why GSaaS Hasn’t Consolidated

    There have been many predictions about the consolidation of the GSaaS players, but it doesn’t seem to be as quickly as expected. In this podcast, we discuss what might be the why behind GSaaS providers continuing to hold steadfast for the most part. Listen to Brad Bode, CTO at ATLAS Space Operations, as for his take on the market, the changing applications for GSaaS beyond EO and why software is critical in ground systems.

    Small Satellites, Regulatory Implications and a View to the Future

    An estimated 26,104 smallsats will be launched between 2023-2032 according to Novaspace. With so much growth on the horizon, how will regulatory efforts keep pace? What role will regulations play in terms of protecting the spectrum? How can interference be avoided to ensure a level playing field for new and incumbent players? Constellations discussed the role of regulation in the rapidly growing and evolving small satellite world with the ITU.

    GSaaS, Smallsat Launches and Thinking About the Ground First

    In this episode, we focus on how the ground segment is evolving to support the emergence of small satellites in orbit. Join our guest, Ron Faith, CEO and President of RBC Signals, as he talks all things GSaaS and smallsats and explains why satellite operators and service providers need to start thinking of the ground segment first rather than last.
