Kymeta says it has demonstrated a new antenna that can simultaneously connect to multiple satellites using Ku and Ka bands.

SES plans to use Impulse Space’s Helios kick stage to take advantage of lower-cost, LEO launch vehicles and get its satellites quickly into higher orbits.

Satellite operator SES Global is expecting a 30% boost in capacity of its O3b mPower medium Earth orbit network as two more spacecraft come online in May.

Satellite communications company SES has invested an undisclosed amount in Lynk Global, a direct-to-device satellite constellation startup.

“SES today finds itself in a vastly more competitive environment than anything it has ever faced in its history,” Appaloosa said.

SES CEO Adel Al-Saleh says there are several contractual protections to ensure industry does not take a bath on the multi-billion-dollar project.

It is not quite Starlink, but Europe aims to have its own commercial satellite communication mega-ish constellation ready starting in 2030.

The EU and ESA signed a concession contract with a European industry consortium to deploy a roughly 292-satellite secure, sovereign communications system.

European satellite communications provider SES is to buy U.S.-based rival Intelsat in a bid to tackle competition from other low-Earth-orbit services.

Three months after confirming it was exploring a merger with Intelsat, Luxembourg-based satellite operator SES said June 22 that the talks are off.
