HawkEye 360 announced that its Cluster 3 satellites designed to geolocate radio frequency signals and deliver RF geospatial intelligence data to government and commercial customers have arrived at the Cape Canaveral launch site in Florida in preparation for its upcoming launch aboard Spaceflight’s SXRS-5 mission. Cluster 3 consists of three satellites scheduled for liftoff as […] More
Isotropic Systems and SES Government Solutions have completed the first of a two-phase trial program meant to assess the capability of a multibeam antenna to provide warfighters access to real-time data through multiple military and commercial satellites. Isotropic and SES GS conducted the initial phase of the trials with the U.S. Air Force and the […] More
The Federal Communications Commission approved SpaceX’s request for modification of its license for its Starlink satellite constellation. The modified license will allow SpaceX to move the operational altitude for its 2,814 satellites to the range of 540 to 570 kilometers, reduce the number of satellites in the constellation from 4,409 to 4,408 and change the minimum earth station elevation angle for gateway and user beams.
HawkEye 360 announced that its Cluster 2 satellites meant to geolocate radio frequency signals and deliver RF geospatial intelligence data to customers have completed functional testing and reached initial operating capability status. Cluster 2 is composed of three satellites that launched in January aboard a SpaceX-built Falcon 9 rocket and features GNSS antenna to detect GPS interference and increased computing capabilities capabilities for onboard data processing.
SpaceX has filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission seeking a blanket license to operate Earth Stations in Motion equipment that will communicate with its Starlink satellite constellation, SpaceNews reported Monday. “Granting this application would serve the public interest by authorizing a new class of ground-based components for SpaceX's satellite system that will expand the range of broadband capabilities available to moving vehicles throughout the United States and to moving vessels and aircraft worldwide,“ the regulatory filing reads.
Isotropic Systems has raised over $40 million in a round of funding led by telecommunications company SES and will use the capital to further develop its multibeam antenna. Boeing's HorizonX Global Ventures, Firmament Ventures, Space Angels, Promus Ventures' Orbital Ventures fund and the U.K. government's Future Fund participated in the funding round.
OneWeb has now raised $1.4B in total funding after it received additional investments from Hughes Network Systems and SoftBank Group. The additional funding provides OneWeb with needed capital to come up with a constellation of 648 satellites in low-Earth orbit by the end of 2022 to deliver broadband connectivity and low-latency communication services to customers worldwide.
Dave Bettinger, a three-decade satellite communications industry veteran, has been named CEO of Electro Optic Systems' SpaceLink subsidiary. He will oversee the design, operations and delivery of SpaceLink's medium Earth orbit satellite relay system.
Gwynne Shotwell, president and chief operating officer of SpaceX and a three-time Wash100 awardee, discussed in a video interview posted Monday about the company's partnership with Microsoft to bring the Starlink satellite connectivity to the latter's Azure cloud computing platform.
Bill Gattle, president of space systems at L3Harris Technologies, said the Space Development Agency's procurement of communications and missile warning satellites in mass quantities reflects a “fundamental transformation“ in how the Department of Defense buys space platforms, SpaceNews reported Tuesday.
