Every year, I promise that I’ll pay more Editor - Amy Saunders attention to the passing months, and yet every year, I’m surprised that it’s December already and we’re gearing up for the holidays. Maybe next year I’ll manage to keep a closer eye on the calendar! It’s been an interesting year for the space sector. Several of the planned small satellite constellations have begun to be launched in earnest - however, LeoSat looks set to be the sector’s first casualty, having ceased operations in November; 5G has hit certain parts of the world, including the UK; ultra-high frequency bands like V-band are rapidly coming into action; NASA has activated the first Deep Space Atomic Clock; space tourism is edging closer to reality, with space planes such as Virgin Orbit’s making major headway; in the Brexit-turmoil that is the UK, new deals are urgently being made to enable us to stay a major player in the space sector, and a whopping three new spaceports in Scotland and Cornwall are in the planning stages; NASA is investigating the world’s first space crime; Russia has sent a humanoid robot to the ISS. In terms of markets, we’re happy to see DTH and OTT continuing to grow - complementing one another nicely, while mobile satellite services, particularly for maritime and aviation, are booming.
