New space and mega constellations - emerging technologies in the satellite sector

In this IIL aviation lecture Meidad Pariente talked about the new space revolution and the era of mega constellations. He explained how the exponential growth in number of satellites expected to be launched, and also the challenges it presents.

In the past couple of years, we witnessed an exponential growth of number of satellites planned to be launched, most of these satellites will be launched as part of the constellations and mega constellations.

At the same time, we see private equity funds investing in new space ventures aiming to provide global services.

What is 'new space'? How does it differ from traditional space industry? Why constellations and why now?

What are the challenges of operating a large fleet of satellites from regulation, safety and security points of view?

By the end of the lecture members would have gained an insight into:

• What is new space
• Nanosatellites in a nutshell
• Mega-constellation - why now?
• Regulation challenges
• Cyber and hostile takeover
• GEO-LEO-Future
