Excellent piece on a very important but limited resource: electromagnetic #spectrum. It is important, not only for satellite communications and other types of telecommunications but also for radar and navigation signals and all kinds wireless data transfers. breakingdefense.com/2025/01/not-...

"The value of space is what you bring back" 💯 Simple truth. Everything we do in space is for people on Earth. Everything!

So, on Jan 15 I'm speaking at the EARSC-ESPI event spectrum and Earth observation in Brussels. Scope: avoiding severe disruptions for remote sensing satellites by 2027 due to 6G deployment in the X-Band. Come if you are around and care about EO. earsc.org/2024/11/07/e...

Italy is reportedly negotiating a €1.5 billion deal with SpaceX to provide secure communications for its armed forces. europeanspaceflight.com/italy-set-to...

Europe commits €10.6B to develop IRIS2, a 290-satellite constellation for secure, resilient communications. europeanspaceflight.com/europe-alloc...

#VV25 marks the successful return to flight of #Vega-C and the launch of #Sentinel-1C, poised to finally fill the almost 3-year gap in #radar data, after the failure of Sentinel-1B. A great day for European space and even greater for the global #EO community relying on #Copernicus data.

Indeed a brilliant taxonomy of EO use cases, if not mistaken, expanding on @joemorrison.bsky.social 3Ms framework. Also, I hope Aravind join bsky soon.
