SES Space & Defense

What an exciting week at Satellite! 🚀 The past four days have been packed with announcements, live demos, and great discussions across the industry. We kicked things off on Monday afternoon with a series of live demonstrations 👇: 🔹 SIMON (Secure Integrated Multi-Orbit Networking) – an intelligent software platform that automatically routes traffic across LEO, MEO, and GEO in real time, enabling resilient, always-on connectivity. Demonstrated using the ALL.SPACE Hydra 4 terminal and Comtech Telecommunications Corp. 5650B modem. 🔹 O3b mPOWER Sovereign – showcasing how to implement a private MEO satellite network while maintaining full control, with flexibility across gateways, modems, and technologies such as protected waveforms. Demonstrated with a Tampa Microwave 1.3m antenna and Comtech Telecommunications Corp. 5650B modem. 🔹 Manpack Multi-Orbit Solution – a lightweight, rucksack-portable system delivering multi-orbit connectivity with SD-WAN capability. Demonstrated using Paradigm Ragno GEO and Starshield LEO terminals with SD-WAN bonding. The momentum continued throughout the week with SES'ers taking the stage 👇: ◾ Alan Campbell on Agentic AI for Satellite Communications ◾ Michael Geist on Terabit Optics, Cloud Agility, Digitization, and AI: The Modernization Roadmap for Satellite Networks We also announced our partnership with K2 Space Corporation to deploy the next generation of MEO satellites—creating meoSphere with 28 additional high-powered satellites.

Back from the 9th edition of the #GOVSATCOM Conference in #Luxembourg, a convening of global leaders across #defense and #space focused on strengthening secure, resilient communications. A clear message resonated throughout the day: Luxembourg as a country may be small in size, but its impact on the global space ecosystem is significant, driven by #innovation, collaboration, and #leadership. That influence was reflected in the distinguished guests in attendance, including His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg; EU Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius; Luxembourg Minister of Defence Yuriko Backes; Stacy Cummings of the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA); and many other respected leaders shaping the future of secure #SATCOM. We were proud to contribute to the dialogue as fellow SES colleagues took the stage. Adel Al-Saleh and Patrick Biewer delivered insightful keynotes, and Michael Geist led a dynamic panel discussion that advanced critical conversations on #GEOINT and achieved speed to mission. At SES Space & Defense, we remain committed to supporting #government missions with integrated #satellite solutions across every mission, landscape, and orbit to deliver the flexibility, agility, and security required today and beyond.    #YourSpacePartner #GOVSATCOM2026 #Defence GovSat 📸 Pictures by Raoul Somers
