I am delighted to see major progress on the development of the HummingSat product line. A critical milestone with our partners at Swissto12 SA, which showcases a successful European Space Agency Partnership Project and European collaboration in commercial satcoms.

I am proud to have welcomed all attendees to ARTES Final Presentation Days 2024. Europe is at a crossroad, and industry is key to tackling the challenges of the satcom market. I wish all of you a successful event over the coming days and welcome you to connect with European Space Agency for

I am thrilled to see the exceptional commitment from Industry and ESA Member States on ESA's Moonlight programme. Moonlight aims to enable smarter and safer international lunar exploration, positioning European industry as a provider of lunar services, allowing missions to

Today at #IAC2024, @esatelecoms kickstarted two very important projects for improving Europe's crisis management under our Civil Security from Space programme. Ciseres, led by @ElecnorDeimos, will enhance natural disaster detection and response by using on-board satellite image

It was an honour to sign the contract for the HydRON Element #1 with Kepler Communications. Optical satellite communications will serve as the backbone of a data-hungry world, where petabytes of data need to be moved quickly and reliably between users in orbit and on the ground. The

Space is critical infrastructure, and there is a fundamental need for secure communications and space connectivity in our daily lives. Secure communications is a priority for us at ESA, where we're looking at securing those networks and the data that moves through them.

I am thrilled to see the 5G-EMERGE partnership project expand to 34 companies across eight of ESA's Member States – each bringing unique expertise in their contribution to advanced 5G and the future of 6G connectivity. Together, with our partners, we can create high-quality,

"On its own, satellites aren't everything. It's the fusion with ground networks that's important." A pleasure to sit on the "Space for Safe and Resilient Operations" panel at the ESA Space Solutions UK Conference at Harwell Campus. We discussed how satellite connectivity ensures

We need to reinvent ourselves to ensure a thriving telecom sector. At RAL Space's Appleton Conference, I presented European Space Agency's response to Europe's connectivity needs – including increasing partnership with the UK Space Agency. Together, reinventing the sector for real-world impact

Working with our partners at EU Defence and Space and SpaceRISE, we are proud to support the development, qualification and in-orbit validation of the next EU flagship programme for space. Through ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications, we will leverage decades of experience in developing and implementing space

Thank you to the Thales Alenia Space team for their warm hospitality, partnership and for welcoming us to their facility. On behalf of ESA, we look forward to further collaboration!

I look forward to meeting #satcom experts and enthusiasts at SPACETalks!

Delighted to present European Space Agency's 2025 ambitions at Finland's Winter Satellite Workshop, celebrating their 30th year as an ESA Member State. Finland's innovation culture has driven success in telecoms, aviation, maritime transport, forestry & security. With an estimated 1.1 million

Over the past five years, there has been a significant increase in cyberattacks, emphasising the growing risks for sectors such as energy grids, emergency responders, and other critical infrastructure dependent on satellite connectivity, Estonia's proven leadership in

SpainSat NG I represents the next generation of satellite communications in Europe. My team and I at ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications are proud to have integrated the Pacis 3 payload – underscoring the strength of European collaboration in advancing space technology.
