BETTER SATELLITE WORLD
SATELLITE 2025: What Can We Look Forward To This March?
The annual SATELLITE conference in Washington, D.C. is the gravitational pull of the commercial space & satellite industry. Like every other conference, media outlet and association that gathers the global community, SATELLITE has undergone changes over the past five years that reflect the growth and wonderfully chaotic direction of the space & satellite industry. Jeffrey Hill, Executive Editor of Via Satellite and Executive Chairman of SATELLITE 2025, has taken a breather from conference planning to talk to SSPI’s Lou Zacharilla about what we can expect this March in Washington, D.C. SATELLITE has adapted to many changes in conference structure and will be bringing exciting new features to the conference this year, such as the “Happy Hour Rocket Show” on the Exhibition floor.

The Space Business is...
In The Space Business is... – the podcast series of The Space Business is Everywhere campaign – we take a look at the way the commercial space industry has spread itself to parts of the world where space and satellites were once only read about or dreamed of. Each episode will focus on a specific location and features an innovator who is shaping - and reshaping - the industry. In the second episode, we hear from Jane Egerton-Idehen, CEO of Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NIGCOMSAT).

2025: Mojo or No-Go in Commercial Space?
In this Better Satellite World podcast, we take a more comprehensive look at the industry’s need to get its financial mojo back and to make its case to the larger media and the world that it is more than Musk, and as integral to human life and society as anything can be. We look at the ethics behind the great change coming for space and ask – in our typical way – whether DoorDash is more important than the Dart mission! you’ll hear from Jonathan Baliff, CFO, Redwire Space, Tim Fernholz, Senior Space Writer, Payload, Michael Thate, Research Scholar for Responsible Tech, Innovation and Policy, Princeton University and Rick Tumlinson, Founder and Chairman, SpaceFund.
