What you’ll gain from attending:
The GovMilSpace Digital Series is built for government and military professionals seeking insights without travel, cost, or time away from critical work. Engage virtually in conversations that support planning, acquisition, and strategy.
What you’ll gain from attending:
Multi-orbit architectures involving satellites in LEO, MEO, and GEO create multiple pathways for data, eliminating single points of weakness that can be targeted by hostile actors. This reduces the risk of losing satellite communications, situational awareness, and command and control. However, the multi-orbit system has to deliver optimized performance over multiple networks in a seamless manner. In this discussion, we will learn about government and military requirements for multi-orbit satellite systems, how today’s satellite services are meeting those requirements, and what will be expected of these systems in the future.
