UPCOMING EVENTS & PROGRAMS
36th Space Symposium
The premier event for global space professionals
Space Symposium attendees consistently represent all sectors of the space community from multiple spacefaring nations: space agencies; commercial space businesses and associated subcontractors; military, national security and intelligence organizations; cyber security organizations; federal and state government agencies and organizations; research and development facilities; think tanks; educational institutions; space entrepreneurs and private space travel providers; businesses engaged in adapting, manufacturing or selling space technologies for commercial use; and media that inspire and educate the general public about space.
For the first time in our nearly 40 years of gathering the world’s space community, the annual Space Symposium set for August 23-26, 2021, at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado, will be a hybrid in-person/virtual program.
Registrants for the hybrid program will be able to see, hear and engage with the presentations, panels, awards and programming that will unfold at this year’s program. Building connections and understanding have always been the dividends of attending Space Symposium, and those are rewards that Space Foundation wants to extend beyond those participants who join us in-person in Colorado Springs.

In-Flight Connectivity
Satcom – Beyond 2020 Turbulence
No surprises that the Aeronautical Satcom Market or In-flight Connectivity (IFC) Market was one of the worst-hit Satcom segment in 2020. Grounded aircrafts generating near-zero IFC revenues, Airlines’ challenging finances & bankruptcies pausing the IFC market progression, and OEMs ramping down their production rates leading to a drop in line-fit equipment demand, were some of the keys trends that resulted in a turbulent situation for the entire IFC market value chain. It did result in bankruptcies of major service providers and industry consolidation. However, the segment displayed strong fundamentals of increased bandwidth usage per aircraft, as the Aviation Industry continued on a recovery path during Q4 2020 and beyond.
This session will discuss, with the industry experts, the impact of key 2020 global events on the IFC market in the short, mid, and long terms and strategic imperative for key stakeholders in the value chain.
Panelists:
Vivek Prasad, Senior Analyst, NSR
David Coiley, Vice President, Asia Pacific, Inmarsat Aviation
Nick Silvester, Regional Sales Director, Middle East & Africa , Gogo
Jags Burhm, SVP, Aeromobility , Eutelsat
Mike Pigott, EVP Connectivity, Global Eagle Entertainment
