21 May will mark Novaspace’s first role as an ASCEND programming partner, with a half-day block in Washington focused on direct-to-device connectivity, cloud-based space infrastructure and AI-driven remote sensing.
Three sessions are meant to translate market shifts into business implications, with Novaspace saying ASCEND’s growth and its Washington location drove the consultancy’s decision to join the agenda.
More than $100 billion in cumulative D2D and IoT revenue by 2034 is Novaspace’s forecast for the fastest-growing topic, as satellite-to-phone services extend coverage beyond terrestrial networks that reach 96% of people but only 20% of landmass.
AWS Aerospace and Satellite’s Salem El Nimri and Vantor’s Michael Bergen are among speakers set to examine how cloud architectures and AI are changing mission operations, data handling and Earth-observation value chains.
150-plus staff across 10 offices back Novaspace’s push to position itself at ASCEND as a market-intelligence partner, following the merger of Euroconsult and SpaceTEC Partners.
With billions invested in orbital data centers, are we witnessing a space tech bubble or the dawn of a profitable new infrastructure?
As mega-constellations build a new data layer in orbit, who will govern digital sovereignty and security beyond national borders?
When will satellite direct-to-device service truly rival terrestrial networks for everyday speed and affordability for the average consumer?
