MAJOR SPACE PROJECTS
To be replaced by: SES’s MEO network was augmented with its second-generation MEO system, O3b mPOWER, that became operational in 2024, joining its fleet of first-generation MEO system (O3b). With eight new MEO satellites having thousands of fully-shapeable, steerable beams, SES’s MEO network is redefining what connection means to remote communities and enterprises with the digital capabilities of 5G and cloud, and how real-time missions of governments can be conducted securely in any location. By 2027, the O3b mPOWER fleet will consist of 13 satellites, more than tripling its current capacity.
The EAGLE-1 programme, backed by the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Commission, and seven ESA member states (with significant involvement from LSA), aims to demonstrate a complete Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system, once in orbit. This fosters public-private collaboration to gain insights and advance quantum technology development, paving the way for future steps such as a global commercialised QKD system.
Since December 2024, SES leads the SpaceRISE consortium, in charge of the design, delivery, and operation of the European multi-orbit sovereign connectivity system IRIS2. Furthermore, SES will develop, procure, and operate 18 new MEO satellites as part of IRIS2, providing 100% pole-to-pole coverage with carrier-grade connectivity solutions.
