MAJOR SPACE PROJECTS
SES’s MEO network was augmented this year when its second-generation MEO system, O3b mPOWER became operational, joining its fleet of first-generation MEO system (O3b). With six 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, the cloud and how real-time missions of governments can be conducted securely.
In 2024, SES launched its most powerful GEO satellite, ASTRA 1P, at 19.2° East, continuing to deliver premium content to 119 million TV households across Western Europe.
The EAGLE-1 program, backed by the ESA, the European Commission, and seven ESA member states (with significant involvement from LSA), aims to demonstrate a complete QKD system in orbit by 2026. This fosters public-private collaboration to gain insights and advance quantum technology development, lastly paving the way for a fully operational QKD system.
