Exploring Satellites And Space Technology At ISC 2013 Summit

Over the period of a year, it is estimated that companies internationally launch approximately two dozen communications satellites.

In recent news, the ISRO are planning to launch two new telecommunications satellites and Inmarsat are undergoing plans to launch a new satellite constellation in the next year.

In the next 8-10 years, it is predicted that satellites will have a global worth of $196 Billion worldwide.

The International Space Commerce 2013 Summit will draw focus to 4 main areas of space commerce including:

• Legalities, Policies and Finance – issues around the governance of commercial activity in space
• Satellites & Infrastructure – short term ROI opportunities for businesses to use space satellites
• Space Technologies – facilitating capacities, applications, payloads and data transmission
• Space Tourism – long term ROI prospects that businesses can be involved in

Here’s a break-down of two featured sections of the program:
