The space industry keeps launching new satellites but struggles to find new users. This article explores why downstream bottlenecks—in procurement, usability, and market education—pose a greater challenge than technology itself, and how brokers and B2B marketplaces can finally unlock scalable commercial growth.

Military satellites are no longer just tools in orbit—they’re central to defense strategy. Resilience, rapid deployment, and operational integration define the new era. Explore how adaptive satellites, commercial partnerships, and emerging technologies are reshaping the battlefield in space.

Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) has signed an agreement with LatConnect 60 to provide Integrated Mission Services for LC60’s SWIRSAT Earth Observation constellation. Announced at IAC 2025 in Sydney, the partnership—backed by the Australian Space Agency and WA Government—highlights Western Australia’s growing role in space innovation.

Recent forums from IBC to WSBW and SDSS highlight a strategic inflection in space and defense. Commercial satcom growth, dual-use EO, SSA, and hybrid platforms are redefining opportunities, while interoperability, sovereignty, and rapid deployment challenges demand pragmatic, defense-aligned innovation. The next winners will integrate end-user feedback, resilience, and agile civil-defense strategies.

Space Norway and SSTL have partnered to develop a new satellite programme delivering high-resolution, wide-swath radar imaging for maritime surveillance. The first spacecraft, set for 2027, will provide low-latency detection and classification of vessels, enhanced by onboard AIS technology. The collaboration aims to expand advanced monitoring services to global government and commercial customers.

At SDSS and WSBW 2025 in Paris spotlighted a maturing space industry where ambition now meets accountability. Direct-to-Device, data-driven insights, supply chain resilience, and sustainability emerged as defining themes. The message is clear: success in space will hinge on execution, integration, and delivering real-world value, not just technical potential.
