“ Euroconsult anticipates almost a quintupling insatellite demand between 2020 and 2029 withan average of 1,250 satellites to be launchedon a yearly basis. In comparison to the 260
yearly satellites launched in the previous
decade, this skyrocketing number cements thestructural changes occurring in the market andthe industry, not only in the number of satellites
but also in terms of satellite missions andoperators, both governmental and commercial.”-Euroconsult 2020 update to launch reportStartup Challenge

PASCO, Okinawa, JapanS-bandAbout PASCO
PASCO is taking innovative measures toward
becoming the world’s top geospatial information
provider. PASCO operates two 7.3m antenna withradome in the Northern and Southern parts ofJapan including Telemetry, Tracking, andCommand (TT&C) and direct reception for theEarth Observation satellites. Our Antenna
Systems can cover the entire Japan and Far Eastregion.

S-bandAbout Capricorn Space
Capricorn Space provides Ground Segment as aService to the satellite industry. Our goal is toprovide high-quality high-availability services fromour two Australian based sites: Australian Ground
Network – West (near Geraldton, WesternAustralia) and Australian Ground Network – East(near Ouyen, Victoria). Our ﬁrst site, AGN-W will beoperational in August 2019 and ideally suited forservicing LEO, MEO and GEO missions. AGN-E will
be operational in late 2020.

Azercosmos, Azerbaijan
S-bandAbout Azercosmos
Azercosmos’ Ground Station (AGS) is ideally
positioned at the unique location between Europe
and Asia. The Station consists of a 5.5m
S/X-Band antenna system and a network
infrastructure that makes it compact andversatile. IP connection to 2 backbone opticallines provides network resilience and redundancy.
Moreover, AGS has the ability to be agile in termsof system conﬁguration and modulation, based on
the technical requirements of the customers.
