SSPI Director of Development and Innovation Louis Zacharilla said that the space and satellite industry has had an historic year and has been central to the history being made in 2020. As always, their industry has assisted many industries as well as the public sectors in their attempt to keep civil society healthy, communicating properly and focused on a better world ahead. They look forward to seeing who their Jury and SSPI’s UK Chapter selects as their stellar representatives for one of their more turbulent years.
