70,000 Satellites, One Big Bottleneck: The Industry Wakes Up to the Data Trap

February 12, 2026 / Business & Finance

Dispatch from SmallSat Symposium. Novaspace Partner Nathan De Ruiter presented staggering figures. Opening the floor with an exclusive forecast, he predicted that 70,000 small satellites launching over the next decade will represent an investment of roughly $134 billion. Yet the mechanism for getting those satellites’ data back to Earth remains archaic, fragmented, and dangerously slow. We have entered the era of the Data Trap, where terabytes of potential insight perish in orbit because the physical pipe to the ground is too narrow.

SES Executive Confirms End of the 15-Year Satellite Era

February 12, 2026 / Business & Finance

Dispatch from SmallSat Symposium. Taking the stage, Dr. Bryan Benedict, Senior Director of Innovation at SES Space & Defense, dismantled rather than defended the legacy model. He described the merger between satellite giants SES and Intelsat that created a fleet of over 100 operational spacecraft not as a strategic power play but as a tactic necessary for survival.

D2D’s Hype Hangover: The Physics Finally Bite Back

February 10, 2026 / Business & Finance

Dispatch from SmallSat Symposium. The free drinks at SmallSat Symposium usually signal a celebration, but this year they feel more like a necessity. If 2024 was the year of the press release, early 2026 is the year of the hangover. Breathless promises of ubiquitous, high-speed connectivity from space have collided with a formidable wall of physics, finance, and federal regulation.

Silicon Valley to Aerospace: Code is the New Steel

February 10, 2026 / Business & Finance

Dispatch from SmallSat Symposium. Rockets still make a lot of noise, but the revolution visible at the SmallSat Symposium moves silently, digitally, and at the speed of code. For decades “metal benders”—those massive aerospace conglomerates that first weld titanium and then figure out the flight computer—have defined the space industry. That era is officially obsolete.
