The global Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite industry is rapidly expanding, with operators like SpaceX’s Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb already serving Africa. As more companies prepare to enter the market, these satellites offer high-performance, low-cost connectivity. However, their standard services often don’t meet the specific needs of niche markets, such as Africa’s enterprise sector.

Viasat is partnering with Telespazio and the European Space Agency (ESA) to provide secure satellite connectivity for future lunar missions. As part of the Moonlight program, Viasat will design and develop the communication network for lunar landers, rovers, and orbiters, as well as the Earth and lunar surface infrastructure.

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are revolutionizing the way institutions think about connectivity. Unlike traditional geostationary satellites, which orbit at around 36,000 km above Earth, LEO satellites operate at altitudes of about 1,000 km above the earth. This proximity enables them to deliver low-latency, high-speed internet.
