How can we create a safer, more resilient airspace? SkeyDrone and DronePort Sint-Truiden, both ventures of Brussels Airport Company, have launched Belgium’s first permanent national Drone Detection & Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Testing and Expertise Centre. This new hub enables the testing, validation, and integration of innovative drone detection and counter-drone solutions bringing together industry, government and defence to shape the future of safe airspace. ✅ droneport.eu Sint-Truiden provides the unique infrastructure and real-world test environment. ✅ SkeyDrone brings its expertise as operator of Belgium’s national detection network and U-space (Unmanned Aircraft System traffic management) services. Together, we are accelerating innovation and positioning Belgium as a European leader in drone security. #wearebrusselsairport

▶️ LEO2VLEO is officially underway! ▶️ This week, the ISISPACE Group team travelled to Brussels to the headquarters of the European Defence Agency for the kick-off of the LEO2VLEO project, co-funded by the Ministerie van Defensie and the Austrian Armed Forces. It was a significant opportunity to meet all the partners of the consortium: Dawn Aerospace, Fantana GmbH, ASA AstroSysteme Austria, Technische Universität Graz, Beyond Gravity, and JOANNEUM RESEARCH. Together, we laid the groundwork for a successful project. As the consortium leader, ISISPACE plays a critical role in designing, developing, building, launching, and operating this constellation of three 16U satellites. #ISISPACE #SmallSat #SmallSats #EarthObservation #EO #LEO2VLEO

We are proud to announce our new high-performance, cost-effective Low Earth Orbit (LEO)-Ku terminal system with Intellian Technologies, which is designed to connect to Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO network.    The new terminal system features Intellian’s LEO-Ku aviation antenna, integrating the modem and controller without the need for a radome. It incorporates Electronically Steered Array (ESA) technology, offering significant cost savings while maintaining performance, weight, and installation ease.   Panasonic Avionics will utilize Intellian’s aviation antenna to offer airlines a faster, more reliable, and future-ready connectivity experience, reaching speeds of up to 195 Mbps with latency under 100 milliseconds.    John Wade, Vice President of Connectivity at Panasonic Avionics, said: “Our new terminal system is a game-changer for airlines. It blends best-in-class performance with unmatched resiliency and the reliability our customers expect…it also will deliver the peace of mind our airline customers expect from a connectivity solution that is cost-effective, resilient and eliminates ‘dark flights’.” Read the announcement here: https://bit.ly/47yFOi9   #InFlightConnectivity #AviationInnovation #PanasonicAvionics #LEO #Connectivity #Latency

ReOrbit has just secured Europe’s largest ever SpaceTech Series A: a €45m raise to scale manufacturing and meet surging defence demand. It's a very proud moment for the Seraphim Space Accelerator. ReOrbit joined our Mission 10 cohort in 2022 and has since grown into a European leader in dual-use satellites, delivering secure, sovereign communications and intelligence capabilities. This milestone highlights two powerful trends: 1. The critical importance of strategic autonomy in today’s geopolitical climate. 2. Growing investor conviction in dual-use SpaceTech built from strong regional ecosystems. Congratulations to the team on this landmark raise, another clear signal of Europe’s role in shaping the future of space and defence.
