2020 in Review and the Decade Ahead With Euroconsult’s Maxime Puteaux

<p>In this episode, Maxime Puteaux, principal advisor at <strong>Euroconsult</strong>, gives us the rundown of satellite trends in 2020, as well as what he sees happening in the decade ahead. Puteaux reviews a forecast of satellite manufacturing and launch services, pegged to a <a href= "https://www.euroconsult-ec.com/node/621" data-feathr-click-track= "true">recent Euroconsult report</a> on the subject.</p> <p>Looking back at 2020, Puteaux notes it was the first time in a single year that more than 1,000 satellites were launched — 70% of those were from <strong>SpaceX</strong>’s Starlink — a number will become a new standard, driven by the replacement of the commercial constellations. Moving forward, Euroconsult expects 50% of the demand for new satellites to be concentrated by four of the mega constellations for broadband, but a third of the market will still be retained by Geostationary (GEO) satellites. </p>
