The view from above: Sovereign EO constellations are reshaping strategic advantage
Earth Observation satellites are no longer just tools for climate science or agricultural monitoring. They have become instruments of geopolitical power - and the nations that control them are quietly rewriting the rules of strategic competition.
Orbital servicing to become a key opportunity area
With the space transitioning to ‘maintenance economy’ phase, the next major opportunity will come from maintaining assets already in orbit.
Modern conflict’s key asset isn’t drones. It’s satellite infrastructure.
Without satellite support, a drone is little more than airborne hardware. Yet most discussions on modern conflict stop at the drone - and never ask what's behind it.
EO Is No Longer About Data. It’s About Decisions
The Earth Observation (EO) sector is entering a structural transition. The competitive advantage is no longer defined only by satellite launches or imaging capability,
Orbital AI’s biggest bottleneck isn’t the chips. It’s heat.
Space is a vacuum - a near-perfect insulator. Heat can't be convected away. It can only be radiated as infrared. To dissipate just 1 MW at a stable 20°C requires approximately
