In this Better Satellite World podcast, SSPI's Lou Zacharilla speaks with representatives of the three 2023 recipients of Better Satellite World Awards. Libby Barr, Chief Operating Officer of Avanti Communications, Fernando Carballal, Associate Director of Product Development and Operational Partnerships for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Stephen Wood, Senior Director of the Maxar News Bureau join Lou to discuss their projects, goals and making a better world for all. Libby Barr is the Chief Operating Officer at Avanti Communications (“Avanti”) and a member of its Executive Committee. Joining in January 2019, Libby is responsible for the development and growth of the Carrier, Mobility and Enterprise customers along with overseeing the end-to-end customer experience across Avanti's Sales and Marketing departments. Libby is passionate about connecting some of the hardest-to-reach communities in the world. Key milestones include the connectivity of over 1,000 villages in Africa, to which Avanti has made significant investments to provide satellite infrastructure and digital connectivity in rural and ultra-rural areas. Along with her team, Libby's focus will be on connecting a further 10,000 villages and schools over the next five years. Prior to Avanti, Libby was at BT for nine years. As Managing Director of Customer Care, she was a key member of the BT Consumer Leadership Team who grew the company's revenue by more than £1.2bn in five years. Libby was also responsible for the strategic vision, leadership and transformation of a 10,000 strong Customer Care organisation across more than 30 sites worldwide. Libby began her career at Vodafone. At the company for 22 years, she held positions in both the global and UK organisations, leading the Enterprise Sales and Service organisations. In addition, Libby was a Trustee of the Vodafone Foundation. Avanti Communications' rural solution is a groundbreaking satellite service designed to bridge the digital divide by connecting ultra-rural villages in Nigeria for the first time. This innovative solution has proven key to the Nigerian Communications Commission's (NCC) National Broadband Plan of 2020, which sets out two national goals: to achieve 90% population coverage and a penetration rate of 70% by 2025. Avanti Rural solution uses advanced satellite technology to extend mobile network coverage to the hardest-to-reach areas of Nigeria, that would be impossible to reach using traditional terrestrial infrastructure. This off-grid service is a game-changer in the telecommunications industry, providing cellular services to the most remote communities, and in turn, promoting digital inclusion and socio-economic development. As of 2023, Avanti has deployed over 500 ultra-rural sites in 21 Nigerian states, providing 2G and 3G connectivity to 2.5 million Nigerians. All these areas previously had no connectivity, with residents forced to travel on foot or by local bus to the nearest towns with coverage just to use their mobile phones. Fernando Carballal is Associate Director of Product Development and Operational Partnerships for the International Rescue Committee (IRC), an organization that helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crisis—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. He is also Co-Founder and Innovation Consultant of Impactspace, which works with businesses, NGOs, government and academia internationally to explore and commercialize new impactful ideas.

He is a graduate of London Metropolitan University with a Masters in Product Design and the University of East London with a Bachelors of Science in Architecture. The Mapping Invisible Populations project is an innovative initiative by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), created in collaboration with Flowminder and Humanitarian Open Street Map. The project was developed in 2023 with the central aim of providing support services to hard-to-reach populations. This initiative primarily targets fragile and conflict-affected areas which may receive less medical and other humanitarian support. Using satellite imagery mapping techniques and GIS methodologies provided by its partners, the Mapping Invisible Populations project gathers satellite and spatial data and combines it with population estimates analyzed by its partners to determine the location of these underserved populations. Subsequently, these estimates are verified by community informants for further corroboration. The objective is to identify populations living in areas that are large enough to justify IRC investing resources, time, and risk to provide medical and humanitarian assistance. Stephen Wood is the Senior Director of the Maxar News Bureau. He has more than 30 years of experience analyzing satellite imagery and performing all-source analysis for government, commercial and media customers.

In today's episode, we're going to be discussing how Artificial Intelligence can be used to enhance Earth Observation.Most of the images generated by satellites will never be seen by human eyes. There simply aren't enough humans on Earth—let alone trained experts—to sift through the TBs of imagery generated daily and extract valuable intelligence and insight. Big data and AI approaches can be used for innovative and cost-effective management and processing of data, learning to recognise patterns and find correlations that humans would otherwise miss. New insights unlocked in this way offer the potential to deliver value to a range of users across markets such as finance, insurance, transport, and agriculture.Our host Dallas Campbell is joined in the studio by Dr. Freddie Kalaitzis from the University of Oxford, James Parr, Founder of Trillium Technologies, and Maral Bayaraa from the Satellite Applications Catapult.Satellite Applications Catapult: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn, FacebookTrillium Technologies: Website, Twitter, LinkedInUniversity of Oxford: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook Produced by Story Ninety-Four in Oxford.

Satellite Applications Catapult is an entity set up by the UK, and is one of nine Catapults, aimed at building innovation and driving economic growth. I was interested to speak with Dan because I believe the organisation is doing important work in being the bridge between the satellite data producers, which is Earth observation industry and the rest of the world, who are the users of the data. I also wanted to dive deep into the challenges in using satellite data today and things that needs to be done to make EO mainstream. In this episode, we discuss the state of adoption of Earth observation, the pilot project problem, importance of standards and interoperability, whether the Catapult-model can scale around the world and more.- Dan's LinkedIn- Satellite Applications Catapult---01:08: Intro01:54: About Satellite Applications Catapult and their work in Earth observation03:13: State of EO and the adoption of satellite data09:48: What's going on in the UK EO ecosystem?14:20: The "pilot project problem" in EO17:16: Data availability, standards, interoperability 24:40: The role of space agencies and Catapult-like entities in pushing the adoption of satellite data31:05: Similarities with weather and the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach34:14: The outlook for EO and key markets39:37: Wrap-up

Space is the “initial” frontier for AM. One of the industrial segments where AM production made the most sense from the very start and where AM has helped enable the development and growth of a new, vibrant commercial space industry. Today we get to speak with one of the companies driving this new age of space across many segments. The Satellite Applications Catapult is one of a network of UK technology and innovation companies that aim to drive economic growth through the commercialization of research. The company's aim is to support the UK industry by accelerating the growth of satellite applications and contribute to capturing a 10% share of the global space market predicted by 2030. Exploiting the innovation potential in the UK industrial and academic communities, SAC is a focal point where small and medium enterprises, large industries and end-users can work together with researchers, to challenge barriers, explore and develop new ideas, and bring these to commercial reality. Our guest for this episode, Mike Curtis-Rouse is Head of Access for Space for the Satellite Application Catapult. In this role, Mike leads a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, technologists, and analysts with mission heritage in spacecraft, launch and operations combined with expertise from the automotive, manufacturing and the maritime sectors. The ambition is to ensure that the UK sits in the vanguard of this new era, being competitive in technologies including propulsion development and testing, In-Orbit Servicing and Manufacturing (IOSM), devolved operation centers, space situational awareness, and solar energy from space. He works with many launch vehicle companies across the world and is heavily involved in the UK's launch and spaceport program. Prior to Catapult, Mike worked for Reaction Engines Ltd, the European Space Agency, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and CERN.

Without space, we would not know nearly as much about our need to act against climate change as we currently do. As the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events increases, there has never been more of a need for this type of information. This is particularly true for people of Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. Despite contributing the least to global greenhouse gas emissions, small island nation developing states are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. With around one-third of the population living less than five metres above sea level, rising waters are forcing communities from their ancestral homes, as land and lives are lost to the effects of climate change. Recognising the need to act, the UK Space Agency funded IPP CommonSensing project has created a tool to support these nations and assist decision-makers in their efforts. Through the CommonSensing platform, map-based evidence can be used to navigate the complex funding landscape, resilience and relocation efforts, disaster risk reduction, and enhanced food security.

Access to space in the UK is changing. New technologies emerge every year, creating the opportunity for new types of companies to exploit the power of space.The next natural step in the UK space industry's journey, is launch.Spaceport sites have been planned across the UK, including in Scotland and Cornwall, which could cement the country as Europe's most attractive destination for commercial spaceflight activities. But what will these spaceports look like, how will they operate, and what challenges are we facing?Our host Sarah Cruddas is joined remotely from the Westcott Space Cluster by Mike Curtis-Rouse from the Satellite Applications Catapult, and Matt Escott from Protolaunch, and from Argentina, Dan Etenberg from LIA Aerospace.Satellite Applications Catapult: Twitter, LinkedIn, FacebookProtolaunch: Website, Twitter, LinkedInLIA Aerospace: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn

Developing a strong space community in all regions across the UK is essential to foster new collaborations and bring new innovations to life. Over the past decade, the UK space sector has grown from a small group of highly successful niche companies, to a far reaching, dynamic and diverse ecosystem made up of entrepreneurs, academia and both large and small commercial organisations.   New technologies and applications that are resulting from these collaborations are fundamentally changing how society operates while simultaneously raising the profile of the UK Space Sector.Our host, Sarah Cruddas, is joined remotely from Oxford by Nafeesa Dajda, Head of Regional Growth at the Satellite Applications Catapult, from Cornwall, Gail Eastaugh, Programme Director at AeroSpace Cornwall, and from Scotland, Daniel Smith, Founder & Creative Director of AstroAgency.Satellite Applications Catapult: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn, FacebookAeroSpace Cornwall: Website, Twitter, LinkedInAstroAgency: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn

We are in an era of unprecedented change within healthcare, driven by increasing need and accelerating technology opportunities.It is no secret that the NHS is under increasing pressure, but in recent years new solutions have begun to emerge that could help alleviate this stress. The question is: how do we use these new technologies in the best – and fairest - way possible?Currently, the infrastructure is not in place to enable the same levels of care to be delivered to all, and the pandemic has exposed and amplified the inequalities within our system. These are unfair and avoidable.Our host Sarah Cruddas is joined by John Vesey from the Satellite Applications Catapult, Lord Victor Adebowale from Visionable, and Pritesh Mistry from the King's Fund.Satellite Applications Catapult: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn, FacebookVisionable: Website, Twitter, LinkedInThe King's Fund: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn

We are moving into an era of space infrastructure, where the size of what can be fitted into a rocket is no longer a constraint on what can operate in space. In-Orbit Servicing and Manufacturing – or IOSM for short – is a nascent market with huge opportunities, referring to the operations and activities conducted in Low Earth Orbit, though they could happen anywhere in the solar system. IOSM is more than just servicing and manufacturing. It also covers inspection, repair, assembly, and perhaps even recycling. But these operations have all for the most part already happened in space, to some degree. The assembly of the International Space Station, for example, took 30 space missions to complete, whilst the Hubble telescope has been inspected, repaired, and upgraded throughout its lifespan.  So, if these activities are nothing new, why is everyone so excited about IOSM?Our host, Sarah Cruddas, is joined by Mike Curtis-Rouse from the Satellite Applications Catapult, Lorenzo Ferrario from D-Orbit, and Thomas Clayson from Magdrive.Satellite Applications Catapult: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn, FacebookD-Orbit: Website, Twitter, LinkedInMagdrive: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn

Since the birth of space exploration, we have been transfixed with not only the spectacle of space travel, but the opportunities that this new vantage point provides for technological advancement. Today, by combining the advances in launch capabilities and in-orbit manufacturing, we are now in a position to develop the infrastructure for a space-based solar power system, capable of providing clean energy for planet earth. The idea is an old one – dreamed up by some of the great writers of science fiction – but it's the recent advances in our capabilities that are helping to make this possible for our future. With the UK committed to fully decarbonise by 2050, a major consideration is the delivery of energy through clean generation from renewable sources. But the energy we generate must remain affordable, reliable, and secure for our economy to continue to prosper. This is where Space Based Solar Power stands out from the alternatives.We're joined by Martin Soltau and Ali Stickings from Frazer-Nash Consultancy and David Homfray from the Satellite Applications Catapult.Satellite Applications Catapult: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn, FacebookFrazer-Nash Consultancy: Website, Twitter, LinkedIn

It's estimated the world will need to feed 10 billion people before the end of the century. Yet at the same time, we are faced with a climate crisis that requires the urgent protection of our natural resources. To meet these challenges, we need to focus on getting the most out of what we already have. We need more efficient farming methods that are kinder to the environment. We need sustainable, nature focused solutions. We need innovation.So, how do we even begin? And how can satellites help?We're joined by Calum Kelly from the Satellite Applications Catapult, Parmjit Chima from Harper Adams University, and Digby Sowerby from Wessex Internet.Satellite Applications Catapult: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, WebsiteHarper Adams University: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, WebsiteWessex Internet: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Website

Bold space aspirations can create prosperity, drive sustainability, and enable security around the world. For years, the space sector was a well-kept secret, the preserve of the super powers: few people knew we had a space industry – let alone one that was commercially successful on a global scale.  Britain has played a pivotal role in transforming the space landscape, enabling multiple industries, as well as Government, to exploit the benefits of being in orbit – whether empowering our journey towards a Net Zero future, making healthcare more accessible, or introducing truly universal connectivity.This podcast is brought to you by the Satellite Applications Catapult, a UK technology and innovation company driving economic growth through the commercialisation of space, and hosted by Sarah Cruddas.Across this new series of 8 episodes we'll be in conversation with some of the most innovative minds in the country, exploring the ways that the UK is using space to make huge differences to our everyday lives, as well as gaining a better understanding of its role in shaping – and sustaining – our planet for the future.Visit our websiteJoin us on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook

In this episode, we'll be talking about the possibilities for Ubiquitous Connectivity – where people and devices have consistent and uninterrupted access to the internet and to others. Can you imagine life without your smartphone, and not having access to the world in the palm of your hand? We are now more connected than we have ever been, relying on 4G and WiFi networks to help us communicate, socialise and even navigate our journeys. But of course, we have merely scratched the surface of what can truly be achieved. Enter 5G. Not only is 5G set to improve our day to day connectivity, it is also a huge asset to industries such as transportation and healthcare. But like all tech advances, especially those with the potential to shake things up, taking the time to get it right is crucial.For example, in a future where autonomous vehicles have the potential to become commonplace, we need to be confident that issues such as moving across country borders where they will switch from one terrestrial network to another, do not result in incidents like collisions. At the Satellite Applications Catapult, we're involved in projects identifying these potential issues, exploring bridging this gap with satellites to ensure seamless connectivity.Episode Guests: Kieran Arnold - Director of Ubiquitous Connectivity / Satellite Applications Catapult Ashweeni Beeharee - Head of Communication Systems Engineering / Satellite Applications Catapult Johanna Tzanidaki - Director of Innovation and Deployment / ERTICO ITS Europe Nikolaos Tsampieris - An Expert in 5G & Connected Vehicles / ERTICO ITS Europe Resources Find out more about 5G MOBIX in Ashweeni's own words – ‘5G-MOBIX: Cross-Border Connectivity Trials‘ Visit our Projects Hub to explore some of our projects utilising Ubiquitous Connectivity: 5G MOBIX 5G RuralDorset Click below to discover the roles Ubiquitous Connectivity, 5G, and Satcomms play across a variety of our focus areas: Ubiquitous Connectivity for Agriculture Supporting Vulnerable People with Reliable Connectivity  Innovating the New Normal of Health and Wellbeing with Ubiquitous Connectivity Get in TouchIf you'd like to contact us about any episode of In-Orbit, collaboration opportunities, or to find out more about how we can help your business, please email marketing@sa.catapult.org.uk Satellite Applications Catapult: Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook ERTICO ITS Europe: Twitter, LinkedIn, Website

When the number in the corner of our smartphone screens changed from 3G to 4G, few of us even noticed. The same when LTE appeared as an alternative to 4G. However, tech futurists say that fifth-generation networks will support a plethora of internet-connected sensors, vehicles, appliances, and other devices that will perform functions not yet unimagined. And satellites will play an important role in these next generation networks. In this episode, we talk to Kieran Arnold, Director of Ubiquitous Connectivity at the Satellite Applications Catapult in the UK, and General Manager at the Westcott 5G Step-Out Centre.

As you will have gathered from this podcast, I live in and love the intersection of clean technology and entrepreneurship. This passion, and my role as CEO at Hyperion Executive Search brings me into contact with so many fascinating people, and I love to hear and share their stories. On recent podcasts I’ve spoken to leads at cleantech VCs, Publicly Listed tech funds and soon Corporate Venturing entities, but today a very import part of the funding ecosystem are Angels and Angel syndicates, and my guest Simon Acland has great insights into this part of the funding community. About our guest Simon Acland is a Founder and Director of Green Angel Syndicate, the only UK Business Angel group focussed on investing in companies that develop products and solutions that help tackle the climate emergency and environmental crisis and aim for a more efficient and sustainable use of global resources. He sits on the Board of Triple Point Income VCT plc, which has invested extensively in renewable energy and vertical farming, and is on the investment panel of the Triple Point Impact EIS Fund which makes green investments. He is a member of the investment committee of the Angel CoFund. He acts as chair or non-exec director of two companies he has backed in the green technology sector – Powervault, a developer and manufacturer of home electricity storage devices, including products which reuse batteries from electric vehicles, and NatureMetrics, a pioneer of environmental DNA sequencing techniques for monitoring biodiversity. Simon is a Non-Executive Director of the Satellite Applications Catapult, and Vice-Chair of Plantlife, the UK’s main wild plant conservation charity. Simon has a successful track record from over thirty years of investing in young technology businesses. For 19 years he was part of the team that built Quester into one of the UK’s most active early stage venture capital investors, and was Managing Director when it was sold in 2007. Since then he has personally been an active Business Angel investor. Many of the businesses that he backed have floated on various Stock Exchanges, and/or been successfully sold. He has lost count of the number of company boards of which he has been a member. Simon spent eight years as a Lambeth Borough Councillor and stood for parliament in 1987 as a candidate for the SDP/Liberal Alliance. Simon’s 2011 book “Angels, Dragons and Vultures – how to tame your investors and not lose your company”, is widely regarded as one of the most useful guides for entrepreneurs to the world of venture capital. His First Crusade historical novels, the Waste Land and the Flowers of Evil, may be of less practical use to the budding entrepreneur.
