Agenda

ReOrbit: Sovereign Satellite Systems for the UK: Bridging Defence & Civil Connectivity with ReOrbit’s Integrated Satellite & Space Cloud Architecture.

This presentation outlines how ReOrbit enables UK sovereign communications by integrating software-first satellite platforms with a resilient Space Cloud architecture. We will show how defense-grade and civil connectivity requirements can be met through modular, mission-tailored satellites combined with secure in-orbit processing, optical inter-satellite links, and data sovereignty by design. The session frames a clear path to a UK-manufactured capability – accelerating national resilience, interoperability with allies, and long-term industrial value – while delivering scalable communications for defense operations and critical civil services alike.

ICEYE: Propelling the UK into the Modern Space Era

In an increasingly unpredictable world, securing the UK’s sovereign and independent space capability has never been more crucial. This presentation will show how the UK can maintain its position as a leading space nation by adopting the new‑space approach demonstrated by companies such as ICEYE. Our capability has been proven in Ukraine, delivering at speed and scale, which has led multiple European nations to purchase their own ICEYE sovereign satellites — delivered launch‑ready in months — combined with immediate access to data from our on‑orbit constellation. ICEYE already has a strong presence in the UK and aims to further grow jobs, manufacturing, and national capability.
