Terran Orbital is building an initial 300 satellite (288 craft plus 12 spares) mega-constellation for Rivada Space. However, Rivada is on an extremely tight launch schedule in order to comply with International Telecommunications Union (ITU) obligations. Terran has outlined its delivery plans for the next few years as far as the first batch of satellites […]
Rivada Space Networks, fresh with the positive news from the ITU’s Radio Regulations Board that its planned launches for two 300 satellite constellations can go ahead, has announced a partnership with IEC Telecom for land and maritime connectivity. Rivada is seeking business for its ‘OuterNet’ satellite scheme and supplying large quantities of data to government […]
Rivada Space Networks has confirmed its plans to launch two satellite mega-constellations. The news emerged after the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) approved a request to permit a delay in the launch obligations for the two low Earth orbiting constellations. The ITU’s Radio Regulations Board has waived the requirement that Rivada put 10 per cent of […]
The ITU’s Radio Regulations Board (RRB) has approved a ‘milestone waiver’ for Rivada Space and its first batch of 300 satellites. This decision removes a major worry for Rivada which – had the waiver not been granted – would have near-scuppered the Ka-band project. The overall system calls for two batches each of 300 satellites. […]
Rivada Space Networks (RSN) and Artel have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Master Services Agreement (MSA) to bring a new level of high security and low latency satellite communications to government markets through LEO constellations. Artel provides secure network communication services to U.S. Government (USG) agencies. Based in the US, Artel is a […]
Rivada Space Networks is planning an initial 300 craft fleet of low Earth orbiting satellites. It is facing a demanding series of key dates get the constellation into space. Now, however, it is facing a tough demand from a US court ruling. A New York judge has ordered Irish entrepreneur and the firm’s major backer […]
Terran orbital has broken ground on a new factory which will eventually start production of 300 satellites for Rivada Space Networks. The factory is a 94,000 sq ft site in Irvine, California (in the Goodyear Business Park). The facility will serve as Terran Orbital’s fifth production facility. Demolition of the existing building commenced in February […]
Rivada Space Networks (RSN), which is building an initial 300-satellite mega-constellation of low Earth orbiting satellites, has signed with Okapi:Orbits to use its satellite mission-analysis tools, including analysis and implementation of Collision Avoidance and De-orbiting strategies. The agreement brings together RSN’s interconnected high-speed, low Earth orbiting satellite network and Braunschweig, Germany-based Okapi:Orbits’ Space Traffic Management […]
Rivada Space Networks (RSN), which plans on launching a 300-craft mega-constellation of satellites, has signed an MoU with Canada-based Network Innovations “to work together to bring innovative connectivity solutions to the government and enterprise markets”. Network Innovations is a global technology integrator that keeps people, places and things connected anywhere in the world with always-available […]
Rivada Networks wants to build and launch 600 satellites in a mega-constellation. However, the business is on a tight timetable as far as its launch schedule is concerned and badly needs the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to relax its rules. The first batch of satellites, numbering 300, are already on order. Rivada had hoped that […]
