The Space Hub Hub
High Capacity Satellites (HCS) are a new breed of satellite technology, delivering ubiquitous, affordable broadband services to rival cable, fibre and terrestrial offerings as well as offering value added services where terrestrial cannot reach. Whether providing consumers in hard to reach locations with broadband and voice services, delivering in-flight internet, connecting militaries with resilient on- demand capacity, or serving offshore enterprise broadband needs, the possibilities for how to connect people with HCS are endless.
In 2016 the European Space Agency (ESA) and Viasat launched an initiative called the High Capacity Satellite Applications Factory. This initiative is part of ESA’s ARTES Competitiveness & Growth programme and has a focus on accelerating Europe’s growth as a centre of excellence and innovation in the space industry through the rapid development of new HCS products, applications and services.
Through participation in the Space Hub it's possible to gain entry into the HCS industry which is estimated to become €500bn by 2030.
