Bridging the gap between innovation and implementation is at the very heart of NewSpace, and the emergence of the small satellite ecosystem, a new era for the space and satellite industry, heralds great promise for the global economy, for society, and for development. Among other themes, this chapter will explore: • The current trends in the “smallsats” ecosystem • The game-changing developments in the antenna/terminal ground segment • The importance of the mobility markets • The competing “state-of-the-art” solutions in the flat panel antenna market and associated forecasts and trends to 2028 • Drivers other than just technology • Teleports transitioning to data center centric models • The changing interrelationship of the satcoms and Earth observation environments • The responsibilities of the operators of the emerging mega-constellations to maintain the sustainability of the operational environment of low Earth orbit.
