Eighty-two percent of senior executives in Deloitte’s 📆 2023 #space survey said that innovation in the #SpaceMarket is a priority for their organization. #SmallSats 🛰️ accounted for about 95% 📊 of #spacecraft launched in 2022. As of 2022, the global #SpaceSector had attracted private equity investments of about US$272 billion 💰 into 1,791 unique companies since 2013 https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/aerospace-defense/future-of-space-economy.html

One ton of #smallsats to be #launched per day on average over the next decade https://www.euroconsult-ec.com/press-release/one-ton-of-smallsats-to-be-launched-per-day-on-average-over-the-next-decade-yet-challenges-remain

📡🛰️ #SpaceX engineers have a paper at #SmallSats on the coordinated update of over 4000 #Starlink satellites.

Nothing surprising, but interesting to see how they roll out the new software from an operational perspective

(A/B partition updates, reboot overseen by a hardware watch dog, hub-and-spoke model to ensure consistency across computers from the spacecraft, canary subset before whole constellation deployment)
