Quvia: Aviation connectivity is about more than just bandwidth.



In our latest SSPI podcast conversation, we speak with Mike Moeller of Quvia about what happens when connectivity ecosystems evolve faster than aircraft deployment cycles.



For years, the aviation industry focused on adding more connectivity: more satellites, more throughput, more coverage.



But as GEO, LEO, multi-orbit systems, new antennas, and hybrid network environments expand, a different challenge is emerging: complexity.



In this episode of From Connectivity to Intelligence, Mike explains why airlines are now dealing with environments too dynamic to manage through traditional policy-based systems alone.



One insight that stood out: by the time a connectivity upgrade reaches an entire fleet, the connectivity landscape itself may already have changed.



Listen in and see how Quvia hopes to help.

SSPI Board Election Now Open

We are pleased to announce the slate for the 2026-2027 SSPI Board of Directors election, and your vote matters.

SSPI periodically opens nominations for service on its Board of Directors, in accordance with its bylaws. Nominations may be submitted by members and are reviewed by the Board as part of SSPI's affirmative nominations process. The Board considers organizational needs, representation, and alignment, and provides guidance to the Executive Director regarding which individuals should be invited to stand for election.

This year, five professionals are standing for election. Three were appointed by the Board to complete the terms of directors who had to vacate their seats, and this election marks their first full three-year terms:

- Daniel Gizinski, President, Satellite & Space Communications Segment, Comtech Telecommunications Corp.

- Shruti Vyas, Head of Programmes, SES Satellites

- Stephen Hanna, PMP, WorldView Space Product Manager, Vantor

Joining them on the slate are two professionals who are joining the Board for the first time:

- Stella Guillen, Chief Commercial Officer, Isar Aerospace

- Mark Mozena, Vice President of Government Affairs, Planet

To learn more about the nominees and view the full proposed slate, visit the SSPI Leadership Team page: https://www.sspi.org/leadership-team



Voting is open through June 5th. The ballot takes just a few minutes to complete and also gives you the opportunity to share any comments.

Join SSPI tomorrow, May 20 at 12 pm EDT for the New York Space Business Roundtable: Safety, Capital, and What Happens After Artemis?

🔗 Register here: https://sspi.glueup.com/event/nysbr-safety-capital-and-what-happens-after-artemis-180098/

Artemis has returned human spaceflight to the Moon. Attention is now turning to how safety, operational readiness, and infrastructure are shaping participation, investment, and opportunity across the emerging space safety economy.

Joining us for this discussion are:

- Stephen Eisele, CEO, Lonestar Data Holdings Inc.

- Jessica Gregory, VP of Civil Space Programs, Voyager Technologies

- Zack Hester, Head of U.S. Office, Novaspace

Zack Hester will open the program with the “Setting the Table” segment, framing the market, investment, and operational landscape shaping the next phase of activity beyond Earth orbit.

From there, we’ll explore:

• Where early opportunity is taking shape

• What signals matter to investors and operators

• How safety and reliability influence decision-making

• How organizations are positioning themselves for what comes next

In a space industry obsessed with what’s new, there is also a lot to learn from companies that endure.



In this episode of The SSPI Podcast, Tamara Bond-Williams speaks with Pat Rayermann, Chief Executive Officer of XTAR, as the company returns to the SSPI community.



The conversation covers:



- XTAR’s pioneering role in commercial military X-band SATCOM

- Why X-band still matters for government and military users

- How focused satellite companies adapt through industry change

- Space safety, orbital debris, refueling and maneuverability

- Why resilience depends on diverse commercial and military capabilities

- Why Pat sees SSPI membership as an investment in people



Pat also brings the perspective of a longtime SSPI leader, Mid-Atlantic Chapter champion and lifetime member.



This episode starts as a returning member conversation and quickly demonstrates how depth of industry experience can prepare us for the modern challenges of the industry. It’s a discussion about endurance, resilience and what the satellite industry needs to preserve as it changes.

BlackSky: How Is BlackSky Turning Space Data Into Real-Time Decisions?



That’s the question behind our latest SSPI podcast… and it turns out the answer is less about satellites, and more about speed.



In this conversation with Katelyn Fobes of BlackSky, we explore what happens when satellite imagery becomes operational in near real time.



We’re talking about:

- Detecting anomalies within hours… sometimes minutes

- AI accelerating analysis, not replacing it

- Commercial space moving deeper into government missions

- A shift from delivering data to enabling decisions



One thing that stands out… this isn’t about perfect imagery. It’s about relevant insight, fast enough to matter.



And maybe more surprising, in a sector defined by speed and competition, the conversation keeps returning to something quieter: mentorship, culture, and the idea that this industry still runs on people who care about each other.



That combination… velocity and humanity… is where things get interesting.
