We have new satellites underway and expanding Band 53 capable ecosystem and new products coming online.

The strategic business logic of combining XCOM Labs technology with Globalstar's structural -- spectrum assets provides significant differentiation as we address mission-critical wireless applications.

So in summary, I think it's going to depend on consumer willingness to pay for having very high data rate connections through a satellite connection. And that, I think, remains to be seen.

But I would just say that it takes a lot of space resources to serve a phone at high bandwidth, high throughput. And so that's just going to -- that will turn into cost.

Chris Quilty: So does it make sense to either working with the OEM or a partner shooting for OEM installation?Source

Matt Desch: So the safety program, which largely developed is entering into its certification phase right now where it starts flying on airlines.Source

Iridium's ability to generate and grow free cash flow has been fueled by robust commercial service revenue.Source

Iridium returned more than $310 million to shareholders last year. As part of this program, we initiated a quarterly dividend, which paid $65 million to shareholders in 2023.Source

Ryan Koontz: Thanks for the question. Mark, thinking about how the IFC business scales here, apart from adding all the tremendous increase incapacity from ViaSat-3.

Mark Dankberg: The Link 16 specific businesses went with the sale. But we do have space contracts that cover a variety of range of communications, wave forms and data links. And we can include Link 16, as one of those waveforms in a multi-waveform space system.

Yes. So the -- well, one of the tricks is really the whole purpose of this is to increase passenger engagement and then basically think of in-flight connectivity as an amenity like other amenities and it's got to carry its weight for those airlines, right.

So you're seeing, I'd say, a pretty fair -- very high penetration of those or many flights where we'll serve well over 200 devices at peak times. And I'd say we're serving both entertainment and connectivity options.

Our ESCAPADE mission for NASA and the University of California, Berkeley, we're building two spacecraft headed to Mars orbit via Blue Origin launch scheduled for Q3 this year.Source

With mitigations now in place for future missions, we're starting to pick up the launch pace for this year.Source

The first fully assembled spacecraft is currently being put through the ringer and the vacuum chamber testing, pushing the spacecraft to its limit, so we can know with confidence that can survive the journey from earth to mars.Source

The skill set makes us now 1 of only 2 commercial launch companies with spacecraft reentry capabilities, a rare and valuable thing in the market.Source

Abel Avellan: Yes. The agreement with NASA, Chris, is basically an agreement to chair information of where our assets or our space assets are, where their space assets are.

Scott Wisniewski: Chris, we, of course, don't want to get ahead of that announcement, but we think it's -- this is an incredible milestone, not just for us, but kind of you saw our partner post us alongside Alexander Grand Bell.

We definitely saw the transition from GEO to LEO coming and what a powerful value proposition that is for our enterprise customers.

So, you know, we talked about telcos, mobile network operators, corporates, governments, aero, maritime.

In preparation for the launch of Jupiter 3, the team is focused on developing service plans with higher speeds, more data capacity and the extension of our HughesNet Fusion plan for the ultimate high-speed, low-latency satellite Internet experience.

I’m pleased to report that the Jupiter 3 satellite is in the final stages of assembly and launch, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2023.

we can work with others around the world to provide service and other products to them to make -- to have a bigger play in the in-flight business. So I will just stop there, but we are definitely a global company.

we are looking at a number of deals and opportunities. As I said, our enterprise business is facing a significant amount of demand from a variety of sources, obviously, in-flight business is one, and there are multiple opportunities there that we are working on

With the turn time objectives on Delta, now something we've got confidence in, this has great benefit in reducing the amount of CapEx needed for every spaceport.Source

So the big move we're making here is pivoting the resources that are -- have been being put into the Unity flights and redirecting them over to get the delta ships done with the cash we have on hand and take that kind of market risk off the table.Source

So we have generally held our sales process just as you know, we have a 3-plus year backlog already with the 800 or so that we have. We've seen minimal cancellations in that, and we do expect to open sales back up after we start flying.Source

In 2024, while that parts fabrication is continuing, and being put into subassemblies with Bell and with Qarbon, the Phoenix facility will become operational for us and those subassemblies and parts will begin to arrive in Phoenix, that will start us in 2024.Source
