But the system could be \u201ctoo little, too late,\u201d according to a panel discussion at Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen, Nov. 19.<\/p><p>The IRIS\u00b2 project, or Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellite, has been hit with delays and higher-than-anticipated costs. It is set to come online by 2030, but SpaceX already operates around 6,000 Starlink satellites and China&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/china-launches-second-batch-of-18-satellites-for-thousand-sails-megaconstellation\/\">own constellation plans<\/a> are starting to get off the ground.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In contrast, the European Commission <a href=\"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/europe-advances-delayed-sovereign-broadband-constellation-plan\/\">outlined plans<\/a> Oct. 31 for a constellation of 290 satellites by 2030, with the project being led by the SpaceRISE consortium. Global services had earlier been planned for 2027, with satellites starting to go up in 2025.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Panelists for a discussion on the status of the satcom industry agreed that government and military use cases exist, but the commercial aspect will be challenging. There are big questions about whether IRIS\u00b2 can compete in affordability and scale with private-sector constellations like Starlink.<\/p><p>\u201cBy the time IRIS\u00b2 is on orbit in 2030, SpaceX will have 12,000 satellites,\u201d said T.I. Weintraub, chief growth officer with ATLAS Space Operations. \u201cSo it&#8217;s an economy of scale. And if you&#8217;re looking for the private-public partnership, and at the end of the day, for the consumers to use the capability, SpaceX\u2019s Starlink is going to be more affordable.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cBut for the military and for government, clearly it makes sense,\u201d Weintraub added. \u201cIRIS\u00b2 is needed because you don&#8217;t want Elon Musk to be able to turn it off.\u201d<\/p><p>While SpaceX and other private operators leverage economies of scale, rapid iteration, and direct-to-device innovations, Europe lags in scaling production and fostering risk-taking cultures, which hinders its competitiveness, the panelists agreed.<\/p><p>Trial and error drive innovation, according to Clemens Kaiser, chief program officer at Rivada Space Networks. Kaiser stated that Europe\u2019s cautious approach delays progress and diminishes competitiveness. Meanwhile, U.S. firms tend to excel due to faster decision-making and better alignment between government and commercial sectors. Kaiser stated that In Silicon Valley, failing four times is accepted; the fifth venture succeeds. In Europe, failing once often means no second chance.<\/p><p>Europe also faces hurdles in standardizing satellite and ground systems, which slows down progress.&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cI think the real crux and the real difficulty will be to make available user terminals, which can exploit these services at a cost, size, power, if you wish, that is affordable by end users,\u201d said Michael Witting, senior advisor at the European Space Agency (ESA), referring to end users in the sense of private but also car and aviation users and beyond.<\/p><p>\u201cIRIS\u00b2 has the problem of too many stakeholders, customers, and they want everything in this,\u201d said Kaiser. \u201cAnd this may lead to further delays, if you&#8217;re not really narrowing it down to something which can be realized.\u201d<\/p><p>Europe appears to need to somehow balance affordability, innovation and security, while&nbsp; heavily relying on private-public partnerships and a complex web of stakeholders. It apparently also needs to foster a more innovative, risk-tolerant culture.&nbsp;<\/p><p>While there is no doubt about the need for a secure, sovereign European system, panelists agreed, the economic and competitive landscape raises questions, particularly regarding affordability and scale of existing commercial solutions. Whether it can deliver on its promise will depend on Europe\u2019s ability to overcome structural, cultural, and technological barriers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BREMEN, Germany \u2014 Europe\u2019s plan to launch a sovereign satellite communication constellation is moving ahead once more, but IRIS\u00b2 faces challenges of timing, scale and feasibility in the face of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11006,"featured_media":509121,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4152,4148,4149,4161],"tags":[819,4285,4293,4622],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3506],"class_list":["post-509119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-civil1","category-commercial-archive","category-militaryspace-archive","category-news-archive","tag-europe","tag-iris","tag-space-tech-expo","tag-space-tech-expo-europe","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.6 (Yoast SEO v23.9) -
