Safran Space Connecting Days 2026

Workshop 1 - Constellations at scale: building the infrastructure behind global connectivity

As satellite operators race to deploy and expand next-generation contellations, scaling infrastructure has become as critical as launching satellites. Explore the industrial, operational and economic challenges behind global connectivity.

• Scaling production and operations for mega-constellations
• Group infrastructure and user terminals: delivering performance at scale
• Designing and deploying hundreds of gateways worldwide
• Lean operations, maintenance and lifecycle management
• Balancing performance, cost efficiency and speed-to-market

Workshop 2 - Spectrum Awareness: The Next Frontier of Satellite Operations

As spectrum becomes increasingly congested and contested, operators face new challenges in maintaining service quality and operational efficiency. Join an open discussion on how the industry is evolving to improve spectrum awareness, detect interference faster and stregthen the resilience of satellite services.

• Operational challenges faced by satellite operators
• Interference, jamming and spectrum congestion trends
• Visibility and monitoring accross complex networks
• Faster incident response and service restoration
• The role of automation, analytics and AI
• Priorities and innovation needs for the next decade

Workshop 3 - Space data highways: preparing for the next generation of space communications

The growing demand for capacity, speed and resilience is driving the adoption of the new communication architectures. Explore the technologies that will shape tomorrow's space networks. 

• High-capacity Ka and Q/V band communications
• Optical and laser communication technologies 
• Increasing throughput while reducing latency
• Securing future space communication links
• Building the foundations of next-generation space networks

Workshop 4 - Reinventing the ground segment: the Rise of flexible, virzualized and service-based architectures

Ground infrastructure is undergoing a profound transformation. From virtualisation to Ground Segment as a Service, new operating models are resharping how space missions are deployed and managed. 

• Ground Segment as a Service (GSaaS) and emerging business models 
• Proprietary, shared and hybrid networks architectures
• Virtualisation and cloud-enabled operations
• Scalability, flexibility and cost optimisation
• The future role of ground infrastructure in an increasingly connected space ecosystem
