GMV recently attended the Space Symposium for the first time, at its 38th edition held in the USA from April 17-20 at The Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The first edition of the Space Symposium took place in 1984 with 250 attendees, although this year the number of participants exceeded 7,000, including visitors, speakers, exhibitors, students, etc. This is an annual conference that brings together space professionals from around the world, to discuss the latest developments in space technology, policy, and exploration.

At this year’s edition, the participating experts discussed subjects that included, among others, Moon and Mars exploration and colonization, the challenges presented by the need for space sustainability and environmental protection, and cybersecurity in the space industry.

José Miguel Lozano, president of GMV North America, participated along with other industry professionals in a discussion panel held on Wednesday, April 19th, entitled “Commercial SSA: the next game changers”. He took advantage of this opportunity to share his views on the challenges facing the field of space traffic management (STM), which are arising from the growing number of objects in orbit, especially those associated with satellite mega-constellations. He also described GMV’s participation in developing numerous space situational awareness (SSA) products and services, which are now being used extensively by companies and institutions worldwide. Finally, he emphasized the importance of data fusion technologies and development of services adapted to each type of user, from the institutions responsible for STM to the various satellite operators, to cover everything from minor missions to mega-constellations.

GMV’s participation in the 2023 edition of the Space Symposium demonstrates the company’s commitment to the space industry, and its ability to contribute innovative solutions in an industry that exists in a state of constant evolution.
