@esa @NLSpaceOffice @NXTGENHightech 📷👇We'll finish the day with some more photographs from the event, and a reminder of the programme for tomorrow 👉

@esa We enjoyed networking with each of our attendees. Thank you again to our co-host @NLSpaceOffice and sponsor @NXTGENHightech #scylight2024 #scylight

✅Were given the opportunity to collaborate with other delegates, and explore the latest product and technology developments ✅Met others in the optical and quantum community ✅Were given an overview of @esa's plans within optical and quantum communications

During the Conference, our attendees: ✅Heard from thought leaders in the fields of optical and quantum communications, and learned of the latest trends ✅Got a front-row seat to information on successful missions and future plans within the satellite communications industry

👏🎉That's a wrap! We have concluded 2024's ScyLight Conference - we'll see you tomorrow for the Quantum Workshop #scylight2024 #scylight

You can also read more about OPS-SAT here 👉 https://t.co/OC4vbqj6pS #scylight2024 #scylight

"We're working on OPS-SAT VOLT, an ESA-Space Lab partnership for quantum-classical optical communications," said Evans #scylight2024 #scylight

"134 teams from 26 countries were involved in the first OPS-SAT mission," said Evans #scylight2024 #scylight

.@esa's David Evans, Advanced Operations & OPS-SAT Space Lab Manager, talks about the OPS-SAT mission. More here 👉 https://t.co/erAZJJkUKd #scylight2024 #scylight

"We are also collaborating with industry partners to create a scalable optical intersatellite link terminal to provide reliable, high-speed connectivity," said Viasat #scylight2024 #scylight

"An optical relay is capable of a bi-directional ground to space to ground relay," explains Viasat #scylight2024 #scylight

"There are challenges with atmospheric disturbance, which we are studying - and trying to work around - with many of our partners in this room," said Viasat #scylight2024 #scylight

"The drivers for optical feeder links are the need for higher throughput and reliable network resilience," said Viasat #scylight2024 #scylight

"Our main optical solutions are optical feeder links, optical relay links and optical intersatellite links," said Viasat #scylight2024 #scylight

"We have a focus on optical, the future of high throughput space communications," said Viasat #scylight2024 #scylight

"We see ourselves as a disruptive innovator in the satellite communications market," said Viasat #scylight2024 #scylight

Last presentation of the day - @viasat provide an overview of their recent work: "We have a global fleet of 19 satellites, including those in the Ka-band and L-band." #scylight2024 #scylight

"The encoding was at mid-infrared wavelengths," said De Lazzari #scylight2024 #scylight
