Sateliot and UNESCO partner to launch STEM education initiative in Latin America

Sateliot has formalised a collaboration agreement with UNESCO Santiago- the Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean.

The announcement was made at the Global Education Meeting 2024 (GEM 2024), which centered on discussions about digital education, access to innovative technologies,and the development of essential future-ready skills. During the event, UNESCO endorsed the partnership with Sateliot to collaborate on initiatives that reinforce and expand the work programmes of both organisations.

Central to the partnership is the Sateliot Impact Challenge, a training programme that will offer teacher training and education for young people in STEM fields and entrepreneurship. This will enable teachers to lead project-based learning. At the same time, young people will learn to design and implement innovative proposals to address real community problems, thus promoting their development and empowering them to become change agents.

Iridium makes strides in NB-IoT NTN with 3GPP release 19 inclusion

Iridium Communications has announced that the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) accepted Iridium’s request to extend the functionality of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) for Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) into the Work Plan for 3GPP Release 19 as an official Work Item. This will pave the way for Iridium’s satellite service to be accessible via industry standard chipsets, furthering the company’s progress in developing and deploying its newest service, Iridium NTN Direct, over the Iridium Network. 3GPP Release 19 is currently scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Rocket Lab sets launch date for Kinéis’ second mission

Rocket Lab USA has announced it has set the launch window for its 53rd Electron Launch. The mission will be the second of five dedicated launches for the French company Kinéis.

The ‘Kinéis Killed the RadIOT Star’ mission is scheduled to launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand during a 14-day launch window that opens on September 17, 2024, NZST.

This mission will launch just three months after the ‘No Time Toulouse’ mission, Kinéis’ first launch with Rocket Lab. ‘Kinéis Killed the RadIOT Star’ will be the second of five dedicated Electron launches for Kinéis, a company backed by private and public investors including the French government’s space agency Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES) and Collecte Localisation Satellites (CLS), an international space-based solutions provider, to improve global Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity.

Kinéis’ constellation will connect any object anywhere in the world and guarantee the transmission of targeted and useful data to users, in near-real time, with low energy consumption with more powerful 30kg-class nanosats that integrate IoT technology. The constellation also includes a second mission: a ship-tracking Automatic Identification System (AIS). Once deployed, these technologies will allow Kinéis to expand across multiple industries and scale from 20,000 devices connected to millions. The second constellation launch will add an additional five new satellites to its planned 25 and will enhance Kinéis’ ability to connect the planet and address essential challenges for humanity, its activities and its environment.

“We’re excited to welcome the Kinéis team on board Electron again as we help them build out their constellation,” said Peter Beck, the Rocket Lab founder and CEO of Rocket Lab. “Dedicated launch is key for the kind of precise orbital deployment requirements many constellation operators need, so we’re proud to make that possible once again.”

Alexandre Tisserant, the chairman of Kinéis, said, “The Kinéis teams are ready to build on the success of the first launch. They have capitalised on this first and delicate technical experience of putting our first five satellites into position and are delivering a real technical performance in managing the five new satellites simultaneously, in addition to the five already in the air. Rocket Lab’s Electron launcher made a major contribution to this success, thanks to the precision with which it injected our nanosatellites into their positions. The IoT revolution is underway. Thanks to our space-based connectivity, we’ll be able to connect any object anywhere in the world in near real time. Go Kinéis!”

The ‘Kinéis Killed the RadIOT Star’ launch has been tailored specifically to meet Kinéis’ mission requirements, giving them greater control over launch schedule, orbit and deployment parameters than would be possible on a larger rideshare mission. Tailored mission parameters for this launch include:

  • Instantaneous launch window,
  • After the first Curie engine burn to circularise the Kick Stage’s orbit, Curie will ignite again for an eight second burn to set a specific argument of perigee, enabling Kinéis to deploy five satellites to a precise location for each one of the five launches,
  • All five satellites will be deployed in a precise sequence in singles and as pairs to build out the constellation exactly as Kinéis needs it,
  • Finally, Curie will conduct a perigee lowering burn to reduce the Kick Stage’s orbital lifetime to keep space sustainable.
