Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Intelsat, a global leader in satellite communications, has entered into a groundbreaking agreement with Starfish Space to extend the operational life of one of its geostationary satellites using the innovative Otter servicing vehicle.<\/p>\n

This partnership, set to commence in 2026, marks Starfish Space\u2019s first mission serving a commercial satellite operator.<\/p>\n

Jean-Luc Froeliger, Senior Vice President of Space Systems at Intelsat, emphasized the company\u2019s commitment to innovation and leveraging emerging technologies.<\/p>\n

He highlighted that the collaboration with Starfish Space reflects Intelsat\u2019s strategy to maximize the value of its satellite fleet for customers through advanced satellite servicing capabilities.<\/p>\n

Intelsat has been at the forefront of satellite mission extension, having pioneered satellite life extension agreements since 2016 and continuing to expand its capabilities in recent years.<\/p>\n

The agreement with Starfish Space signifies a significant milestone for both companies, aiming to broaden the satellite servicing market and drive industry advancements in satellite operations.<\/p>\n

Starfish Space\u2019s Otter spacecraft, renowned for its small satellite architecture and cutting-edge hardware and software technologies, will initially manoeuvre a retired Intelsat satellite in a geostationary graveyard orbit. Following this, Otter will perform life extension services for an operational Intelsat satellite, ensuring prolonged operational capabilities through onboard propulsion systems.<\/p>\n

Dr. Trevor Bennett, Co-Founder of Starfish Space, expressed enthusiasm about supporting Intelsat and highlighted the transformative impact of Otter in enhancing satellite operations.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that this mission with Intelsat marks the beginning of a new era where on-orbit servicing becomes integral to satellite operations globally.<\/p>\n
