In today’s episode, we’re celebrating the Catapult’s 10th anniversary, reflecting on a fantastic decade of ground-breaking innovations and achievements.

The Satellite Applications Catapult has made remarkable strides in advancing satellite technology and its applications. Through innovative research and development, the Catapult has made significant contributions to various sectors – energising these markets, empowering the use of new technologies, and enabling businesses to exploit the power of space.

Over the last 10 years, the Catapult has facilitated enhanced connectivity in remote areas, supported small island nations to build resilience to the devastating impacts of climate change, and started our journey towards establishing a truly renewable energy source from space, and much more besides – all while fostering collaborations between academia, businesses, and government organisations – demonstrating their commitment to pushing the boundaries of satellite technology and leveraging its potential for the betterment of society.
