1:00 PM – 1:30 PM		Unveiled Theater	Redefining Satellite Access at the Enterprise Edge \| As more and more satellites are launched, more and more services are delivered. In this new on-demand world, delivering services manually in weeks and months is not a scalable option. OpenEdge makes it possible to say goodbye to fixed hardware-based terminals and hello to flexible, software-defined terminals that run everything necessary to support a service and scale to meet demand – all in a single box. In this session, learn how OpenEdge terminals bring power to the network edge and: • Scale with edge native apps • Lower CAPEX and footprint • Reduce costly site visits • Eliminate vendor lock-In • Enhance security
1:30 PM – 2:30 PM		Via Satellite Theater	Small Satellite Standardization to Elevate Commercial and Classified Defence Missions \| Join us for an insightful discussion exploring satellite standardization. NanoAvionics Business Development Manager Andrew Swain will present how standardized satellite buses set the NewSpace performance standard in agile mission development, longevity, reliability, and how they can accommodate the varying requirements of commercial and classified missions. Harald Aarø, the Executive Vice President for Space & Surveillance for Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, will provide a real-world example of how small satellites are transforming maritime surveillance by integrating different layers of technology to achieve unprecedented data latency. James Tinsley, Vice President of Business Development & Strategy for Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, will contextualize how the low-latency situational awareness solutions presented by Harald can be applied to typical defense applications such as satellite-based targeting. Following the presentation, participants will be able to join an interactive discussion to raise questions and receive answers. We invite you to join us as we navigate the landscape of small satellite technology that looks beyond launch success. Presenters: Andrew Swain, Business Development Manager at Kongsberg NanoAvionics Harald Aarø, Executive Vice President for Space & Surveillance for Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace James Tinsley, Vice President of Business Development & Strategy for Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace
2:00 PM – 2:30 PM		Unveiled Theater	The Importance of Spacecraft Agility for Today’s Missions \| Join us for a discussion about the importance of orbital situational awareness and how enhanced spacecraft agility can better support your missions. Spacecraft situational awareness refers to the knowledge of the precise location of your spacecraft at any given moment, safely making maneuvers and understanding the relation to other objects in orbit. As the space domain continues to be more congested and contested, the ability to maneuver quickly and maintain accurate spacecraft pointing knowledge is imperative to mission success. As a leading small satellite bus and components provider, Blue Canyon Technologies offers industry-leading pointing accuracy innate to our attitude control systems. In this discussion, we will be highlighting our latest one-of-a-kind mission capability called “OATS,” or “Optimized Attitude Trajectory System.” This technology can greatly increase mission utility by maximizing imagery collection and providing even greater pointing accuracy for situational awareness. We look forward to sharing more and discussing how this technology can support your mission needs! Presenter: Chris Winslett, Blue Canyon Technologies (BCT), General Manager
3:00 PM – 3:30 PM		Unveiled Theater	Carrier Ethernet Over Satellite: Zero Touch Service Deployments in Minutes \| As more and more satellites are launched, more and more services are delivered.
