Two days in Munich - the insights, connections and take-aways to move your programs forward. Register below and join us in June.

Two full days, two focused themes

Day 1, Tuesday, June 16: Sovereignty and security in space

Keynote: Dr. Alexander Orellano, Executive Vice President Technology Systems

Focus topics: European sovereignty and security in space

In a complex geopolitical context, ensuring independent access, secure communications, and strategic autonomy is crucial. The sessions will examine space sovereignty as both a security and infrastructure challenge, addressing the protection of satellite communications and the need to strengthen European technological autonomy.

Day 2, Jun 17: Testing for new space

Keynote: Christina Gessner, Executive Vice President Test & Measurement Division

Focus topics: Non-terrestrial networks, digitization and virtualization in space, constellation manufacturing at scale

As satellite systems evolve from single missions to large constellations integrated with NTNs, testing and validation must keep pace with growing complexity and accelerated development cycles. Discussions will focus on scalable, end-to-end testing approaches and how they enable faster development, reliable performance and efficient deployment of next-generation satellite systems.

Attendee takeaways

  • Industry insights into SatCom and RF spectrum monitoring, GNSS jamming & spoofing, AESA antenna verification, ground station digitization and virtualization, 5G NTN deployment and more
  • A closer look at the satellite testing lifecycle, with hands-on demonstrations of Rohde & Schwarz solutions supporting satellite testing and NTN validation
  • Regulatory and spectrum insight to support architecture decisions, improve compliance readiness and reduce rework
  • Partner perspectives from across the satellite ecosystem, highlighting complementary capabilities and practical collaboration across the testing and development toolchain

Relevant for professionals working on:

  • Satellite OEM and integrator programs (system and program roles, lead engineering)
  • AESA and phased-array antenna development,validation and production
  • New Space start-ups building CubeSats and user terminals
  • 5G/NTN planning, architecture and regulatory alignment
  • Regulatory and standards activities (spectrum, coexistence, policy)
