On a Milsatmagazine (MSM) interview, they asked NewSat on their approach on the United States Government (USG) market. NewSat’s Senior Director-Americas Diego Paldao answered that it is through partnerships with their partners, prime contractors, resellers and integrators.
“As a satellite operator we can certainly evaluate what USG contract vehicles are a fit with our business. However, we are primarily interested in approaching the USG market by working closely with our partners, not by competing with them. We will provide our part-satellite capacity, so our partners can provide the complete end-to-end solution,” said Paldao.
He also said that hosted payloads are certainly a topic of key interest and discussion today towards all satellite operators. There is a strong military and diplomatic relationship between Australia and the United States which is a logical start for discussion about the hosted payloads on the NewSat fleet. They will surely depend heavily on the guidance of their partners who have been in their area for so long. It is through direct solicitation from the USG that NewSat will be able to guarantee their satellites designed to support future missions in projected areas of operation.
