Rafel Jordà champions the potential of the space economy and collaboration to boost European competitiveness and sovereignty at AMETIC.

Founder and CEO of Open Cosmos, Rafel Jordà Siquier, participated today in the round table "Space as an engine of economic growth", held as part of the 40th edition of the AMETIC Digital Economy and Telecommunications Summit.

During the debate, Rafel highlighted the need to drive the growth of innovative companies, mobilise investments on a larger scale, address Europe's shortage of launchers, and foster collaboration across the space ecosystem to boost European competitiveness and technological sovereignty. He also stressed the need for Spain and Europe to invest with a global outlook to compete with world leaders.

"Collaboration within the ecosystem is the key... We must join forces, foster collaboration between companies, institutions and knowledge centres, and continue to build capabilities so that Spain can compete and lead on a global scale."

UK Gov selects Open Cosmos as approved provider for £8bn sovereign comms framework

Open Cosmos has been selected by the British Government Commercial Agency (GCA) as an officially certified partner for the £8 billion TacSys framework, providing satellite connectivity via our low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation, ConnectedCosmos. Running until June 2034, TacSys will integrate innovative private sector technologies into Ministry of Defence (MoD) capabilities for secure, resilient communications.

ConnectedCosmos serves as a multi-layer LEO architecture directly aligned with the MoD's £7.5bn investment in the Digital Backbone and Targeting Web. By using Optical Inter-Satellite-Links (ISL), data routes directly between satellites without touching the ground, bypassing subsea cables and delivering real-time, actionable intelligence straight into tactical networks.

"The British government recognises the need for a modern, sovereign-controlled satellite network over the UK, one which will not only deliver high speed connectivity, but one that offers secure data transfer and layered architecture options for future readiness. We’ve been working tirelessly to build capability that directly serves governments and maps to their specific needs, not a solution that has to be retrofitted for purpose. We want to meet users where they are, and our selection as a key partner in this programme is a stamp of approval that we are taking the right approach."

A glimpse behind the scenes - Just 6 of the satellites preparing to leave our Harwell facility.

These satellites represent just a fraction of the pipeline rolling off our 24/7 assembly lines in Harwell. With functional and environmental testing currently underway across the full batch. We are officially gearing up for the next phase of the ConnectedCosmos constellation.

ConnectedCosmos will enable direct point-to-point communications, delivering a truly sovereign global capability. By bypassing undersea cables entirely, this architecture removes the need to touch the public internet, introducing a brand-new level of network resiliency to the satcom sector.

Turning this level of capability into reality is a massive effort from the entire team.

The aftermath of the wildfire across the New Forest.

The major wildfire near Poulner Hill and the A31 has left a devastating mark on the New Forest’s delicate heathland. As crews work tirelessly on the ground and the smoke clears, Earth observation provides the clear, high-resolution data needed to assess the true impact across the landscape.

This false colour satellite image tracks the blaze and reveals the full extent of the burn scars left behind following the 10-day fire.

Our thoughts remain with the local communities affected, the emergency services, and all those dedicated to the long-term habitat recovery efforts.
