One of the opening panels of Satellite Show 2019 dealt with the keys of the industry for the coming years. VP and general manager of Lockheed Martin's Commercial Civil Space, Lisa Callahan, said that "intelligent satellites" will have a new mission from their orbits, which could even hatch the sector's value chain, by eliminating intermediaries. "We will talk more about artificial intelligence when operating satellites. If you can re-program them, you need more security. Our military and government clients have asked a lot about security capabilities", he said.
