Editor’s Note: This is quite an achievement to have a satellite in the extreme environment of space for that long.  Lockheed Martin did quite a good job on engineering this communications satellite.

The U.S. Air Force’s Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) B8 satellite, built by Lockheed Martin, has surpassed its 10-year design life of on-orbit service in providing secure and reliable communications capabilities for the warfighter.

Launched from Cape Canaveral on Jan. 20, 2000, the B8 satellite is one of 14 DSCS III spacecraft designed and built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems for the MILSATCOM Systems Wing at the Air Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif.

Editor’s Note: This is a very interesting device from Iridium.  Many applications are going to be developed using this matchbox sized two-way communication device.   Right off the back I am thinking we might see some add-on accessories to give satellite capabilities to different devices.   We are waiting to get our hands on one and look at the interface.

The Iridium 9602 is a full-duplex short-burst data (SBD) transceiver designed for embedded applications in the rapidly growing market for remote asset tracking and monitoring solutions. The product, which is the culmination of a two-year R&D program, has completed prototype testing, and Iridium expects to begin commercial deliveries in June.

Editor’s Note: We are very excited to see this service moving forward and have the ability to offer this to our customers that need an integrated solution of a smartphone that also has satellite capabilities.  According to the website, this service’s coverage will be the United States (Including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada.

It looks like they will be using 3G technology and an external satellite antenna when you are not in coverage of a 3G signal.  The most important thing we are looking for is what the price point will be for the per minute charge when you are using satellite roaming.  We will keep you posted.

TerraStar - Mobile communications provider TerreStar Networks Inc. (TerreStar), a majority-owned subsidiary of TerreStar Corporation , announced today an agreement between TerreStar and AT&T to bring to market the first fully integrated satellite cellular smartphone.

Using one phone number and one device, users will be able to access voice and data services in the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and offshore coastal waters over either the AT&T cellular network or the TerreStar satellite network.
