Global satellite provider Inmarsat says it has recorded a throughput speed in access of 300 megabits per second during live satellite tests of its new Global Xpress (GX) platform, the first high-speed broadband network with global coverage. The first round of over-the-air tests, held in January 2017, were conducted in conjunction with VT iDirect, Inmarsat’s strategic technology partner for the GX platform, using iDirect’s next-generation DVB-S2X technology. During the tests, Inmarsat says it achieved a forward channel throughput rate of 330 Mbps over a live Inmarsat GX satellite in orbit. “These tests demonstrate Inmarsat’s commitment to the continuing development of our GX platform, which will be supported by our next generation of satellites, which are already under construction” said Michele Franci, CTO of Inmarsat. “It is important to note that these results were not achieved in laboratory conditions but over a live GX satellite in orbit. We will be able to increase the capabilities of the world’s first, globally available high-speed broadband network and meet the ever escalating bandwidth demands of users.” For comparison, the internet I have at my house has a download speed of about 29.1 Mbps, which is enough to stream multiple HD videos on multiple devices – which I do all the time.

SAN FRANCISCO — For more than a year, mobile satellite services provider Inmarsat has been working with Addvalue Innovation (AVI), a communications technology company based in Singapore, to conduct secret tests of a service that lets operators maintain continuous contact with small satellites in low Earth orbit. Now, the companies are ready to offer the Inter-satellite Data Relay Service (IDRS) to satellite operators. “We are excited about this opportunity because strategically it opens a new market sector for us,” Peter Dingley, Inmarsat vice president for future government technologies, told SpaceNews. “With just three satellites in geosynchronous orbit we can see these small satellites as they are spinning around Earth constantly and communicate with them.” - See more at: http://spacenews.com/after-months-of-secret-in-space-testing-inmarsat-avis-satellite-data-relay-service-exits-stealth-mode/#sthash.O6qjJ5jw.dpuf

FT article today putting more flesh on the Takeover theory. US company, that could afford to pay at least £10 per share. If M&A gets momentum this year. Just a theory expanding on the Macquarie note aiming for £8.50 Bodes well for £7.50 next week, having seen the FT article,. Open Monday £7.20 ish

Echo star could pay over 10 pounds a share.15 would be better.

Private rocket firm SpaceX has successfully launched a rocket carrying a cargo ship for the International Space Station following the postponement of take-off on Saturday because of technical problems. Witnesses said the rocket was only briefly visible before making its way into the clouds. The launch was made from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The rocket successfully landed on the ground nine minutes after taking off. The touchdown is part of the company's strategy of returning rockets to earth so they can reused rather than jettisoning them in the ocean after a single launch. Moments after the rocket landed, the SpaceX Dragon supply ship successfully reached orbit, prompting cheers inside the SpaceX Mission Control room.

Last month SpaceX resumed flights by launching a Falcon 9 vehicle from the Vandenberg Air Force Base on the California coast. It was the first mission by the company since one of its vehicles exploded on the launch pad in September. Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, wants his company to be at the forefront of the race involving several companies to deploy satellite-based internet services over the next few years. The company also has a long queue of customers all waiting for a ride to orbit - including America's civil space agency (Nasa), the US military and multiple outfits in the commercial sector. But September's launch pad mishap was a spectacular reminder of just how unpredictable rockets can be sometimes.
