Jorge Ciccorossi holds an electronics engineering degree from the National University of Technology in Buenos Aires.

The ITU Radiocommunications Bureau’s Space Strategy and Sustainability Division monitors whether satellite constellations are deployed in compliance with the Radio Regulations.

SpaceX and incumbent GEO operators traded filings over spectrum-sharing rules ahead of WRC-27.

The Radio Regulations govern spectrum and orbital resources for the ITU’s 194 member states.

Jorge Ciccorossi has represented the ITU Radiocommunications Bureau at every World Radiocommunication Conference since 2003.

Jorge Ciccorossi is the sole presenter of a SmallSat Europe Market Brief titled “The Fight for Frequencies: Preparing European Priorities for WRC-27.”

In January 2026, a single filing submitted through Rwanda proposed hundreds of thousands of satellites.

Telefónica España will adapt 5G NR for the defense and security sector and provide integration with terrestrial 5G networks and military interoperability capabilities.

The collaboration will validate interoperability between different network types and improve resilience and global coverage in complex scenarios.

Sateliot will contribute its low-Earth-orbit satellite connectivity platform for its 5G NTN IoT operations and services.

The Telefónica España-Sateliot collaboration focuses on 5G New Radio Non-Terrestrial Networks solutions.

The Telefónica España-Sateliot collaboration combines terrestrial mobile networks with low-Earth-orbit satellites in a hybrid architecture.

Telefónica España and Sateliot conducted an end-to-end demonstration in July 2023 that validated standard roaming between Telefónica’s network and Sateliot’s LEO network using a conventional SIM card.

The collaboration will develop joint technology pilots and advanced satellite 5G NR connectivity functions for critical communications.

The Telefónica España-Sateliot collaboration aims to expand coverage in remote, maritime, and no-network areas and support critical security and defense services.

The July 2023 demonstration was supervised by the European Space Agency.

Telefónica España has signed a collaboration agreement with Sateliot to apply 5G NR technology in space.

Halter’s new feature set includes an all-in-one heat detection tool, behavioral monitoring, satellite-based forage insight, advanced pasture management capabilities, grazing plans and templates, and comprehensive grazing records.

Halter serves more than 2,000 customers across its operating markets.

Halter’s largest-ever product upgrade for beef ranchers includes reproduction management, animal behavior analysis, and precision pasture tools.

Halter expects availability in Australia and Canada to follow.

Halter’s satellite-enabled smart collars are commercially available to beef ranchers in the United States and New Zealand.

Halter’s smart cattle collars communicate directly via satellite without requiring cell towers or on-ranch infrastructure.

Halter has sold more than 1 million collars worldwide.

Halter’s direct-to-satellite connectivity eliminates the need for fixed ground infrastructure to operate.

High Lonesome Ranch in western Colorado covers 225,000 acres of complex, remote terrain.

Halter’s behavioral monitoring provides near real-time insight into grazing, rumination, and other indicators of cattle performance and health.

Halter’s internal modeling estimates that satellite connectivity expands its addressable U.S. beef cattle market by 2.5 times.

Halter is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, and has U.S. operations in Colorado.

Halter’s previous collars depended on proprietary long-range radio towers installed on each ranch.

Halter’s satellite-enabled virtual fencing is now available to beef operations in the United States and New Zealand.

Halter has integrated Starlink connectivity into its solar-powered, GPS-enabled smart collars.

Halter’s collars are solar-powered and GPS-enabled, and each collar combines virtual fencing, active herd guidance, and real-time animal monitoring.

High Lonesome Ranch was among the first operations to deploy Halter’s satellite-enabled system.

NASA is considering raising the maximum spending authority for its Commercial Lunar Payload Services program from $2.6 billion to $4.2 billion.

Firefly Aerospace’s CLPS award included a Canadian Space Agency rover.

Firefly Aerospace received a $176.7 million CLPS task order to deliver two rovers and three scientific instruments to the Moon’s South Pole region.

NASA has stated that commercial deliveries to the lunar surface support science experiments, technology tests, and capability demonstrations intended to lay the foundation for sustained human presence on the Moon as part of the Artemis campaign.

NASA established CLPS to acquire lunar delivery services from commercial vendors for NASA science and technology payloads to the Moon’s surface and orbit.

NASA has awarded 11 lunar delivery task orders to five of the 13 CLPS vendors.

NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program has already awarded 11 lunar missions to five contractors.

NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program currently has 13 contractors.

The Firefly Aerospace task order was the company’s fifth CLPS task order and fourth lunar mission.

NASA’s CLPS contracts are firm-fixed-price, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity agreements under FAR Part 12 commercial services provisions.

NASA currently plans 15 commercial lunar deliveries through 2028.

The proposed CLPS modification would apply across all 13 companies currently holding CLPS contracts.

In March 2026, Intuitive Machines received a $180.4 million CLPS task order to deliver NASA-funded science and technology to the lunar surface.

NASA’s special notice on the CLPS ceiling increase was posted on April 27 by Johnson Space Center in Houston to SAM.gov.

The proposed CLPS ceiling increase would expand NASA’s ordering authority by $1.6 billion.

NASA is accepting electronic qualifications for the proposed CLPS contract modification until 4 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
