Boosting the future of small satellites at SmallSat Symposium 2025

In February, GMV participated in the tenth edition of the SmallSat Symposium, held in Silicon Valley, Mountain View, California. SmallSat Symposium has established itself as one of the most influential global events in the field of small satellites, bringing together leaders and experts from the public, private, and government sectors to analyze and anticipate the changes that will define the future of the SmallSat market.

This year’s conference explored the trends and challenges that will shape the industry in 2025, including technological breakthroughs, emerging regulations, and investment opportunities. In a dynamic global context, SmallSats continue to account for around 95% of satellite launches, demonstrating their strategic relevance in applications such as connectivity, Earth observation, and space services.

The event covered a wide variety of topics, including the impact of megaconstellations; the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, IoT, and cloud computing; and the growth of in-orbit services. These discussions provided a critical perspective on the future of the industry and highlighted the importance of international collaboration and constant innovation.

GMV played a prominent role in the event, with a stand where it showcased its most advanced products, including Hifly, its satellite control solution; Focussuite, for flight dynamics; Flexplan, for mission planning; Magnet, for ground station monitoring and control; Smart Payload, for payload management; Focusoc, offering a collision avoidance service; and Prodigi, specializing in data processing.

By participating in the event, GMV reaffirmed its commitment to leadership and innovation in the space sector, positioning itself as a key partner in the development of new solutions for future challenges. 

In addition to GMV, Alén Space also participated in SmallSat Symposium, reflecting its key role as a standard-bearer in the integration of advanced technology for CubeSats and as a provider of groundbreaking solutions for the SmallSat sector.
