GMV promotes international discussion of the ground segment’s future at GMV Users Conference (GUC’25)

From June 25th to 27th, the GMV Users Conference (GUC’25) was held in the Spanish city of Segovia. This was the 8th edition of this gathering organized by GMV, a leading multinational technology firm for satellite control systems. More than 70 worldwide representatives from space agencies, satellite operators, and aerospace manufacturers gathered for three days, to get a first‑hand look at the latest innovations in ground segment solutions, and to discuss technological challenges in the industry.

This conference has now become a leading international technical and strategic event, which combines presentations, roundtable discussions, and product demos. Some of the key topics addressed at this year’s edition were evolution of the ground segment as new players enter, integration of disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence, operational sustainability, and emerging challenges related to cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection.

During the event, GMV also presented its latest technological solutions, including Hifly®, a satellite monitoring and control tool; Flexplan®, focused on advanced mission planning; CosmicGuard, for the cyber protection of ground systems; Ecosstm®, a system designed for space situational awareness and orbital traffic management; and PitIA, an AI-based solution for early anomaly detection. All of these tools were demonstrated in practical sessions that gave attendees a chance to test their functionality in real operating environments.

In addition to its technological focus, GUC’25 offered a platform for sharing operational experiences and strengthening international cooperation among the various players in the space ecosystem. The participating entities included the Spanish Space Agency (AEE), Alén Space, Avanti, Bundeswehr, the European Space Agency (ESA), Eutelsat, Hellassat, Hisdesat, Hispasat, InmediaT, Infinite Orbits, Maxar, MEASAT, the Spanish Ministry of Defense, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Pasifik Satelit Nusantara, Redwire Space NV, ROSA, Sateliot, SES, SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation, Space42, Space Norway, Starone, Thales, Turksat, and Xoople.
