Parsimoni

As someone focused on building real, long-term business relationships, I know the power of face-to-face meetings — even if they're short. That's why I'm headed to Space Tech Expo Europe | B2B Matchmaking 2025 between 18 November 2025 and 20 November 2025 in Bremen — to meet decision-makers and innovators from all around the world. Numerous sessions, plenty of insights, and 1:1 time that could lead to something great. Let me know if you're attending — I'd love to connect. #RelationshipBuilding #B2BNetworking #SpaceTechExpoEuropeB2BMatchmaking2025 #b2match

The "Hack a satellite from the inside" has officially started. Thank you for all those who started to hack. And for those who could not make it to our kickoff webinar - there is a second webinar scheduled next Monday - https://lnkd.in/e_p2z-6f It is still not too late to start hacking :)

This is the week of Cysat https://cysat.eu/ ! Please meet us at Station F in Paris on the 14th or the 15th. On the 14th in the afternoon, you may also be interested in our talk "SpaceOS: Performance, Flexibility, Security (choose three), in which we will officially launch our hackathon, which will give the opportunity for one company to validate their software in orbit at no charge (thanks to our partner DPhiSpace)! And for cyber hackers, we offer cash prizes and the chance to join a very cool team. I am looking forward to many great discussions!

Are you sure your satellite delivers the best possible value for you and your clients? We at Parsimoni have identified several areas where inefficiencies may exist 1. Use of cloud-based software stacks: In discussions with satellite integrators and operators, we often hear about using more or less standard Linux and Kubernetes containers (of course, tailored for the satellite hardware and software environment), which are very similar to cloud applications. This works well, no doubt about it - but did you know that there are alternatives (alternatives that do the same) that are up to 20x smaller? You can have in the same (in orbit storage) space 20x more applications, applications that would not only take less space but also would need fewer processor resources and less memory - increasing the value of your satellite as they make more missions and more projects possible with the same resources. 2. Use of generic operating systems: Most satellite integrators use custom software stacks based on generic OS platforms. While this in itself is typically not an issue (except the topic in point 4), custom software stacks require engineering time to tailor them to the satellite, engineering time that is costly and could be deployed for other, more value-adding tasks. For developers of in-orbit payload software, if the same software should run on a different satellite - much of the code has to be rewritten for the other satellites’ (also custom) software stack. Not very efficient. 3. Underutilized onboard processing resources: Many satellites have a well-defined scope - and they do their task. That task may require 10-30-50% of the onboard computing resources, and the resources sit idle for the rest of the time. Other satellites are built for shared payloads - offering customers the chance to benefit from the in-orbit resources. In both cases, there is unused capacity in orbit that could be monetized, for example, for in-orbit data processing. A very often missed opportunity 4. Cyber challenges: Lastly, cyber security is a genuine concern for the satellite industry. No one disagrees - many satellites are very easy to hack. As most satellites are developed with limited security layers (and those are “security after the fact,” not “secure by design”), the risk is getting larger as more and more satellites are launched and more and more use cases are put in place. Some experts argue this is how it is, and not much can be done, especially for satellites already in orbit. There are options to reduce the cyber risk, but are you aware of and considering them? I hope you agree with the author of this post: inefficiencies exist, and satellites can be more valuable by addressing them. In the following posts, we will give you one example of unleashing that value with minimum extra effort.
