Sky and Space Global - Ready to launch - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[Di2]

A company that may actually make the world a better place for the poorest regions on earth would pique the interest of any investor…

… especially when said company is attempting to initially provide cheaper data, voice, and instant messaging services to over 4 billion people.

This company is planning to launch three nano-satellites (artificial satellites that weigh less than 10kg) into orbit; which will form an initial pilot telecommunications network, enabling telcos back on earth to buy inexpensive bandwidth that may once have been inaccessible.

This isn’t an entirely altruistic endeavour – after two to three years and on completion of its first 100 nano-sat equatorial constellation, this company expects to generate annual revenues of $300-500 million.

This $17M capped company is fully funded for first launch, following a recent $4.6 million capital raising, and the team is vastly experienced in this field; having previously launched Israel’s first nano-satellite, that is still operating now.

The business model has been validated, with recent news of a binding Letter of Intent by a leading Pan-African telco to purchase all available bandwidth from its initial nano-satellite platform.

It already has a launch date for these three nano satellites (or three diamonds as they are known) for the second quarter of 2017 on a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PLSV), and recently secured a contract with a leading ‘launch broker’.

It’s initially targeting a market around the equator (latitudes 15 North to 15 South) which has been chronically underutilised by the telecommunications industry at large – and where there are billions without an internet connection.
Better yet, this company’s satellites will be low-cost meaning it can outmanoeuvre and lowball traditional telecommunications companies quicker than you can say ‘bidding war’.

This company is aiming to disrupt the current satellite phone market and beat the likes of high cost, existing players Globalstar and Iridium to market in a potential $20 billion industry.

This is still an early-stage tech play though, so be wary of putting all your eggs in this basket and apply caution to your investment decision.

The pitch

Here’s the play: unloved ASX shell Burleson Energy recently switched focus to the high-flying (or orbiting) world of nano-satellites through a reverse takeover of UK-based Sky and Space Global (ASX:SAS).

The acquisition was completed on 13 May 2016 in accordance with shareholder approval obtained on 1 April.

The Company issued 228,716,185 fully paid ordinary shares to investors with performance shares also issued to Sky & Space Global UK shareholders in the form of:

US$100,000 in cash consideration (paid);

AU$15.6M is scrip consideration (780 million post consolidation ordinary shares and 300 million post consolidation performance shares).

These will be paid out in three tranches:

The first will see 100 million shares allocated on execution of launch contract within 18 months.

The second tranche sees another 100 million shares on full validation and confirmation of launch ready nano-satellite.

Finally, the third tranche of 100 million will be delivered on the successful launch, testing and delivery of communication of 2 nano-sats.

To seal the deal the company raised $4.6MN at a pre-consolidation share price of 0.4c (2.0 cents per share post consolidation), which was in excess of the minimum raising amount required to complete the acquisition – this funding is expected to take the company up to the launch of SAS’s initial “3 diamonds” pilot network.

SAS is UK based but has an Israeli brains trust, which is already well-versed in the creation of satellites for low-orbit.

The key differentiator between what SAS will be doing and what you see major telecommunications companies doing is scale.

300-500 million per year, presold

https://www.businessnews.com.au/article/Burleson-secures-100…

Burleson Energy acquisition target Sky and Space Global (SSG) have pre-sold 100% of the telecommunications bandwidth capacity from their first constellation of “nano-satellites” expected to be launched into space around 2017.

The pre-sale binding Letter of Intent is with Pan-African communications company Sat-Space Africa who boast operations across 27 African companies....

After the success of its initial 2-3 nano-satellite trial (Anfang 2017), SSG intends to build a significant constellation of nano-satellites in space numbering up to 200 units.

The company says that just 100 units should provide revenues of between $300m and $500m a year for the company via the sale of up to 1,000,000,000 minutes of air time per annum to the phone and messaging market plus bandwidth of 10,000 mhz/year .

Good Times Ahead !!!

Anbei zwei interessante Post aus dem HC Forum

http://hotcopper.com.au/threads/100-off-take.2782890/page-83…

Status Quo:
So at current price MC diluted = $35m (1.2B shares + 800k options + 100m performance M1 X current price)
There long term goal is to launch 100 nanosatellites in the next 2-3years. From these launches they expect revenue of $300-$500m (I think thats the highest revenue target set by any ASX penny)

Proof of concept already complete as theyve designed, built and launched one nanosatellite thats been fully operation for 18months with no problems.

Short term goal is to launch 3 nanosats by Q2 of 2017. Theyve already landed a contract with Innovation and space logistics(http://www.isispace.nl/corporate-structure/) already to launch these 3 nanosats (this was there milestone 1 which they delivered why ahead of their 18month timeframe).

They have also landed a commercial agreement with Sat-Space Africa Ltd (leading pan-african communication company) for their 3nanostat launch so they have a buyer for the bandwidth and data.

Just going of the figures for 100nanosatellites:
100nanostats =
$300-$500m revenue
10,000mhz bandwidth/year
1Billion min calltime/year

So that means Q2 2017
3nanostats =
$10-$15m revenue
303mhz bandwidth/year
30million min calltime/year
Compare this with the operational/maintanence costs of the 3nanostats of about $3-4m(which has already been raised) this leads to a profit of at least $7m.

Their disruptive advantages:
- Can provide comms to remote areas of the world that previous had no reception especially targeting africa
- Cheaper than tradition retail costs and data
- 1/8th of the size
- Lower opex and capex
- the team also looks like they want to move into space insurance?? "SSG team to consult global space industry (incl. space insurance)

[Di2]

Es ist auch klar, dass wir uns hier an einem sehr frühen Einstiegs-Zeitpunkt befinden. Ebenfalls bei HC habe ich diese kurze und knappe Zusammenfassung gefunden, was wir in den nächsten Monaten an News erwarten können.

1. New agreements for access from (initially) other equatorial telcos, Here are the telcos in South America. Add to this list all the others within the global equatorial band 15⁰ each side of the equator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operato…

2. Maybe a phone manufacturer wanting to provide the ‘total’ package of handsets, voice, data & messaging

Could be maker like Samsung or a ‘home-brand’ Indian or Chinese phone manufacturer. You know in India you can buy a ‘smart phone’ for less than $6 – just think of the marketing & promotional possibilities there alone!

http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/mobiles/worlds-cheapest-s…

3. Shipping (cruise & / or container freight) companies wanting access

For example, this is what “Harris CapRock “ provides for over 400 vessels at sea -

http://www.harriscaprock.com/markets/maritime-market/maritim…
​
4. Different governments wanting coverage for Military, Emergency Services special access for flood, fire, wind, high tide alerts etc.

To the contrary "elee", I believe there is going to be significant and frequent news flow featuring deals and agreements, MOU’s and the like. In a few months’ time we’ll be at a totally different price level.

Major NanoSat Construction Milestone Passed

http://hotcopper.com.au/threads/ann-major-nanosat-constructi…

Es passiert was !

Major Nano-Satellite Construction Milestone Successfully Passed Preliminary Design Review Completed – Construction to Commence in Q3

Highlights
• Major construction milestone for the “3 Diamonds” nano-satellites completed, on schedule
• Sky and Space Global (SAS) have successfully completed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) with leading European aerospace construction partner, GomSpace
• Successful completion of the PDR ensures that the Company’s nano-satellite technology meets all accepted global physical and functional requirements for launch
• Signifies an important milestone in the construction of SAS’s nano-satellites, allowing the Company to immediately proceed to the Critical Design Review (CDR) stage
• 3 Diamonds construction remains on schedule to commence in Q3 2016
• Q2 2017 launch contract executed for Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)

Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise it has achieved a major construction milestone with the completion of its Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of its nano-satellite design at construction partner, GomSpace.
Sky and Space Global’s aerospace construction partner, GomSpace is a world leading, European based nano-satellites contractor that offers full mission solutions for the global space industry and is actively involved in the research and demonstration of nano-satellite infrastructure.
The Company is pleased to confirm that GomSpace has successfully passed the PDR milestone. The PDR is a critical assessment conducted on the overall design of Sky and Space Global’s nano-satellites to verify that they meet accepted global specifications and requirements.
As part of the PDR, the SAS team analysed all mission aspects and all nano-satellite components, with special attention given to the expected performance at operational scenarios, as well as the Company’s requirements for the production and delivery of the commercial in-space demonstration of 3 nano-satellites.

According to the company's code of conduct, SAS is working and complying with all European Space Agency (ESA) regulations for nano-satellites, including space debris mitigation. The 3 Diamonds nano-satellites will be the first commercial nano-satellites to satisfy all such regulations.

The completion of a PDR is an important milestone in the construction of the Company’s nanosatellites
and is required prior to launch in space in Q2 2017. The construction of SAS’s 3 Diamonds
nano-satellites are on schedule to commence in Q3 2016, with the launch on the Indian Polar
Satellite Launch Vehicle in less than 12 months.

Sky and Space Global’s CTO Mr. Meidad Pariente said:
“Successfully passing the PDR, is a critical project milestone for the production of our first 3 nanosatellites.
It verifies our initial design and assumptions, it lowers the risk of schedule delays,
providing us with an additional layer of certainty. GomSpace is proving their credentials as a
capable and professional construction partner and we look forward to now progressing toward
the Critical Design Review milestone with them.”

GomSpace’s CTO Mr. Jacob Mølbach Nissen said:
“We are happy that SAS has approved the design we propose for the “3 Diamonds” satellites
and that things are running within schedule on the 3 Diamonds project timeline. We very much
look forward to the next steps towards in-space demonstration during H2 2016”

0 Revenue:
BRN - $400m+ MC
ISX - $300m MC
RAP - $350m MC
TV2 - $85m MC
XPE - $220m MC

I dont disagree revenue wont hurt us at all, especially in these market conditions revenue generators are usually the ones that last in the end.
We do have some insane revenue targets however.

As for peer comparison
PSF - $100m+
ZIP - $120m
NOR - $120m
All which generated under $1-2m revenue if I'm correct.

While SAS is targeting $300-500m by 2020... a bit far away so lets look at closer picture.
From the 3nanostats diamond launch on Q2 2017 using interpolation gives a prediction of $10m.

All I'm saying is we dont need revenue to make a run, but it would definitely put odds in our favor

Key Development Milestone – Frequency Registration Commenced
Highlights
• Sky and Space Global has commenced the registration process with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to obtain a spectrum frequency for its operations • The ITU is the agency of the United Nations (UN) responsible for the coordination of all telecommunications operations and services globally • Sky and Space Global’s spectrum frequency registration has been approved by Ofcom, the United Kingdom’s official communications regulator, which is required by the ITU • Registration follows completion of a thorough due diligence process by Ofcom, which required technical and commercial validation of the Company’s offering and plans • Frequency registration is a vital milestone, required prior to the launch of the Company's three nano-satellites in Q2 2017 and will later be used for the entire constellation after BIU (Bring Into Use) in space. • Securing SAS’s own dedicated spectrum frequency will allow the Company to provide low cost communications coverage globally via its nano-satellite infrastructure
Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise it has successfully registered for a usable spectrum frequency for its operations through the ITU.
The ITU is the agency of the United Nations (UN) that is responsible for the coordination of telecommunications operations and services globally and requires compliance with the United Kingdom’s communications regulator, Ofcom.
Complying with Ofcom’s requirements provides substantial technical and commercial validation of Sky and Space Global’s offering and technical expertise. To register a spectrum frequency, Sky and Space Global has passed through a rigorous due diligence process by Ofcom, including the submission of technical and commercial data to validate the potential of its nano-satellite technology.
ITU’s filing procedures require four stages of fillings before a spectrum is registered and Sky and Space Global can report that its filing process is ahead of schedule. Further filings for the remaining stages are underway and are expected to complete shortly, with a contract to use the spectrum frequency for short term operations (SAS’s test phase constellation) expected to be signed in the coming month.

www.skyandspace.global Page 2 of 2
The nano-satellites in Sky and Space Global’s constellation will use mobile communication coverage in the S-Band and L-Band, inter satellite links in the S-Band and mission control in the S-Band and the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Band. These are the microwave bands that are used globally by telecommunications providers and communication satellites.
Registration of spectrum frequencies are a vital development milestone for the Company ahead of the launch of its initial constellation of three nano-satellites. Successful registration allows Sky and Space to commercialise its offering via the provision of low cost communications bandwidth globally.
Sky and Space Global’s CEO, Mr. Meir Moalem said: “Registering a spectrum frequency is another significant milestone needed for our operations ahead of the launch of our initial three pilot nano-satellites in Q2 2017 from India. It had been identified by us as a potential risk to our program, and although this is not the final registration stage, we are happy to be on track with our risk mitigation program. Complying with Ofcom’s requirements provides substantial validation of the technical and commercial potential of our technology, and we will keep on moving forward with the registration process.
“Access to frequency spectrums is essential for commercialising our nano-satellite technology via the provision of low cost mobile coverage globally, further de-risking Sky and Space Global’s value proposition.”

June Quarter Activity Review

Highlights
• High activity quarter, headlined with completing the acquisition of Sky and Space Global (UK) Ltd and commencement of trading on the ASX under the code “SAS”

• Appointment of experienced Space Industry Board and Commercial Management team and successful completion of $4.57 million capital raising to accelerate progress towards Launch

• Launch contract secured with leading launch broker, Innovation Space Logistics BV, for launch of Company’s initial three nano-satellites in Q2 2017

• Key development milestones achieved, including completion of Preliminary Design Review and appointment of a space insurance underwriter to place full launch insurance coverage to de-risk Company’s financial exposure to the pilot phase operations

• Letter of Intent signed with Virgin Galactic, for SAS to use Virgin’s launch Vehicle, LauncherOne, for the launch of full constellation of up to 200 nano-satellites
Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a review of its progress for the three-month period ending 30 June 2016.

Corporate
During the quarter, the Company’s shares commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the code “SAS”. The listing follows the successful completion of the 100% acquisition of Sky and Space Global (UK) Ltd by Sky and Space Global Ltd (previously Burleson Energy Ltd).
Capital Raising
As part of the listing process, the Company announced a successful capital raising of $4.57 million at a post-consolidation price of 2.0 cents per share, completed at the end of April.
Following the capital raise, the Company is well funded to its pilot phase operations and objectives with $3.85 million cash at bank at the end of the quarter.


Board and Management Team
Upon the settlement of the acquisition, the Company’s Board was structured as follows:
• Mr Peter Wall, Non-Executive Chairman
• Mr Meir Moalem, Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer
• Mr Brett Mitchell, Executive Director - Corporate
• Mr Yonatan Sharma, Non-Executive Director
• Ms Maya Glickman-Pariente, Non-Executive Director

Operations
Launch contract secured – launch set for Q2-2017
During the quarter, Sky and Space Global signed a launch contract securing launch on an ISRO Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) scheduled for Q2 2017. The contract was delivered through leading European launch broker, Innovation Space Logistics BV. The Company has a launch reservation for its initial three nano-satellites on the PSLV in Q2 2017.
Once launched, the three nano-satellites will form a pilot constellation and initial communications network, providing a significantly cheaper platform for voice, data and instant messaging services.



During the quarter, the Company completed its Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of its initial nano-satellites at leading European aerospace construction partner, Gomspace. The PDR is a critical assessment milestone conducted to ensure that the Company’s nano-satellite technology meets all accepted global functional and physical standards that are required before launch in space.

As part of the PDR, the Company’s nano-satellite design components were analysed for expected performance in a range of operational scenarios. Additionally, SAS’s nano-satellites will be the first commercial nano-satellite offering to fully comply with the European Space Agency’s new regulations concerning space debris migration.

Virgin Galactic Signed as Future Launch Provider
During the quarter, Sky and Space Global signed a Letter of Intent with Virgin Galactic to use Virgin Galactic’s orbital launch vehicle, LauncherOne, beginning in mid-2018 to launch the Company’s constellation of up to 200 nano-satellites.

Virgin Galactic’s launch vehicle, LauncherOne, will be dedicated to the nano-satellite market and will offer the Company a high degree of flexibility to achieve specific orbital parameters and launch windows and will deliver significant cost savings for Sky and Space Global, compared to the standard commercial market rates for launch costs.

Substantial Risk Mitigation with Construction and Launch Costs Fully Insured
To further de-risk the Company’s nano-satellite offering, Sky and Space Global has activated a space launch insurance policy to cover is construction and launch costs in full, which has substantially mitigated the risk of the Company’s initial launch in 2017. Market leading specialty insurer, Brit Global Specialty was selected following a proposal assessment process from multiple space underwriters.
The insurance covers all expenses in the event of a failed launch of the initial three nano-satellites, eliminating financial risk related to the launch.

Frequency Registration Commenced
Immediately subsequent to the end of the quarter, Sky and Space Global commenced the
registration process with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to obtain spectrum
frequency for its operations. Spectrum frequency is a key milestone required prior to launch and will
allow the Company to provide low cost communications coverage globally via its nano-satellite
infrastructure.

Outlook
During the past quarter, Sky and Space Global has achieved a number of important development
milestones for the initial “3 diamonds” launch in mid-2017, including securing a launch contract,
appointing a space insurance underwriter, completing a preliminary design review and
commencing the frequency registration process.

The Company has already secured its first commercial telecommunications customer (Sat-Space
Africa) and is currently working towards securing further strategic commercial partnerships in the
Equatorial belt countries across Africa and Asia. It will update the market with progress in this area in
the months to come.
With a new letter of intent signed with Virgin Galactic during the quarter, Sky and Space Globalcontinues to work collaboratively with Virgin Galactic for the launch of up to 200 of the Company’snano-satellites in 2018.

The Company remains on track for launch in mid-2017 and expects to achieve a number of further
development milestones in the coming quarter.

"SAS Globile" - Disruptive Global Mobile Co

SAS is most likely to provide existing mobile companies access to its nano-sat constellation, charging them a wholesale rate per minute or data usage. But what if SAS decided to start its very own mobile company and provide their own OEM handsets to customers and share with them this unique and very affordable communication connectivity platform?

The following are my thoughts about how this new ‘global mobile’ and utterly disruptive phone company would look like.

“SAS Globile”

– the cheapest Global Mobile phone network on the planet, offering true “AAA” service

Anyone * Anytime * Anywhere

The whole basis of this new SAS Globile communications system is that it be totally disruptive to any current voice / text hand held mobile phone system.
It should to be ……………

irresistibly affordable to diverse low income and varied ethnic social economic groups
super simple for any user to operate
supplied with ‘social networking apps’ to compliment ‘voice & text’ communication.
able to act as a personal banking / payment gateway system for “bank free” payment between users with a crypto currency like Bitcoin.


SAS to produce, market, supply & service its own OEM Smart ‘sat’ phone mobile handsets with “SAS Globile” branding.

NOTE - OEM mobile handset manufacturers in China, India, Russia, wherever, ………… to manufacture dedicated SAS Globile handsets to required specifications. Possibly on a ‘profit share’ JV basis. This option does NOT involve any current existing phone brand – Samsung, Apple or other. SAS source the manufacturer of these existing globally recognized brands.

Each handset to be ‘Dual Sim’ i.e. one SIM for SAS Globile and the other for additional data access SIM from another provider if handset owner wants / needs additional data.

NOTE - I don’t know how much data will be available as a ‘standard’ for SAS. I am assuming that there may be a need for additional data that is NOT available from SAS and / or the want for the phone user to have access to a secondary SIM card for whatever reason they may have. I simply see it as a nice “free’ option.

SAS Globile handset to have other ‘normal’ basic smart phone features ie selected free apps, camera, scanner, payment options etc.

NOTE - I am assuming an ‘Android’ based phone system. Apps to be provided, inclusive of the base price, would be apps essential for user benefits to enable..

location / directions,
providing and receiving payments (cards, EFT, PayPal, Bitcoin and other crypto)
social interaction, Facebook, Twitter, with others able to be downloaded by user as per their needs.


Phones can only be purchased online from the SAS Globile website, with payment via a range of secure payment options i.e. any credit card, crypto currency (Bitcoin) or electronic funds transfer (EFT)

NOTE - I am suggesting online only negating the need for on-ground fixed premises and associated costs. A fully interactive commercial site should be all that is required to facilitate transaction

SAS Globile website to be multi-lingual, fully interactive with a host of payment gateways to satisfy several simple handset and connectivity options that make this THE most unique and cheapest form of mobile connection to anyone, anytime, anywhere on planet Earth,……………………. and beyond!


NOTE - Site to have country selected Google translate to accommodate the full range of languages, coupled with all forms of payment options

Cost of phone (handset) to be ‘minimal’ – i.e. manufacture & delivery cost plus a small admin % charge.


NOTE - SEO manufacture should see a custom produced mobile hand set produced and packaged ready for delivery for approx. $40 USD. A JV with manufacturer would see the handsets produced on a profit share basis or in exchange in part for stock and or options.

NOTE – Cost of phone includes first month of access i.e. unlimited calls, text and an allocation of data.

NOTE – I am not aware of ongoing costs that would also need to allow for maintenance / upgrades & replacement of nano-sats…… this has to be factored into the phone cost per user.

Free delivery of handset anywhere on planet Earth.

NOTE - “Free” with conditions only applied if delivery is in and extremely remote location. Otherwise, the delivery costs are mainly subsidized and factored into the retail cost of the phone.

Phones can be used on land, sea and sky…… anyone, anytime, anywhere

NOTE - Initial coverage to be in the +/- 15⁰ equatorial belt and later expanded to other areas as additional nano-sats are deployed. I expect that additional mini-constellations might significantly increase user numbers in India and China.

One rate covers all access unlimited mobile voice and text.

NOTE - Like ’delivery’, any service cost anomalies can be factored into the general pricing to satisfy a ‘creed’ of “AAA” at the same price!

Additional data, over the supplied minimum on SIM, to be purchased via SASGlobile.com Data available


NOTE - I am not aware of the data restrictions. I can only assume that additional data can be purchased OR an alternative “local’ provider can be sourced to enable more data / internet connection when location and infrastructure permits.

A major benefit of the SAS Globile service could include the ability to provide and easy crypto currency payment system. I would even go so far as to suggest that each phone sold, includes and small ‘complimentary’ credit in the form or a partial Bitcoin. This credit could be used to offset SAS Globile subscription and or enable payments to be made by handset owners for purchasing goods &/or services.


NOTE - If not Bitcoin, then certainly some other easy form of payment.

There is currently approx. 1.6 Billion mobile phones in use within 15% +/- of the equator. This number represents about 22% of the world population. SAS suggests there is a possible new ‘connectable’ potential for 4 billion.

If 'only' 1 billion is achieved, including a proportion of the existing 1.6bill within the equatorial belt, that would represent ‘mega’ billions of minutes of nano-sat time per year that the company could wholesale to existing phone companies or maximize (retail) for its own mobile company.

All sorts of ‘plans’ and payment plans can be toyed with – whichever one was used, the numbers and associated profits are simply astounding! Ultimately, I would like to think that the monthly cost for unlimited use or a SAS Globile phone, may well be as little at $10 per month.

Obviously for this to work, a VERY sophisticated, fully automated billing system needs to be created to handle all billings / payments. I would imagine that this is already well in hand and waiting to be activated seamlessly.
It is also highly likely that the end user cost could be substantially offset in total by allowing ads to be served to both sender and / or receiver of calls and / or text.

...................................... just a thought!

Feedback eines Besuchers des heutigen Meetings in Sydney

Hi Everyone, I was the sole attendee at the Sydney leg (arrived at around 7pm) which was held at the Sofitel in Sydney.

I had a good 1.5hrs two on one with both Meir Moelem and Meidad Periente the CEO and CTO of Sky and Space. A lot of topics were discussed in depth, some information I will to keep to myself but I came away extremely confident in their technology and vision.

Key highlights:
- Africa Telecom agreement is not limited to the initial 3 Satellites, they may well require more bandwidth. A number of satellites wasn't stated but a lot of investors including myself had the impression that it was limited to the three diamonds. This is not the case.
- Ofcom have gone through the technology with a fine tooth comb and validated both the technical and commercial side. They have started frequency registration which is on target, but the launch can still happen if in the rare scenario approval hasn’t been granted. Satellites can be placed in orbit until they get entire approval (Management told me they expect frequency to be done beforehand so no issues there). They said frequency registration is a major hurdle to overcome (Other 'Wifi anywhere' type products will have an enormous task registering frequency as it will require a lot of bandwidth, they are years away from that stage, Google projects have failed due to this).
- End users will not, I repeat will not be having to invest hundreds of dollars into a Sat Phone. Meir told me their business model is substantially reduced. Management spent 2.5 years refining their strategy and go to market plan. They have a solution and they will tell us in due course
- Fully insured including any operational/delivery malfunctions.
- No Capital Raising as some have suggested.
- This is their baby to them, Meidad has worked on $100M+ global projects in the past and told me this is his lifeblood, they will move heaven and earth to make this a success. Reputations are on the line, they want to be known as the team with the 2020 vision.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Brett Mitchell (executive director), and a few of managements Isreali friends living in Sydney made an appearance. All in all it was fantastic. Many other things were discussed which I may share later but I had to write something before someone thinks this was a phantom trip with no retail investors in attendance!

Very limited downside imo, the team have nothing to hide. They are well aware of ResApps performance in the past and said they couldn't care less about the current price. Once their tech is proven this will fly to the moon and gain huge support. Dont sell yourself short on this one.

New Customers Secured for Initial Nano-satellite Phase

Highlights

• Sky and Space Global’s first wholesale customer, Sat-Space Africa, has secured new commercial contracts with customers for a portion of the Company’s bandwidth from its 3 demonstration nano-satellites – the “3 Diamonds”

• The 3 Diamonds are scheduled to be launched in Q2 2017

• New customers contracted by Sat-Space Africa provide further commercial validation of SAS’s nano-satellite technical capability and service offering

• Sat-Space Africa forecasts revenues from these new customers alone, using only a minor portion of bandwidth capacity created by 3 Diamonds commercial demonstration, of approximately USD$500,000 per annum, with the potential to grow up to USD$2 million with the full Equatorial constellation in operation

• Significant scope for further revenue generation from the excess capacity produced at the 3 Diamonds demonstration phase with a number of other third party discussions underway • Also demonstrates the revenue potential of SAS with the full Equatorial constellation of 200 nanosatellites having the ability to generate circa USD$500 million in annual revenues once in operation

• First commercial customers secured from key industry targets, including communication and tracking services for the animal, mineral, transportation data and transportation tracking industries

• SAS and Sat-Space Africa currently negotiating the progression of its binding Letter of Intent to a full commercial contract


Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that the Company’s first wholesale customer, Sat-Space Africa (SSA) has secured new commercial contracts to sell the Company’s nano-satellite communications bandwidth to end user customers. These customers are in addition to its own existing customer base.
In March 2016, the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent with Sat-Space Africa Ltd, which agreed to purchase all the available communication bandwidth that the Company can provide from its initial 3 Diamonds nano-satellite demonstration platform. Sat-Space Africa is a Pan-African communications company that has existing operations and infrastructure in 27 African countries. SatSpace Africa and the Company are currently negotiating the progression of its binding Letter of Intent to a full binding, commercial contract.


Securing new end user customers from key new industry targets like mineral (mining) and transportation tracking through SSA delivers potential early stage revenue generation for the Company’s nano-satellites and significantly de-risks Sky and Space Global’s offering.
The Sat–Space Africa forecast of revenue potential from these new customers alone for the 3 Diamonds demonstration nano-satellites is estimated at approximately USD$500,000 per annum whilst only utilising a small portion of the capacity produced at the 3 Diamond phase. There is the potential for these revenues to grow to circa USD$2 million per annum once the Company’s Equatorial constellation is fully operational.
The securing of these new industry customers by Sat-Space Africa, in addition to their existing customer base, and the revenue generation from only the 3 Diamonds, demonstrates the significant revenue potential of the full Equatorial constellation.
Sky and Space Global intends to launch an Equatorial constellation of up to 200 nano-satellites commencing from mid-2018. The quantum of bandwidth created from the full constellation of nanosatellites has the potential to generate revenues of circa USD$500 million revenue per annum.
The initial service agreements are with Sat-Space Africa and African based companies requiring communication and tracking bandwidth in the mineral, animal, transportation data and tracking industries.
Sky and Space Global’s CEO, Mr. Meir Moalem said:
“We are pleased to inform our shareholders that our 3 Diamonds demonstration nano-satellites are already securing commercial value. This is the result of hard work by our team and by our strategic customer, Sat-Space Africa. Together, we will strive to further increase our footprint, add customers and services and expand into new markets including Asia and Central America.”
Sat-Space Africa's MD, Mr. Shimri Lotan said:
“With the new solution from Sky and Space Global we have been able to expand our potential markets and secure revenues, once the service is commercial. We consider Sky and Space Global a strategic partner and will keep working with them to secure more agreements in the narrow-band communications market.”

Virgin Galactic signs Sky and Space Global as LauncherOne customer

http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Virgin_Galactic_Announces_…

Virgin Galactic signs Sky and Space Global as LauncherOne customer

Commercial spaceline Virgin Galactic reports that global communications company Sky and Space Global (ASX:SAS) has signed a binding launch services agreement to purchase four dedicated missions on the LauncherOne system.

Speaking at the World Satellite Business Week event in Paris, officials from the two companies revealed that these flights will enable the deployment of Sky and Space Global's initial constellation. Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Virgin Galactic also announced the capability to fly LauncherOne from low latitudes, allowing customers to maximize the amount of payload delivered to low inclination orbit, including equatorial orbits. Typically, ground-based launch vehicles must expend significant amounts of performance to deliver spacecraft to inclinations well away from the latitude of the launch site.

By contrast, as an air-launched system, LauncherOne can optimize each mission to customer requirements by operating from a variety of launch locations-including launching the rocket from above or near the equator in order to most efficiently and cost-effectively insert satellites into low inclination orbits.

Sky and Space Global's flights are the first announced LauncherOne missions planned to fly from low latitudes, allowing Sky and Space Global to maximize the amount of payload delivered to a low inclination orbit. Previously disclosed LauncherOne contracts, including flights for OneWeb and NASA, are designed to fly to higher inclination orbits.

Each of the four launches purchased by Sky and Space Global will be used to carry multiple satellites, which will rapidly establish the company's innovative communication system infrastructure and service. The flights are expected to begin in 2018.

Speaking at the Paris event, Virgin Galactic CEO George T. Whitesides said: "Having a 747 as our flying launch site means that LauncherOne can tailor each mission to suit each customer.

"We've seen an enormous level of commercial and governmental interest in launches that can reach equatorial orbits without having to pay the large performance penalty associated with transfer orbits.

"We're very excited to have this agreement in place now with a great company like Sky and Space Global to deliver their satellites to orbit reliably, affordably, and flexibly."

Sky and Space Global CEO Meir Moalem added: "We are thrilled to partner with Virgin Galactic on our exciting missions and LauncherOne's first low inclination launches. Just as we value purposeful innovation and customer service, Virgin Galactic shares our values and our vision for how communication can fundamentally improve lives. We have an ideal partner in Virgin Galactic's LauncherOne and its operational flexibility and are excited to work together to change the world for good."

The fully-funded LauncherOne program is currently in advanced phase of hardware testing for every subsystem and major component of the vehicle. With hundreds of millions of dollars of launches already under contract, Virgin Galactic has established a state-of-the-art 150,000 square foot manufacturing shop in Long Beach, California, with a team of more than 200 experienced aerospace professionals currently preparing the system for its first test flights.

8. Value Creation

"If there’s a theme emanating from this play in the past couple of months, it is validation.

SAS has bagged an LOI with Virgin Galactic and completed an offtake deal, but in the past two months it has been validated by regulators and those in the know the world over.

This is in part due to the pace that it is achieving its value creation milestones. As you can see by the timetable below, things are ticking along nicely and SAS will start constructing its nano-satellites (known as three diamonds) as early as next month. It also has several catalysts on the way including the tender (October 2016) to build a constellation of 200 nano-sats for 2018, start space simulation testing in December 2016 and launch the 3 diamonds from India in April/May 2017. Let’s not forget SAS has already secured a launch contract for Q2 2017 to be delivered through leading European launch broker, Innovation Space Logistics BV."


Sky and Space Global software team, led by senior software engineers that worked for Ericsson, who has been at the forefront of communications technology for over 100 years and are a leader of the global ICT industry. The Sky and Space team have developed the software architecture to allow standard Voice Over Internet Protocols (VOIP) and data transfer protocols to be used over existing space proven protocols.
Cap raising done. Fully funded to rocket launch mid next year.


NanoSats

1. Who builds the nano satellites?

The Diamonds are contracted to gomspace. http://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&s...e.com/&usg=AFQjCNHJACg…
After that a tender process has been initiated.


2. How are the Diamond NanoSats being launched? Cost?

They are sending the first 3 nanosats in orbit using the PSLV rocket, which has never failed a launch since its first in 1993.


Nano sats, defined as small satellites with a wet mass of between 1kg and 10kg.Conventional satellites that have a $US400-$500m ($557-$697m) build and launch cost per unit.

The $4.5 million capital raising on listing will fully fund the next 12 months with $1.5 million to launch the nanosatellites.Costs are $500,000.00 each for the diamonds. The tender for the 200 full set should see further cost reductions. (The Diamond launch will be on a ‘polar’ orbit not an ‘equatorial’ orbit. Real coverage will come when the launch of multiple Nanosats.)

Mr Moalem said Sky and Space Global’s satellites were called Diamonds and named Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
The plan is for them to circle 600 to 800 kilometres above Earth while in orbit.


2. Who builds the Virgin Galaxy transport and placement module?

Virgin. Launch platform by SAS.

3. How high up is the orbit?

500 to 800km.

4. Whats there propulsion system?-

Stated by Meidad as being Green..possibly hydrogen peroxide. Not confirmed.

5. How do they maintain orbit?

With propulsion. Burn out after 4 years in atmosphere.

6. How long is it proposed to maintain orbit?

4years.

7. So what makes the SAS telecom ip better? Whose Your Competition? What stage are they at?

Ericcson software engineers with SAS ip.Sky and Space Global software team, led by senior software engineers that worked for Ericsson, who has been at the forefront of communications technology for over 100 years and are a leader of the global ICT industry. The Sky and Space team have developed the software architecture to allow standard Voice Over Internet Protocols (VOIP) and data transfer protocols to be used over existing space proven protocols.

Sky and Space Global has a goal and promises to deliver "affordable communication services to ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME", which will "connect the four billion people currently without access to basic mobile coverage, including text messaging and voice calls".

No competitors in the vicinity of what SAS will be offering. All nano satellite competitors are trying to bring internet connectivity 'Wifi anywhere' type products, 5 years away from technically capable.

PDFNanosatellite and Microsatellite Market - U.S. to Steer Growth of Market as Space Research Spending Increases

Press release from: TMR

“The U.S. has been one of the most attractive markets for nanosatellites and microsatellites and an increasing number of small and large players look to expand operations in the country,” the author of the TMR study finds.

An excellent example would be Lockheed Martin Corporation. Although this industry giant has a massive global presence, the company has been increasingly focused on developing advanced launch services in the U.S. aeronautics and space systems market. UK-based Clyde Space Ltd. and Denmark-based GomSpace are other prominent companies that have, of late, expanded their operations in the U.S., making the most of the country’s growing demand for space products.


Industry Research Brochure is Available @www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag...

Nanosatellite and Microsatellite Market: Opportunity in Numbers

The value of the global nanosatellite and microsatellite market is poised to expand at a strong CAGR of 12.1% from 2016 to 2024. Maintaining this pace, the market will be worth US$2.2 bn by 2024, increasing from US$529.1 mn in 2015.
By solution, hardware dominates the nanosatellite and microsatellite market, with a share of over 35% in 2015. Data processing, on the other hand, is likely to register the highest CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period. Communication is the leading application of nanosatellites and microsatellites. By mass, microsatellites dominate the market and also form the most rapidly expanding segment. While North America leads the global nanosatellite and microsatellite market, Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the fastest pace.

This review is based on the findings of a TMR report titled “Nanosatellite and Microsatellite Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016-2024.”

Favorable Long-term Impact of Low Cost of Production and Development

The fact that nanosatellites and microsatellites find application in an increasing number of industry sectors is probably one of the most significant growth drivers for the market. Nanosatellites and microsatellites are used for navigation and mapping, in the education sector and for scientific research, for various commercial purposes, and in the military and defense. “These satellites are a much more feasible alternative to large satellites as they fulfil the specific research requirements minus the need for massive financial investments,” a lead analyst at TMR says.

“This factor will, however, have a high impact only in the short and medium term,” the analyst predicts. “In the long run, the saturation of the use of nanosatellites and microsatellites in these fields will result in a reduced impact on the global market.”

Browse Report: www.transparencymarketresearch.com/nanosatellite-microsat...

On the other hand, the impact of the lower cost of production and development of nanosatellites and microsatellites will be impressively high in the medium and long term, with the benefits not entirely reflecting in the short term.

Registering its intent

"Towards the middle of July SAS started to register its business with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for a specific spectrum frequency for its satellites.
The ITU is an United Nations agency coordinating all the spectrum for all the satellites in the world to make sure things are running smoothly.

It’s good to have a central point on these things, after all.

It turns out though that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can turn up at the UN and apply for spectrum – this is serious business.

To even make an application with the UN, you first need to be validated (in SAS’ case) by the UK’s communications regulator – Ofcom.

To meet the requirements of Ofcom, SAS needed to undergo a rigorous set of due diligence tests, including the submission of technical and commercial data to validate the viability of its technology.

The fact the UK regulator has assessed both SAS’ tech and its commercial viability and found it okay to pass onto the ITU is a strong sign.

It adds an extra layer of validation onto this story.

Normally with small-ish tech plays like this one you’re never really sure what’s going on with the tech, but the UK regulator has made sure the tech passes muster.

The extra layer of quality control ensures that not just any company can apply for spectrum.

While SAS still needs to pass the ITU system to get the spectrum, given the nobility of its goal in providing more telecommunications to the poorest regions on earth, it could look upon SAS favourably.

Investors should note that ITU certification is not guaranteed though, and this shouldn’t be factored into any investment decision. In fact, you should always consult a professional and do your own research before deciding whether or not to invest."



The Virgin deal isn’t the only big news.

In June this year, SAS completed Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of its 3 Diamonds conducted by leading European aerospace constructor GomSpace (GOMX:SS), which commenced trading on the Swedish NASDAQ in that same month.

The deal with GOMX ensures the SAS program meets schedule and cost requirements. Through its relationship with GOMX, the 3 Diamonds will be the first nano-sats to comply with the European Space Agency’s new regulations.

Meidad Pariente -propulsion system will be non toxic, non hazardous explosive wise. It will be "green".

The life of the Nanosats will be 4 to 7 years. From 2020 25% of the Nanosats will be replaced yearly to
Upgrade technology and systems.

8. Who is writing and testing the software for the Nanosats and Who will update the Software?

Ericsson and SAS. Managed by Maya.
Software tests and critical design review are complete.
Technical validation de-risks the company’s commercial nano-satellite offering, potentially bringing data and communications services to billions of people globally.
Tests across two interconnected ‘Hardware in the Loop’ (HIL) software labs between Poland and Israel. Utilising hardware aligned with that will be used on the Nanosats.

9. What type of software programming is used?

Economic in confidence.

10. What land based infrastructure is required for the Diamond testing and the Full set up of 100 to 200 Nanosats?

Not much. Software uploading satellite link.

11. UHF/KU band/ Communication frequency.

27 September 2016 ASX Code: SAS Operations Update – Frequency Approval and Progress towards Launch Highlights •

SAS has received formal approval from the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence (MOD) for the use of the MOD’s UHF frequency, representing substantial technical validation of the Company’s narrowband communications platform offering

"This is a very welcomed update for all the FA investors.

SAS have had to jump though many hurdles to secure this, first they needed approval from the ITU and Ofcom who is the main space regulatory body in the UK.

The amount of due dilligence the Ministry of Defense would have had to do is incredible, they would have gone through the technical capability of the nanos with a fine tooth comb. Now we are free to use the UHF frequency till 2019 and fully demonstrate its commercial capability."

"A previous comment was there may be a lack of Ku band spectrum rights (pretty much tied up by Oneweb at this stage). Any hardcore researches found any information if they hold interests in a band of spectrum for communication?"

While not a requirement of the testing regime, the company was also able to demonstrate the potential for seamless video transfer which may be used in future applications for the SAS network.

Intellectual property associated with the software system will be registered in Europe and the US. In the coming months the software will be uploaded to the nano-satellites, allowing flight testing as network software optimisation progresses for the full Equatorial constellation of 200 nano-satellites due for deployment in 2018.

Looking to the future, Chief Executive Meir Moalem said, “We will keep testing the system in more advanced and demanding scenarios while also upgrading our software capabilities, working towards deploying our constellation”.




Sky and Space Global software team, led by senior software engineers that worked for Ericsson, who has been at the forefront of communications technology for over 100 years and are a leader of the global ICT industry. The Sky and Space team have developed the software architecture to allow standard Voice Over Internet Protocols (VOIP) and data transfer protocols to be used over existing space proven protocols.

Sky and Space Global has a goal and promises to deliver "affordable communication services to ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME", which will "connect the four billion people currently without access to basic mobile coverage, including text messaging and voice calls".

Data speeds will be around 100kbps for mobile users, although satellite modems affixed to cars, planes, ships and buildings can, in the future, get faster speeds of between two and three megabits. See the video below for more detail.

In addition, the nano satellite network will grow and will be progressively upgraded with better technologies and faster speeds once the initial network is in place.


Funding Questions

1. How will the satellite build and launch costs be funded for the Diamond Test and subsequent 100 to 200 Nanosats?

Normal Sat cost $400 to $500 million dollars. NanoSats cost upto 80% less= ?$80 mill each x3 =$240 million.

In actuality the Nanosats will cost $500k each.
Diamond testing fully funded for 12 months.
How much for the Diamond launch with Indias PSLV rocket? $750k

2. Virgin Galactic have been quoted as stating a vehicle transport delivery will cost $10 million. How much will each delivery and how many will SAS use?


3. Are You selling to Public and Military telecomm providers?

More than likely with SAS contacts. See Meirs profile.

4. Who has said they will Use or want Your services?

Any JV's with upfront payments from Telcos occurring?

Africa Telecom agreement is not limited to the initial 3 Satellites, they may well require more bandwidth. A number of satellites wasn't stated but a lot of investors including myself had the impression that it was limited to the three diamonds. This is not the case.
- Ofcom have gone through the technology with a fine tooth comb and validated both the technical and commercial side. They have started frequency registration which is on target, but the launch can still happen if in the rare scenario approval hasn’t been granted.
Satellites can be placed in orbit until they get entire approval (Management told me they expect frequency to be done beforehand so no issues there). They said frequency registration is a major hurdle to overcome (Other 'Wifi anywhere' type products will have an enormous task registering frequency as it will require a lot of bandwidth, they are years away from that stage, Google projects have failed due to this).

- End users will not be having to invest hundreds of dollars into a Sat Phone. Meir stated their business model is substantially reduced. Management spent 2.5 years refining their strategy and go to market plan. They have a solution and they will tell us in due course.

- Fully insured including any operational/delivery malfunctions.
- No Capital Raising as some have suggested.

They have a partner (Pan African Telecom) prepared to buy all the bandwidth produced from the first three nano satellites which will be launched next year. SAS have engaged GommSpace to create and build the 3 satellites, all the groundwork has largely been done.

There are nano satellites out in space - but most of these are rendered useless as they are not able to communicate with each other. From the presentation "Developed software technology enabling the communication between nano-satellites in constellation and earth to create bandwidth - currently being patented"

Once the initial 3 satellites are up and running they will then create a proprietary communication frequency which will be patented - this is the secret sauce and where our experienced team kicks in.

The only risk I see is if they launch the satellites and realise the communication frequency doesn't work, but to me the risk/reward is very enticing. This could very well multibag based on potential.


Cap raising done. Fully funded to rocket launch mid next year.

5. Who do You have Agreements with?
MOU's
BOA's

SAS has even bagged a binding prelaunch offtake agreement with a telecommunications company in Africa, and are working on more, with details of further agreements to follow shortly.

Remember, these nano-satellites aren’t even in the air yet – which demonstrates that telecom companies in the region are desperate for a satellite network.

In fact, SAS has previously said that in the case of the first 100 satellite launched, that it may be able to book revenue of between $US300 million ($A390.4 million) and $US500 million. The full 200 once in Equatorial orbit by 2020 could bring in up to $1Bn in annual revenues.

Suffice to say, that’s a speculative figure and can’t really be relied upon when making an investment decision – always consult a professional financial advisor about your investment choices.

Whether or not SAS reaches anywhere near those lofty figures, the company is still doing a good thing and making a money in the process. In doing so it is garnering significant mainstream attention.


6. What are Your current and predicted operating costs?

7. Who are the 300 million options for?

They are for Meidad, Meir and Sharma Yonatan. Sharma being Meidads original business partner.
Milestones/Performance is based on successful Nanosat launch.
I expreesed to Brett that most investors would like to also see issue of prrformance shares related to Share holder value appreciation.

8. Will each phase be Insured? By whom? Costs to Insure?

Fully insured by Britain Global.
"SAS is covered just in case everything goes wrong… As it turns out, launching satellites into space can be a bit…risky.

So, finding insurance to at least somewhat lessen the financial blow if the worst were to happen to its satellites upon launch is really quite important.

Luckily, SAS was able to bag insurance for the launch of its 3 Diamond nano-satellites from Brit Global Security at the end of June. This means the whole $3M of working capital invested is covered, for only a small premium."

Ich finde das extrem schwierig zu beurteilen. Der aktuell einzige Abnehmer während unserer Testphase bringt vielleicht 1-2mio$ wobei das evtl. noch erweitert wird. Damit ist die Kapazität noch nicht ausgelastet. D.h. es können noch weitere Partner dazu stoßen. 10c-12c könnte ich mir vorstellen.

Danach wird es wohl zu einer Kapitalerhöhung kommen. SSG benötig ordentlich Chash um die 200 Satelliten zu bauen. Investoren dürften aber Schlange stehen wenn alles nach Plan läuft.

Danach werden Umsätze von 300mio$-500mio von SSG prognostiziert...ds ist natürlich sehr schwammig formuliert - die sind einfach noch in einem sehr frühen Stadium.

Eine Übernahme wäre natürlich auch möglich. Das gab es in der Vergangeheit in diesem Tec-Sektor schon des öfteren (Die Jungs aus dem australischen Hotcopper Forum sind sehr gut informiert und haben schon ein paar Bsp. genannt)

Eine Marktkapitalisierung von >500mio dürfte aber drin sein. Aktuell liegen wir bei ca. 50mio$

D.h. ein Kurs von >60c-70c$ sind bei positivem Verlauf bestimmt drin. Bei HC gehen viele auch von über 1$ aus (Wenn man mal ein Minen-Unternehmen wie Pilbara zum Vergleich nimmt, ist 1$ relativ gering kalkuliert.Dann könnten es auch locker 2$ werden. Was man aber nicht vergessen sollte ist die Tatsache, dass damit gerechnet wird, jedes Jahr bis zu 20% der 200 Satteliten auszutauschen (aufgrund von Defekten, neuen Technologien etc.)...da geht natürlich einiges an Gewinn drauf...

Alles in Allem ist es für mich ein bomben Investment und ich bin froh von anfang an dabei zu sein!!! Bis zur Testphase geht noch einiges

PDFNanosatellite and Microsatellite Market - U.S. to Steer Growth of Market as Space Research Spending Increases

Press release from: TMR

“The U.S. has been one of the most attractive markets for nanosatellites and microsatellites and an increasing number of small and large players look to expand operations in the country,” the author of the TMR study finds.

An excellent example would be Lockheed Martin Corporation. Although this industry giant has a massive global presence, the company has been increasingly focused on developing advanced launch services in the U.S. aeronautics and space systems market. UK-based Clyde Space Ltd. and Denmark-based GomSpace (Partner von SSG) are other prominent companies that have, of late, expanded their operations in the U.S., making the most of the country’s growing demand for space products.


Industry Research Brochure is Available @www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag...

Nanosatellite and Microsatellite Market: Opportunity in Numbers

The value of the global nanosatellite and microsatellite market is poised to expand at a strong CAGR of 12.1% from 2016 to 2024. Maintaining this pace, the market will be worth US$2.2 bn by 2024, increasing from US$529.1 mn in 2015. By solution, hardware dominates the nanosatellite and microsatellite market, with a share of over 35% in 2015. Data processing, on the other hand, is likely to register the highest CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period. Communication is the leading application of nanosatellites and microsatellites. By mass, microsatellites dominate the market and also form the most rapidly expanding segment. While North America leads the global nanosatellite and microsatellite market, Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the fastest pace.

This review is based on the findings of a TMR report titled “Nanosatellite and Microsatellite Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016-2024.”

Favorable Long-term Impact of Low Cost of Production and Development

The fact that nanosatellites and microsatellites find application in an increasing number of industry sectors is probably one of the most significant growth drivers for the market. Nanosatellites and microsatellites are used for navigation and mapping, in the education sector and for scientific research, for various commercial purposes, and in the military and defense. “These satellites are a much more feasible alternative to large satellites as they fulfil the specific research requirements minus the need for massive financial investments,” a lead analyst at TMR says.

“This factor will, however, have a high impact only in the short and medium term,” the analyst predicts. “In the long run, the saturation of the use of nanosatellites and microsatellites in these fields will result in a reduced impact on the global market.”

Browse Report: www.transparencymarketresearch.com/nanosatellite-microsat...

On the other hand, the impact of the lower cost of production and development of nanosatellites and microsatellites will be impressively high in the medium and long term, with the benefits not entirely reflecting in the short term.

aktuell am ASX günstiger zu kaufen als über den CR

[Di2]

Jetzt ist der Kurs nochmal richtig eingebrochen...der CR wird für dasd Management zum Desaster.

Urspünglich gab es einen Deal mit Patterson (Investor). Dabei hätte Patterson die restlichen Aktien gekauft, die beim CR von den privaten Anlegern nicht gekauft werden (ich glaube es war eine Summe von Max. 2mio$ für die privaten Anleger möglich)

Durch den aktuellen niedrigen Kurs (unter dem CR Wert von 8,5c$) ist Patterson nicht mehr verpflichtet die Aktien-Differenz nachträglichabzunehmen. SSG wird wohl darauf sitzen bleiben.

Im Nachhinein ist es natürlich einfach zu sagen, dass SSG hätte etwas warten müssen. Ein CR in der Hochphase (der Kurs lag bei knapp 10c) durchzuführen ist natrlich extrem riskant. Man hätte wohl eher etwas warten sollen bis sich der Markt abgekühlt hat und sich ein Boden bildet...

Hoffentlich bleibt das der einzige Fehler ;D

Sat Space Arica

Im April startet die Testphase mit den 3-Dimonds. Erster SAS Kunde ist Sat Space Arica. Was genau mit den 3 Nanosatelliten passieren soll, erfahrt im folgenden Text (Auszug aus der Sat Space Homepage)

http://www.sat-space.net/en/products/nano-satellites/

Sat-Space is spearheading the development of a new Nano-Satellite network service based on Sky and Space Global (SAS:AX) nanosatellites constellation that will provide S-band solutions for tracking, messaging, voice, monitoring, ATMs and more.

Sat-Space has partnered with the listed company Sky and Space Global (ASX:SAS) to be one of the first operators to supply service over SAS Global’s Nano-Satellite network. The network will consist of 200 very small satellites which will circle the earth at an altitude of less than 800Km and will create a permanent global coverage.

The frequencies that will be used for the service are in the S-band range and will enable bi-directional communication over small terminals and small antennas such as Patch Antennas, Handheld devices and Horizontal dishes based on the service type.

Services that will be supplied over the network are narrow band applications such as:

Vehicle tracking and fleet management
Travelers locating and emergency response
Personal Messaging
Personal Voice application
Point Of Sale applications
ATM
National electricity network monitoring
Water pipeline monitoring.
Gas stations control
Remote stock control
Animal tracking
Logistics Management

The network is expected to be commercial for few services in 2017 and with full service implementation during 2018.

We invite you to contact us and participate during the network establishment phase.

Nachdem es hier etwas ruhiger geworden ist, melde ich mich mal wieder zu Wort.

- Die 3 Testsatelliten befinden sich mittlerweile im Orbit. Die ersten Tests waren erfolgreich.
- Am Di. wird der aktuelle Tradinghalt aufgehoben und wir erfahren ob die kompletten Tests positiv waren oder nicht
- Danach sollte es zügig weiter gegen. Bestehende MOUs werden hoffentlich bindend und Gomespace beginnt mit dem Bau der 200 Satelliten.
- Wie das Alles finanziert werden soll ist noch offen. Laut Management gibt es verschiedene Optionen. Ich hoffe das nicht zuviele Aktien zu geringem Wert ausgegeben werden. Der letzte CR war ein Mega Flop
- der Nächste Wiederstand ist bei 27c$ ...den knacken wir hoffentlich in den nächsten Wochen

Des Weiteren läuft die SAS PR Maschine schon wieder auf Hochtouren. Im zweiten Halbjahr ist man als Speaker o. Sponsor auf verschiedenen Space-Events vertreten. Dabei geht es immer darum, möglichst viel tam tam über die Möglichkeiten der Kommerzialisierung bei finaler Konstellation zu machen. In meinen Augen ist das Potential noch sehr groß und wenn ich 2017 auf eine Aktie setzen müsste wäre es SAS!

Es läuft weiter alles nach Plan! Anbei das Announcement von heute Nacht.

In Orbit Testing Completed Successfully - GomSpace Certifies 3 Diamonds Nano-sats, Successfully Completed Launch and Early Operations Phase

Highlights
• 3 Diamonds have been fully certified by GomSpace as the Launch and Early Operations Phase (LEOP) has been completed successfully
• Certification of satellites marks the successful completion of the In Orbit Acceptance Review (IOAR) following the In Orbit Testing phase
• 3 Diamonds will now commence commercial operations testing phase
• The Company continues to make achievements with its disruptive technology as satellite distance and formation control by differential drag has been performed by the 3 Diamonds nano-satellites for the first time
• The Bring Into Use (BIU) of the spectrum has now begun

Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to share the latest update on the 3 Diamonds nano-satellites which have now been certified by GomSpace, having successfully passed the LEOP and making them ready for further use.

Certification of satellites in a formal IOAR marks the successful completion of the 3 Diamonds In Orbit Testing, according to company schedule. To date, the Company has tested all satellite systems, including the inter-satellite links (ISL), in operational scenarios. Messages/data were communicated over a distance of 2000 km between the Red and Blue Diamonds, using Green as a relay back and forth. Sky and Space Global has also succeeded in measuring the satellite signals on Earth as expected and has achieved communication carrier lock and doppler tracking, including the transferring of data.

As part of the LEOP, the testing of the Customer Satellite Link (CSL) was started. The CSL physical link has been established, with all 3 nano-satellites performing according to specification and data packets exchanged between space and ground.

The Company and the UK regulator OFCOM has started the regulatory process to confirm the Bringing Into Use (BIU) of Sky and Space Global’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU) filings by the 3 Diamonds nano-satellites launched on 23/06/2017, in accordance with the ITU minimum period of 90 days. Following the BIU, the frequencies will be fully licensed to SAS.

As positive progress for the constellation continues, the 3 Diamonds will shortly commence testing of the commercial services and perform application tests for its initial customers, such as facilitating phone calls, Instant Messaging (IM) and data transfer applications, on track to start generating revenues for Sky and Space Global and the customers using the 3 Diamonds network.

This all contributes to Sky and Space Global’s overall mission of building a constellation of 200 nanosatellites to cover the equatorial belt by 2020. In doing so, the Company will be completing its strategy to provide affordable communication services to Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime

SAS Signs First Binding Commercial Offtake Contract

Der Vertrag mit Sat Space Afrika ist nun bindend! Weitere bisherige Absichtserklärungen sollen in Kürze ebenfalls bindend werden...SAS ist darüberhinaus mit weiteren Abnehmern in intensiven Gesprächen...


Läuft würde ich sagen

Sky and Space Global Signs First Binding Commercial Offtake Contract

Highlights
• Sky and Space Global and Sat-Space Africa have signed a binding commercial contract for provision of narrow-band services, following the initial binding Letter of Intent from 2016
• Sat-Space Africa is the Company’s first contracted wholesale customer for services from the 3 Diamonds and the Equatorial Constellation once deployed from 2018
• This binding contract defines the full commercial terms for purchasing services from Sky and Space Global, along with Sat-Space Africa’s role with other customers
• Once the full Sky and Space Global Equatorial Constellation is deployed, potential revenues from customers via Sat- Space Africa will be between US$10 million to US$35 million annually
• This binding commercial contract provides further confidence in Sky and Space Global’s nanosatellite constellation and technical capability

Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that is has signed its first binding commercial contract with a wholesale customer, SatSpace Africa (SSA).

Sat-Space Africa is the Company’s first wholesale operator, with whom a Letter of Intent had previously been signed. SSA had agreed to purchase all the available communication bandwidth that the Company can provide from its initial 3 Diamonds nano-satellite platform, and following the successful 3 Diamonds launch and testing phase. With this now completed, the parties have executed this binding commercial contract.

Sat-Space Africa is a Pan-African communications company that has existing operations and infrastructure in 27 African countries. Using fibre optic, satellites and wireless networks, they are able to supply fast and dependable IP connectivity solutions. Having secured new customers, SSA have forecast revenue of approximately US$500,000 per annum from the 3 Diamonds and there is potential for this to increase up to US$35 million per annum once the Company’s full equatorial constellation is launched from 2018, and fully operational by 2020.

The commercial contract with SSA validates SAS’s nano-satellite technical capability as the testing phase continues and the 3 Diamonds continue to perform according to specification. The Company recently announced that the Launch and Early Operations Phase has been completed successfully and the 3 Diamonds will now commence the commercial operations testing phase.

The Company and Executive Management team are now rapidly working towards concluding further binding commercial contracts with other wholesale data operators like SSA, some of which have initial agreements in place with SAS, and potential new customers with whom discussions are underway.

Sky and Space Global is working towards building a constellation of 200 nano-satellites to cover the equatorial belt by 2020. The quantum of bandwidth generated by the full constellation has the potential to generate gross revenues of circa US$600 million to US$1 billion per annum.

Sky and Space Global’s CEO and Managing Director, Mr. Meir Moalem said: “We’re very glad to be working with Sat-Space Africa, a company which shares our values and aims to bring reliable connectivity solutions. The commercial contract marks a step forward in our partnership and for us as a business with confidence in our constellation continuing to strengthen. We look forward to the commercial demonstrations of the 3 Diamonds in the coming weeks.”

Bestehende strategische Partnerschaften

WeFarm In May 2017
Sky and Space Global signed a Memorandum of Understand (MOU) with WeFarm Ltd, the world’s largest knowledge and data network for small-scale farmers. The MOU was to explore the integration of the Company’s nano-satellite communication platform into WeFarm’s process of onboarding users, who are small-scale farmers living in remote and isolated locations. Under the terms of the MOU, SAS will help WeFarm to enhance mobile network coverage and connectivity for WeFarm’s users, through integrating Sky and Space Global technology and equatorial nano-satellite constellation platform, together with the WeFarm data sharing services for its users.

RBC Signals
Sky and Space Global partnered with Seattle-based RBC Signals, a U.S. company that provides a global network of ground stations by using excess capacity from existing facilities. Following the 3 Diamonds launch, the Company used an RBC Signals ground station in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, for initial communications with the nano-satellites. RBC Signals provides ongoing communications services for the nano-satellites, and part of the partnership involved working to set up regulatory approvals with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. Sky and Space’s partner Sat-Space Africa secures new telco contracts The Company’s wholesale partner, Sat Space Africa, secured customers looking to access the bandwidth from the 3 Diamonds. The potential revenues from the new contracts range from around US$500,000 per year to potential future revenues of circa US$10 million to US$35 million annually once the Company’s full constellation of nano-satellites is up and running. Following the end of the financial year, the Company announced it had executed a binding commercial contract with Sat-Space Africa.

Globalsat
In March 2017, Globalsat Group and Sky and Space Global announced a MOU. Under the agreement, Globalsat Group will take part in early trials of the Sky and Space Global satellite system. The non-binding deal also involves working towards establishing a commercial agreement for providing services to endusers across Globalsat Group’s multi country footprint. This represents Sky and Space Global's first entry into the large equatorial South and Latin American market as well as providing strong customer validation from a leading American satellite communications provider.

US Department of Defence
In February 2017, Sky and Space Global signed a Cooperation Agreement for Sharing Space Situational Awareness Services with the Department of Defence (DoD) of the United States of America. This marks the first contract of its kind for the Company and the DoD and recognises the mutual objectives of both parties to ensure safe and peaceful space flight operations. The United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) has been delegated authority by the US Secretary of Defence to provide space situational awareness services and information to Sky and Space Global, representing a significant validation of the expertise of the Company’s management team and their stature in the aerospace industry.

SocialEco
A MOU was signed with SocialEco, a London based IT company that produces a $1 smartphone, with the vision to bring affordable, universal connectivity. The MOU stipulates that SocialEco and Sky and Space Global will initially explore potential markets, products and commercial opportunities to bring together SocialEco’s $1 smartphone and Sky and Space Global’s network coverage. A pilot scheme will see SocialEco’s $1 smartphone integrated with the Sky and Space Global app. The companies will then collaborate on the development of a new satellite smartphone. This collaboration should help both parties to realise their aim of bringing coverage to billions of people in remote locations along the equatorial belt.

BeepTool
In January 2017, Sky and Space Global entered into an agreement with BeepTool Communications & Integrated Services Ltd (BeepTool) via a letter of intent for a portion of bandwidth of the 3 Diamonds. BeepTool is a mobile payments, messaging and voice app which is used by over 800,000 customers across Africa and globally.

Wie geht es weiter?

Der weitere Kursverlauf ist von den unterschiedlichsten Faktoren abhängig. In den kommenden Wochen ist das SAS-Management wieder auf den verschiedensten Space-Veranstaltungen als Redner/Aussteller, etc. zu Gast. Im Anschluss an diese werberwirksamen Veranstaltungen hatten wir in der Vergangenheit immer eine starken Anstieg beim Kurs gesehen, da neue Investoren für das Konzept begeistert wurden. Es werden sicherlich bis zum Jahresende wegweisende Kooperationen eingegangen. Allem voran die notwendige Finanzierung zum Bau der Satelliten.

Der folgende Post stammt aus dem HC Forum und fasst die aktuelle Situation meiner Meinung nach sehr gut zusammen:

I have said many times, I don't believe SAS will go through the roof - at least not the way all the LT holders (me included) believe it will - until the final run up to major revenue.

According to the investor presentation, they can function properly with 100 nanosats deployed which, if I'm reading it right, looks to be by about H2 2019.

Now by this point, one of two things can happen:

1) they will not have fully subscribed their bandwidth to retailers.

2) they will have fully subscribed their bandwidth to retailers.

There's a lot of grey area, but just looking at those two possibilities:

If (1), then there will be modest gains leading up to final launch to lift it to 100 (probably still a multi-bagger, x3 maybe?), but major money will wait until the thing is up and functioning (as will probably the rest of the clientele who will buy the remaining bandwidth).

If (2), then as soon as the last of the first 100 are deployed, they will be earning coin. If the constellation is fully subscribed prior to the first launch of the 100, then the lead-up to that launch will be long, sustained and full of warm fuzzies for holders. And unlike the 3-diamonds launch where success of the launch was effectively factored into the share price (hence the dip straight after it despite the lack of a catastrophic explosion), if this situation should eventuate then the full value of success will not be factored into the SP prior to launch, because no sooner will they be flicking the switch on the first 100 than they will be loading more on a plane bound for wherever that big Virgin thing takes off (from memory it looks like a giant cement manhole cover in a desert).

In scenario (2) it will continue to spiral up on the back of a full book of binding contracts for the entire constellation, or upon successful half-deployment they will be lining up at the door to get a slice of the second 100's bandwidth. A continual conveyor belt of warm fuzzies to all holders at this point, no matter where you bought in at, because once the constellation is live, and retailers are subscribing chunks of bandwidth, the big money will be all over it.

***

However, in either of these scenarios (or even the grey area in between), there is a long, long way to go in getting to the juicy end of our investment. Even if:

*1) we secure shareholder-happy financing for the construction and deployment of the next 200 nanosats.
2) we secure a shareholder-happy outcome to the licensing issue
*3) we secure shareholder-happy numbers of binding contracts on full or partial deployment.
*4) we secure launch dates for our four missions.
5) we have no hiccups on the ground.
6) we have no hiccups with our launch dates
7) we have no hiccups with our deployment (in space, no one can hear you not working)

........we still have a long run-up to the first real point where this stock will massively rerate. It might go up a reasonable amount if any of several announcements are made (denoted with an asterisk above), but it will not go ballistic until all the criteria for major investment has been met.

I am quite confident that big money (instos, telcos, etc) would prefer to buy SAS at $3.00 with the whole shebang up and humming, than pay 50c for it in a year and have to wait another 2 years to fully derisk.

I am also confident that traders would prefer not to park their precious capital in a stock that - while it will probably increase significantly over the next 18 months - will not necessarily do so in the next 3 months. That is just not fast enough for traders, which is why posters like @blister have been going round in circles debating this stock with long-term holders - they have been speaking a different language.

Could you bail out of SAS now, go use your capital to make a margin on something, then something else, then something else, then something else, and come back to SAS in 18 months time and pay 80c for the stock and sit on it for the ride? Sure. But that is full of risk in itself . Sitting on this stock ensures I don't have to worry about missing any boats, and my 20-bagger becomes reality at $4.00 instead of $16

It's possible that the team at SAS HQ might have been a little disappointed with the reception their amazing achievement got when they did it earlier this week, but they shouldn't. The share price is not indicative of how professional, groundbreaking and reliable they have been to date. It is indicative only of the timeframe for their full deployment.

There's always a lot of excitable talk around 'price-sensitive' announcements when they come up, but the ASX determine in their (sometimes inexplicable) wisdom whether something is price-sensitive, not the company. SAS BOD just view it as an announcement, and so should we. They keep us fully informed, regularly, and I don't think they care so much about the share price. They know as long as we don't suffer a meltdown they are on a very big long-term winner.

@blister has mentioned (I believe from memory, forgive me if I'm wrong) that he is interested in jumping back in if the SP reaches a hard floor, good for him. He can get back in at 18.5c and flip it a month later for 22.5 on possibly no announcement, just the ebb and flow of price. He can do that several times before the game starts to get real. Likewise, while I don't think @hkc will be able to get his treasured 15c buy-in, he hasn't been THIS close since he started making his claims in broken English several weeks ago, and could easily do the same thing. Neither of these lads need to be argued with, as both are traders looking for a quick buck (or several ins and outs over a period!). Long term holders need only keep their eyes on the prize.

Talk of "I bet the SP will be 30c by the end of the week", or "great announcement, now for that x2 rerate" is not really constructive, though I can sympathise with people who get over-excited by SAS. It's a pretty exciting stock

For what it's worth, I am quite proud to be a holder in this stock. I understand the sentiment that some holders would hope that the Board are not sitting around their boardroom discussing how to hand out cupcakes to the needy, save the whales or achieve World peace when their job is to make us all a truckload of money, but it behoves us to consider the awesomeness of what they are actually doing, and who they are doing it for. They might have spent their brilliance sending up a constellation of spy satellites, which might make almost as much money, but wouldn't leave me with the warm fuzzy that I get from watching their website intro piece.

Man, all that and I haven't even got my Friday night buzz yet. Maybe later

Disclaimer: When I see Elon Musk in Adelaide I will ask him why he didn't think of this idea himself. Oh, and how is his SA battery going? tick, tock, tick, tock, free

Mit Checkpoint wird das Gesamtpaket SAS noch interessanter für Investoren um neue Geschäftsfelder zu erschließen (Banken, M2M, IoT, Militär, etc.)

Der Kurs wird meiner Meinung nach erstmal konstant auf dem aktuellen Niveau bleiben. In kürze werden wir auch das erste mal Geld verdienen (zwar nur einen kleinen Betrag von ca. 2mio$). Der eigentlichen Zweck der 3 Diamonds ist die Demonstration des Möglichen um neue Investoren/Abnehmer für das Projekt zu begeistern.

Insgeheim hoffe ich ja auf Virgin Galactic als Partner. Passend dazu gab es folgenden Satz von Tim Buzza

Meir Moalem
"The company looks at generating revenues as soon as possible. So we will launch our first satellite, the 3 Diamonds, we will test them for a few weeks. Then immediately afterwards, after we make sure everything works properly, we will start generating revenues. Because we already have committed customers, signed agreements with them. And we will do additional commercial demonstrations actually all throughout the globe, with additional customers for future agreements and future revenues. The big revenues will start to come once we get this constellation up and running. So by 2019, we foresee hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues with conservative estimates."

Anbei ein paar Kommentare von Meir Moalem (MD)

The 3 Diamonds launch:
On June 23rd, 03:59 GMT, we all watched with excitement and anxiety as the PSLV launched from India with our 3 Diamonds. 22 minutes later they were separated from the launcher and shortly later we received the first signal – they are alive and kicking… At the end of the financial year, on June 30th, we were already with good enough telemetry to know for sure – the 3 Diamonds are functioning properly. This was a magnificent ending to an exciting year of establishing ourselves as a business. Following the end of the financial year the Company announced it had completed full capability tests for phone calls, instant message, voice recording and image transfers through its 3 Diamonds commercial demonstration nanosatellites. This was a world first for the aerospace, satellite and telecommunications industries, as the first ever voice call was successfully conducted using its 3 Diamonds nanosatellite technology, a standard smartphone and SAS proprietary hardware and application.

The coming year:
Our focus in the coming year is on 3 separated (albeit related) channels: 1. The first is the commercialization of the 3 Diamonds. This requires us to complete the testing of all satellites systems in all possible operational scenarios, prior to reaching out to customers. This is a process not to be rushed, as eager as we are to reach first revenues. We need to be fully confident our quality of service is as expected before we start a commercial demonstration, that will lead to operational service and revenues. It also requires the company to adjust itself to a 24/7 operational routine of our 3 Diamonds, and we are taking the required measures for that 2. The second channel is the ongoing development of our operational equatorial constellation – in the last months we not only signed the contract with GomSpace to deliver the satellites, but we have also conducted the Preliminary Design Review (PDR), insuring the constellation satellites will meet our operational requirements. This is a huge challenge – to deploy hundreds of satellites in space, control and operate them as a commercial system. We have taken measures to help us rise to this challenge, including recruiting additional space experts, engineers and experienced personnel. But there is more to this than just the satellites: as part of the constellation development, we will expand our customer base and our services, to fully utilize the potential once we start deploying the satellites in space. 3. The third channel is the ongoing fund raising. As I have stated before – our constellation CAPEX is at the order of AU$200m. In the next financial year, we will dedicate time and resources to insure SAS has the required funding to develop our business. SAS is in a very good position – the 3 Diamonds are in space and performing as expected, the commercial demonstrations are around the corner, and we demonstrated our ability to complete oversubscribed placements in the past. There are many options on the table, and as always, we will do what is best for the business.
I wish to remind us all that the commercial opportunity presented by SAS is very exciting due to the multiple available revenue streams:

• SAS will be able to provide individual customers with mobile phone services such as phone conversations, instant messaging, data transfer (including text e-mails) and even mobile-financial transactions.

• SAS will be able to provide global corporates a secured premium service for data transfer.

• Shipping and Airliners industry will find that SAS narrowband satellite communication are highly competitive with the existing services, making the SAS service very attractive.

• People travelling to the Equatorial belt on business or as tourists will be able use SAS services in order to keep in touch with their families and friends, even when they are in the deep wilderness or highly remote locations. Using SAS services will also save cellular roaming charges which can be very expensive in areas like Africa.

• Telco providers, which are the main wholesale channel for SAS, will use SAS capacity to replace and expand their existing services and customers.

• SAS will be able to provide low data rate services to the growing M2M and IoT market, at affordable rates to accommodate the high growth in this specific market.

From a revenue perspective, we are approaching first revenues stage, immediately following the testing of the 3 Diamonds and the commercial demonstrations. As limited as these revenues are expected to be, they are a testimony and validation of our business model and the existing market. We are very excited about the potential that our technology has to bring communications to billions of people across the globe. Our key target markets along the equator include Asia, Africa and Latin America. Together these regions have a population of over 4 billion people, many of whom are without adequate communications coverage. Our aim is to change that situation and provide affordable communications through our network to Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. Once again, I thank shareholders for their continued support during the year and we look forward to keeping you up to date on the commercialisation of our innovative nanosatellite offering in the period ahead. Remember: The sky is the lower limit! Yours sincerely


Technology
We have launched our first satellites, the 3 Diamonds, after rigorous testing and validation of our technology. During the last year we developed and tested the technological cornerstones of our company, including the communication (in space and from space) and the required software. We have set a new standard for nanosatellites capabilities with our 3 Diamonds and we will keep pushing the envelope with the development of our operational constellation.


Business development
The last year also demonstrated our focus on coaligning the different divisions in the company: the business development goes hand in hand with the technology, and our customer oriented activity concentrated on adjusting commercial demonstration schedules with actual contracts. As we begin our new financial year, we are finalizing the demonstration plan and expecting to achieve initial revenues from the 3 Diamonds.

Strategy
We are on a clear and defined path: as I wrote to you last year, we are building a successful NewSpace service. SAS everyday activity revolves around this strategy, and the full nanosatellite communication service is ever present in our mind. Every action we take, every agreement and contract, every financial expense – is done only if it serves this strategy. As part of that strategy we continue to develop and test required software for the network management, we are strengthening our global reputation as an innovative and disruptive NewSpace company, we are working with space agencies and with government agencies on advanced R&D, we have signed agreements with future customers, we have recruited new SAS team members to accommodate for the growing activity and we are preparing the ground with the financial community for our full constellation funding.


Long term vision
My vision for the future has not changed: we will build a successful business for our shareholders, based on advanced technology and software, combined with strong business and commercial relationships. In the last year, we kicked off the SAS equatorial constellation contract with GomSpace, so we would meet our schedule of 24/7 service capability by 2020. We have added to our future customer portfolio new regions on the globes and new areas of interest such as digital finance, agriculture, infrastructure, government and more. The SAS team is working daily in light of this vision.

Values
As I wrote in my letter last year, I believe a successful business is built on values and ethics. Sky and Space Global has a code of conduct that reflects my belief, a belief which is shared by the entire SAS management and is guiding us in our daily operations. Without the shared values and vision by our passionate and capable team we could not accomplish our goals. One of our values is our respect and appreciation to you, our shareholders. Without your support – there is no Sky and Space Global. I will maintain my policy of frequent updates on our progress, making sure you are well informed on our ongoing effort and activity.


Highlights
• A number of key strategic partnerships were secured with those in the telecommunications and space industries. These will provide opportunities for collaboration between Sky and Space Global and other enterprises that are working to provide affordable communications services across the globe

• Significant progress was made operationally, highlighted by the 3 Diamonds nano-satellites being launched in June 2017 and the subsequent successful testing of operational capacity

• At the beginning of May 2017, Sky and Space Global’s Placement was closed heavily oversubscribed. The Company had cash at bank of approximately $9.9m as at 30 June 2017

• Sky and Space Global was recognised as an industry leader, receiving the 2016 Frost & Sullivan Global Technology Innovation Award for Narrow-Band NanoSatellite Connectivity Services
(Diesen Award haben zuvor AT&T und Cisco gewonnen!!!)

• More recently, SAS announced it had made global satellite industry history - first time ever that intersatellite communication of nano-satellites has been performed with satellites spread hundreds of kilometres apart

Bis zur Bekanntgabe der Finanzierung oder weiteren strategischen Partnerschaften wird der Kurs sicherlich keine großen Sprünge machen. Das Fundament das aktuell konstruiert wird lässt lässt mich persönlich positiv in die Zukunft blicken.

Peer GroupVergleich

Ich möchte ganz kurz auf Iridium eingehen.

Wenn man im Moment mit einem Satelliten Telefon eine Verbindung aufbauen möchte gibt es nur wenige Anbiter die einem Nutzer zur Verfügugn stehen. Mit seiner weltweiten Netzabdeckung ist Irididum der größten Anbieter in diesem Gebiet.

https://www.iridium.com/

Bei HC wurden schon des öfteren Berichte über Iridium diskutiert. Ein Satellit kostet ca. 45mio$ und soll eine Lebendauer von bis zu 15 Jahren vorweisen. Zum Vergleich: Die Nano-Satelliten von SAS kosten nur einen Bruchteil davon (200mio für das Netzwerk von 200Satelliten) und werden nach spätestens 4-5 Jahren durch neue Satelliten ersetzt (Bei der heuten rasanten technologischen Entwicklung gleichen 15 Jahre einer Zeitreise ins Mittelalter!)

Iridium ist aktuell am Nasdaq mit 11.30$(US) gelistet und die Marktkapitalisierung beträgt ca. 930mio€ (was ungefähr dem 14fachen von SAS entspricht).

Im Jahresbericht 2016 findet man folgene Informationen (http://investor.iridium.com)

2016 Operating Highlights
• Generated 2016 Net Income of $111 million and delivered
Operational EBITDA (OEBITDA)* of $254 million, resulting in a five-year compound annual growth rate of 6%.

• Surpassed 850,000 worldwide subscribers, a five-year compound annual growth rate of 10%.

• Achieved a 17% increase in government service revenue with government subscribers growing to a record 84,000 total users.

• M2M data subscribers have grown at a 20% compound annual growth rate since 2011 and now represent 53% of our total customer base.

• Aireon LLC has executed ten customer data service contracts since the beginning of 2013 and has $270 million in committed investment from four air traffic control agencies.

• Reached total investment of approximately $2.4 billion in the ongoing development of Iridium NEXT.


Markapitalisierung
Iridium -> 934mio€
SAS -> 67mio€

SAS plant mit Einnahmen von 500mio$ - 1Mrd$

Dadurch wird noch einmal das zukünftige Kurspotential von SAS verdeutlicht. Natürlich kann man Iridium nicht 1:1 vergleichen. SAS bietet lediglich Schmalband Verbindung wohingegen Iridium auch Breitband Service liefert. Nichtsdestotrotz bietet die Nische in die SAS eindringen wird genug Potential um den Markt gehörig durcheinander zu bringen. Gerade in den ärmeren Ländern in der SAS Zielregion Äquator +- 15Grad ist dieser Kostenaspekt ein schlagendes Argument.

Genug geschrieben - jetzt heißt es zurücklehnen und abwarten!

SAS Signs US$30m 5-year Binding Contract with BeepTool

ich glaube heute ist es nach langer Zeit mal wieder notwendig etwas zu schreiben.

SAS hat heute den DEAL mit Beeptool bekannt gegeben.

SAS Signs US$30 million 5-year Binding Contract with BeepTool

The Partnership will Bring Affordable Messaging and Payment Services to Key African Markets

Highlights
• Sky and Space Global has signed a 5-year binding network contract with BeepTool, with an approximate US$30 million minimum contract value over this term

• This agreement commercially validates SAS’ nanosatellite technological capacity and delivers a critical financial contract for the next phase of the project

• The deal cements the partnership between Sky and Space Global and BeepTool and their commitment to building innovative messaging and payment solutions to help connect the unconnected throughout key African markets

• The deal further confirms the SAS business model and technological capability of their highly disruptive nanosatellite narrowband communication platform


Das Management hat in 2017 alle Versprechen eingelöst. Mit BeepTool konnte ein sehr interessanter Partner aus dem Banking Sector gewonnen werden. Mit den 30mio$ steht SAS nun genug Kapital zur Verfügung um den Bau der ersten ca. 30 Satelliten zu finanzieren. Wenn diese dann Ende 2018 in die Umlaufbahn gebracht wurden, wird hoffentlich genug Cash generiert um die restliche Konstellation zu finanzieren.

Hier noch einmal das Announcement im Detail zum Nachlesen

Die Grundlage für 2018 ist nun gelegt

Bill Gates Seven Predictions for the future

SAS wird das alltägliche Leben in bestimmten Region grundlegend verändern ...warum ?

schaut euch bitte dazu einmal die Aussagen von Bill Gates an - passt sehr gut zur SAS Vision


schaut euch einmal das Video bei Punkt 2 an

https://futurism.com/bill-gates-seven-predictions-future/

2. Africa will become entirely self-sufficient in terms of food production.

He believes Africa will achieve the goal due to a number of structural changes:

First, better fertilizers and crops being developed will cause an upward spiral of greater nutrition leading to greater productivity.

Second, developments in infrastructure that are already taking place, such as Ghana increasing the width of highways connecting production zones to distribution zones and Senegal removing checkpoints that cause delays.

Third, as phones become more widespread, this will allow the communication of information such as weather reports and market prices.

https://www.gatesnotes.com/2015-Annual-Letter?page=0&lang=en


Punkt 3 passt auch sehr gut zur SAS Vision

3. The lives of the poor will be transformed by mobile banking.

Electronic banking systems will allow the poor to store and protect money digitally: he said in his 2015 annual letter that “by 2030, 2 billion people who don’t have a bank account today will be storing money and making payment with their phones.”

- BeepTool wird in den nächsten Wochen Tests durchführen und deren eingene Software testen

- Im Announcement steht klar, dass BeepTool vom Vertrag zurücktreten kann, wenn diese Tests nicht erfolgreich verlaufen

Ich denke nach erfolgreichem Test kommt das Ganze so richtig ins Rollen. Für die nächsten Tage rechne ich wieder mit 19.5c$

2018 wird dann sehr spannend
- es werden mehrere neue Vertragspartner folgen (Asien und Amerika ist noch jungfreulich / wobei es mit Globalstar bereits ein MOU gibt)

- in Q1 wird dann auch zum ersten mal über Einnahmen berichtet (Sat Afrika & evtl. BeepTool)

- GomSpace beginnt in Q2 mit dem Bau der ersten 30-60 Satelliten

[Di2]

Vor einem Jahr lag die Aktie bei ca. 7,5c$

Heute stehen wir 20,5c$

nächstes Jahr

Auf der Seite von BeepTool findet man interessante Informationen zum Angebot.

Narrowband communications and Nano-Satellite Services


The above features will be available using nanosatellites grid where there is neither internet nor mobile service.

Low-Cost Nano-satellite network will connect the unconnected Africans in rural area without access to cellular and internet connectivity


BeepTool has partnered with a Nano-Satellite network Sky and Space Global for the integration of BeepTool app to SAS Satellites Grid to improve the lives of people across Africa without cellular and internet connectivity.
The technology will allow mobile smartphone device loaded with the BeepTool app to become a satellite communicator with communications and integrated financial services for Africans.

BeepTool and SAS will also develop a smartphone with an integrated satellite modem and S-band antenna.
In that way, it will be very easy and affordable to access communications and financial services nano-satellite offering has the potential to bring data and communications services to millions of Africans and people globally.

BeepTool and Sky Space Global collaborate for disruptive communications, mobile money, financial services in Africa. The Technology brings affordable coverage to millions of the unconnected Africans people. BeepTool and SAS have a shared vision to provide affordable communications and financial services to millions of people across the African continent.

World’s First Financial Transaction Using Nano-satellites tested Successfully by BeepTool and Sky and Space Global 26th October 2017

Highlights

• Sky and Space Global partners with BeepTool to demonstrate the world’s first financial transaction using nano-satellites

• Tests using the Company’s “Chatellite” app and Beeptool’s software have been successful, creating huge opportunities to improve commerce and financial inclusion in rural areas

• Financial transactions were made from one phone to another using Sky and Space Global’s 3 Diamonds nano-satellites

• The successful integration cements the partnership between Sky and Space Global and Beeptool, who will work together in the future to connect the unconnected

Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully performed the world’s first financial transaction using nano-satellites in conjunction with the mobile payments start-up BeepTool.

The tests demonstrated that financial transactions could be made from one phone to another using bandwidth from Sky and Space Global’s first three nano-satellites, the 3 Diamonds. This creates huge potential for improving commerce in rural areas by using secure and safe pier-to-pier banking. For testing such as this, the Company has developed a dedicated Android application called ”Chatellite”, which is used to transfer files, perform phone calls, text messages and voice recordings.

Africa-based BeepTool is a mobile payment, messaging and voice app that is used by over 800,000 customers across the African region and globally. BeepTool and Sky and Space Global have entered into an agreement for a portion of the bandwidth from the 3 Diamonds nano-satellites. Under the terms of the agreement, BeepTool and Sky and Space Global will collaborate to integrate the BeepTool app with Sky and Space Global’s communication bandwidth software systems. Following a successful outcome of the pilot, Beeptool has agreed to purchase from SAS all the available communications bandwidth that is required by BeepTool to fill its bandwidth demand. Sky and Space Global’s CEO, Mr. Meir Moalem said:

The full 24/7 service around the equator from 15 N to 15 S is expected to be launched within a year from now. We might add more satellites on the polar orbit to increase the frequency of service global wise.
Until the full service is up we can supply partial service like water and electricity meters and batch information communication (e.g. sending information from remote to a central location few times per day).
SAS already signed a partnership agreement with BeepTool in Nigeria and other Africa countries for Financial services, tracking, Monitoring, etc and these days SAS are busy testing their applications in the lab.
The current effort is to sign with customers for trials as a base for full commercial service.

Bei HC gab es einige hitzige Diskussionen zum Beeptool Deal. Ich habe ein paar mal mit dem CEO von BeepTool geschrieben und mir den Deal noch einmal aus seiner Perspektive erklären lassen.

Der User "Hunter" aus dem HC Forum war ebenfalls im Austausch mit dem CEO und hat heute ein paar Fragen aus dem HC Forum sowie die dazugehörigen Antworten vom CEO zusammengetragen.

Even if they do have 890k customers, their website still claims 1,000,000+ users. Did you ask them about that? Obviously not.
We actually have more than 1M users, not all our users have access to the internet or even smartphone yet. some have more roundabout 890K users goes to agent locations to do services.
which really a problem for them and us. so SAS network solved that problem and the $1 smartphone. these just our users alone.

What is this agent locations?

In Africa, there is Agent locations which could be a store or even a one-man business where mobile money and service take place, cafe etc
So because you don't have a device, people can visit there and use the agent services. meaning the agent does the services for them which cannot show except our backend system

People with no internet connections? No smartphones?
This is the main problem in Africa and this is what SAS and our $1 smartphone partner is solving. BeepTool will not need these partners if our users and Africans we are reaching have internet and all have a smartphone. Do they really know the vision and mission of these partners?
Beeptool is suppose to be an app and without those two things then it is meaningless.? This is serious, are you the one defining our business or vision? BeepTool is not just an app but an all in one integrated ecosystem platform. we have alots of agent locations, Services centers eg cafe etc via local partners
But since these major problem is now going to be solved. all our users can connect directly via smartphone. As our African proverbs will say. You won't care if the rain is not beating you.
I think that is what is happening here. I think whoever posted this don't know the vision of SAS and BeepTool and what is happening at all. We both solved the problem.

As for social eco $1 phone, do people even know how it works?
this just a phone, and the phone is arriving Africa starting from Nigeria in before Q2 2018 in BeepTool office and we will share with all our agent locations. so we have even made arrange where sign up for the phone are in these agent locations and they will be taught how to use it if at all, there is need of teaching them how to use a smartphone.

The phone can be sold that cheap because it is intended to be subsidised by advertising hence SAS and Beeptool both WILL NEED TO PAY fee to whoever is making the social eco phone in order for any app to be installed in there. This is confidential we cannot talk about this I am sorry


Now I am confused as to how this beeptool is actually making money at all when virtually no one uses their app and all their customers are impoverished people that transfer so little cash that not even bank, with their economy of scale, is able to provide services to them without making a loss. Like I mention Agent location is actually cashing and cashout locations and mobile services center, which could be retail shop or pharmaceutical store, farmer store or even woman who sell or even village head house etc. and these are connected to our BeepTool or banks, for sure we are making money and also we have really connected the unconnected Africans and the unbank and really contributed to financial inclusion. check about BeepTool and our m-naira product https://2017.fintech-africa.com/companies/beeptool-communica…l
BeepTool is integrated to all banks, billers govt agencies, telecom, mobile money providers systems hence we are an ecosystem for banks etc to rural people in Africa. So we are an interface to end users for all providers eg banking. communications, etc even fertilizer payment and farmer loan center for providers etc.
We are apart from our communications services, we do financial transactions including, money transfer, bill payment, seed and fertilizer payment for farmers, across Nigeria and Africa with the goal improve rural access and drive access to communication and financial inclusion of people living in rural Africa without cellular and internet connectivity. if all our users and others got the access to our services as planned and working towards what SAS announced is nothing compare to the money they will make and we will as make. because rural communication and financial inclusion is also solved. which is company assisted projects as well.

So SAS is making dodgy ass speculation of 30mill revenue based on what is essentially another speculation made by a Nigerian company that is chances are not making anything at present, that is if it is a legit company at all.
BeepTool is officially and legally registered company in Nigeria as Beeptool Communications & Integrated Services Ltd. please you can search for any legal register company here in Nigeria http://publicsearch.cac.gov.ng/comsearch/index.php just input the name.

All that email contain is a spruiking attempt felt conveyed straight out of the brochure. It is funny how this dubious as hell beeptool company seems to set up their company to be completely reliant on SAS... We get to know SAS in 2016 they looked for us I think because of our Vision and mission and where we are already going and that is the best thing to have happened to SAS and their investors.
almost feels like the company is a front company created by SAS themselves. We get to know SAS in 2016 they looked for us I think because of our Vision and mission and where we are already going and that is the best thing to have happened to SAS and their investors.
Are you sure you guys are not paid by SAS? in what sense? this has no respect at all. and for real for BeepTool to invest or partner any company we respect them and trust them. We trust SAS that they can connect Africans where they have been excluded and we are talking to a lot of our network and govt were needed for SAS network deployment.
You are invited to Africa and invest in this connectivity project. If I were you I will google BeepTool, call them directly or even visit Africa and we are glad to take you to our agents locations and show all type proof to you in as much you will invest x amount of USD in the deployment because for such we won't be wasting our time for proof where there are outside there.

Sky and Space Global signs POS contract with Paratus Group

https://hotcopper.com.au/hotcopper-tv/3984025/view/

SAS signs field trial for Point-of-Sale device with Paratus Group

The Field Trial will open the door to Nano-Satellite-based Point-of-Sale (POS) device market

Highlights

• Sky and Space Global has signed its first field trial for POS devices with the Paratus Group.

• This agreement has the potential to open the door for SAS suppling narrow band communication to thousands of POS devices on the Paratus network across Africa.

• The deal demonstrates the commitment of SAS and Paratus to support innovative payment solutions to help connect the unconnected throughout key African markets.
Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) and Paratus Group are pleased to announce their cooperation in the field of Point-of-Sale (POS) device connectivity. The parties will perform a field trial where the POS will be connected to a banking partner through a SAS IP network.

POS is a Multi-Billion USD global target market and is growing at a fast rate. Deployment of POS is becoming widespread in Africa with a rate of 450 devices per 100,000 people in some countries. The field trial is the first step for SAS and Paratus in replacing the current limited and unreliable means of communications with POS devices in remote areas, with new technology.
This agreement comes about following the announcement in August 2017 of a Binding Commercial Offtake Contract between SAS and Sat-Space Africa, a wholly owned subsidiary of Paratus Group Holdings. The parties are planning to cooperate for further narrow band telecommunication services in other market segments.

In Australien gab es am 29.1 eine Investoren Konferenz in Sydney und am 31.1 in Melbourne. Im folgenden leite ich mal drei Feedbacks von unterschiedlichen Teilnehmern weiter. Alles in Allem klingt das sehr positiv für mich.

[Di2]

Feedback 1

1. Funding: the topic that everyone wants to know about. There was no indication how they will raise funds but there was an indication how we are not going and that's CR. Over the last 3 days SAS management have been in numerous meetings / with various institutions and the likes.

2. OFCOM: paperwork have been submitted. SAS Management acknowledge that everything takes time and they have accounted for that. I inquired regarding delays due to licencing. This can happen but not likely. As we move forward paperwork will be stream lined as only some of the details will have to be amended.

3. USA Washington DC in March: I asked if anything specific was lined up. Meir's response: 'stayed tuned'.

4. GomSpace: Brett Mitchell mentioned that to date north of 10mil Euro have been out laid by them for the production line of the Pearls.
No production has commenced to date. Meir explained the difference between PDR and CDR.
Plaminiry Design Review and Critical Design Review. With the PDR completed now we are waiting on the CDR where final amendments can be made. Following that will be the production stage.
GomSpace advancing with a dedicated production line inserts massive confidence in my investment.

5. Company matrix: it looks like there will be up to 50 employees for SAS. The sales team will be growing. IMO this is smart business. Now that the tech is proven we shifting gear.
I asked about potential customers. Meidad answer: 'we are working through a long list'.

6. Launches: this point has come up again. Virgin is still on the cards with other providers being monitored. No specific company was mentioned for a back up.
Launching delays due to launch malfunction: is covered by always have other sats ready already.

7. Hotspot: SAS will have their own hotspot. I can not say at what stage this is at.

There is so much more that was discussed but I'll leave it to my fellow SASers to bring you the news.

Once again good seeing you PK.

The SAS Team are gentleman. While there is risk in any investment they did say the tech is de-risked.
Great seeing Meidad and Meir.

Funding
I won’t go into a lot of detail here as this one has been answered multiple times. However I would like to reiterate that once the first batch of pearls are up the remaining launches will be funded through revenue received from the first batch.
Institutional Investment
Was interesting to note that in the last 3 days they have had 25 meetings with institutions.
The Pearls
Someone asked how many pearls will fit in the launcher. It could be between 2 and 3 dozen. Exact specifications are not yet known as this is dependent upon Virgin launch testing.
It is very interesting to note that Gomspace have spent 10 million euros upgrading their facility in preparation to build the pearls. That gave me confidence.
Preliminary design of the pearls is complete and critical design of the pearls is in progress. Design completion and obviously funding need to be in place for the satellite build to commence.
Launch risk
These days there is an expected 97% success rate with launch. However the pearls will be covered by insurance. Should the launch fail this would effect a four month delay until the next launch.
Earth and Space Weather risks
I asked Meidad about weather related risks. He advised that the S band frequency is being used for communication. Meidad explained that this band mitigates impacts to the network of earth weather events ie: cloud/storms etc. So there is no expected impact to Quality of Service based upon earth weather events.
Space weather events ie: solar flares. Should there be solar flares it is possible that some satellites could be taken out of service. While a region of coverage could be lost the network itself would continue to work.
Testing of the diamonds
Meir emphatically stated that the SAS testing of the diamonds is 100% complete.
Solutions for customers
I asked Meir whether there would be a “cookie cutter” solution that would be used by all Telcos/customers or would it be a bespoke solution for each customer. Meir advised it would be bespoke for each customer. Essentially interested customers would advise SAS of their requirements, SAS would make the necessary changes to configuration, software etc. and then a customer trial would be undertaken. I asked if this approach would create extra costs and overheads to which Meir responded “No”. As such I assume that all trial costs would be baked into the final contract for any customers.
I also asked Meir whether they were just going to wholesale bandwidth or do some retail offerings. He advised they would do both.
Licensing and Insurance
I got some one on one time with Meidad while he was trying to eat and asked about licensing and insurance and did he feel confident that there would be changes to regulations now that nano satellites and constellations are starting up. He was very confident that a fair outcome would be negotiated. Some talks have been kicked off with the UK space agency about this topic and there is a workshop next month on this. So hopefully it can be resolved soon and advice to the market thereafter….. I didn’t actually ask him what he thought the timeframes for resolution would be.
Upcoming conferences being attended
@craigvn these are the upcoming conferences that Meidad mentioned they would be attending

Satellite conference and exhibition, March, Washington
World space business week, September, Paris
I missed the name of this once, October, Germany (I’m sure we could ask for the details via FB)
Sorry missed this one too, November, Africa (I’m sure we could ask for the details via FB)

Feedback 3

It was great to see so many ‘old’ faces and meet many new holders, last night.

Some great input already from those who attended last night. Nothing much to add but I do recall a couple of things not yet mentioned.

Latency – A question was raised re the ‘latency’ i.e. the delay in data / voice transmission time from Pearls to earth. As the Pearls are in a Low Earth Orbit (designated as a distance between 400 – 2000km above sea level) transmission delay time (latency) is in the range of 5-10 milliseconds. As the Pearls dedicated orbit altitude is in the region of 750km, one would expect latency to be well within 5-10 millseconds i.e. – less then 1/100th of a second - not an issue.

Patents – There is some rather special IP going into the Pearls hardware & software, that is very closely guarded among a select few. Is this IP covered by patents – no. As Meir mentioned last night in answering a related question, ‘patents are no more than a public plan for others to copy or simply emulated.’ I know for a fact that the party who wins a patent violation case is the party with the most money to pay the best ‘silks’. Meir suggested that “if anyone wants to see what’s in a Pearl, let them pluck one out of their orbit”.

Congestion – A question that I asked last time and one asked again last night by someone else, related to the ability of the Pearls to handle large volumes of data. Meidad (Mayday) answered affirming that the Pearls were capable of handling huge amounts of data at any given time given that the power of the Pearl is significantly larger than the Diamonds and also assisted by the way the Pearls are able to router data between themselves within the constellation format. If further inferred that if they were ever overloaded, we would all be making a serious amount of money!

Routers – Meidad said the Pearls were essentially ‘routers’ and mentioned that anyone in range, could connect to the constellation with their own in-house terminal. I found this to be supported from this extract in an article 22nd Sept last year.

“Sky and Space Global uses low-cost satellite terminals that can be installed in homes and are similar to Wi-Fi routers. The terminals would enable the occupants to make phone calls or use applications similar to WhatsApp to send text messages and images using regular, commercially available smartphones.”

This article followed from “the first time, a voice call has been made via a nanosatellite using a regular smartphone.” https://www.space.com/38231-nanosatellite-smartphone-first-v…

To say this is all really exciting, ground breaking and 'disrupting' stuff is such an understatement. The potential for the technology that SAS has to totally revolutionize data transmission and voice communication is simply amazing and at a level that beggars belief.

The presentation last night was filled with a lot of information that could not be verbalized…. but it was there in bucket loads. I am sure many picked up the body language giveaways.

Conveying sentiment is always difficult. Suffice to say last night, for me, simply added further confirmation that an investment in SAS is not only prudent but one that will ultimately provide a VERY handsome return.

Thank you Meir, ‘Mayday’ and Brett, for your time and interest in assisting shareholders to understand what you are doing and how our investment is coming along. The progress and achievements you have made in such a short period of time is truly outstanding and a reflection of your drive and determination to succeed and make a difference to the lives of so many.

SAS completes first Spectrum Monitoring by Nano-Satellite

Highlights

• Sky and Space Global’s (SAS) 3 Diamonds nano-satellites have successfully performed the worlds first Spectrum Monitoring* of radio frequencies by nano-satellites, adding the potential of a new commercial application to its nano-satellite network

• The 3 Diamonds successfully identified and detected the source of a connectivity interference for a leading geo-stationary satellite communications operator

• This has potential for a new material application and commercial opportunities for the SAS Equatorial Constellation communication platform

• Completion of the Spectrum Monitoring could see SAS’ satellites used commercially by global satellite companies and government’s to protect clear satellite communication networks, and to locate and identify interference on frequencies

• Demonstrates the ability of the world class SAS proprietary technology to evolve and adapt to cutting edge applications that are not the core operation – new capacity and applications continually evolving by development of cutting edge new space tech

• SAS will now look to build into its Pearls Equatorial Constellation the technical capabilities to perform Spectrum Monitoring - expanding the market opportunity and providing additional revenue streams

Sky and Space Global (SAS or ‘the Company’) (ASX:SAS) today announces that the 3 Diamonds nano-satellite network has successfully completed the world’s first Spectrum Monitoring* operation using nano-satellites.

The 3 Diamonds were used to investigate and identify a network interference operation that was occurring within Europe on a frequency owned by a leading geo-stationary satellite communications operator.

Using its on-board software defined radio capabilities, the 3 Diamonds were able to detect and identify the source of the interference providing valuable information for the satellite operator to remediate the issue.

*Spectrum Monitoring is the detection and location of radio frequencies from sources on the ground and is implemented by governments and satellite operators globally as a means of mapping radiofrequency sources, network security/ stabilisation.

The successful Spectrum Monitoring has demonstrated SAS’ technical responsiveness and capabilities in radio frequency monitoring and mapping. This additional capability expands SAS’ initial target market and provides new commercial opportunities for the Company to manage this process on behalf of other satellite operators and government agencies that have observed Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) or wish to map radio-frequencies transmittance.

RFI heavily impacts the quality of service for satellite operators and their customers as it is difficult to identify and source the cause of interference, making it a significant problem and market opportunity for SAS to leverage.

The Board and Management are focused on further commercial applications for the Pearls constellation ahead of the launch in 2019 and will now look to incorporate the technology to map and monitor radio-frequencies into the Peals constellation.

Meir Moalem, Sky and Space Global MD and CEO commented: “The pioneering technology on-board our nano-satellites enabled us to identify an interference on a global satellite network. This has demonstrated the capabilities of our nano-satellites to monitor radio frequencies across a substantial area and has opened up further commercial opportunities among global satellite companies and government agencies that rely on having access to quality and clear satellite communications. We will now look to incorporate this capbility into our Pearls constellation and are confident in commercialising the Pearls based on the successful technological and commercial demonstrations with our 3 Diamonds.”

in den letzten zwei Wochen war SAS Teilnehmer auf zwei Konferenzen.

- CommunicAsia (Singapore)
- Track F : Technology, Innovation & Transformation (Africa)

Der Kurs befindet sich weiter im Abwärtstrend. Einer der Gründe war sicherlich das Ende des Steuerjahrs in Australien (30.6). Ein anderer signifiakter Grund ist sehr wahrscheinlich die geringe Anzahl an bindenden Verträgen in Kombination mit der noch offenen Finanzierung der restlichen Pearls. Sollten neue Aktien ausgegeben werden würde der Kurs weiter verwässert. Die Entscheidung wie sich diese (hoffentlich letzte) Finanzierungsrunde gestaltet, werden wir gegen Ende des Jahres/Anfang 2019 erfahren.

In der Zwischenzeit sollte SAS einige MOUs in Binding Contract umwandeln. Das würde dem Kurs nachhaltig gut tun. Anbei eine Übersicht der aktuellen Verträge

MOU signed with Chinese Launch Services Provider

- SAS has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Chinese launch services provider, China Great Wall Industry Corporation (“CGWIC”), to explore the provision of nano-satellite launch services to the Company

- CGWIC’s launch capabilities will be assessed against SAS’ technical and operational launch requirements which, if met, will start formal negotiations for a launch contract

- Both companies will explore other collaborative opportunities to leverage and expand the nano-satellite offering in Greater China

- This is a significant step in securing additional launch capabilities for the Company’s Pearl constellation of nano-satellites, which remains on-track to commence in 2019

Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed a MOU with China Great Wall Industry Corporation (“CGWIC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, to explore the provision of launch services to SAS.

CGWIC is a commercial launch services and satellite systems provider exclusively authorized by the Chinese Government to manage the Chinese Space Program and carry out space technology testing with other satellite operators. With the support of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology and other prestigious Chinese satellite technology corporations, CGWIC has established 35 years of successful launch experience using its series of ‘Long March’ rockets. Over this period, CGWIC has launched 63 rockets, providing satellite launch services to numerous Chinese and international corporations.

Under the terms of the MOU, SAS will assess whether CGWIC’s capabilities meet SAS’ technical and operational launch requirements and, if so, enter into formal contract negotiations for the provision of nano-satellite launch services. Signing agreements with numerous nano-satellite launch providers supports the Company’s business strategy of hosting multiple satellite launches to establish the full Pearls constellation.

In addition to this, SAS and CGWIC will explore the possibility of broader collaborative projects and commercial relationships by leveraging existing CGWIC partnerships and in turn expand the reach of the SAS network into the greater China region.

Sky and Space Global’s CEO, Mr. Meir Moalem said:

“This is the first step in securing additional launch capabilities for our constellation of nanosatellites, which was always part of our business plan. The first launch remains on schedule for 2019 and all subsequent launches will take place shortly thereafter. Given the complexity of the launch and constellation, we are working to de-risk this process and are excited to work with multiple prestigious launch services providers.

“China Great Wall Industry Corporation is a well-known and reliable player in the international launch services industry, not to mention the main space cooperation company in China, and we are confident that we will have a long and fruitful relationship.

The Time Is Now...for Satellite IoT...

Anbei ein interessanter Beitrag von Globalsat zum Thema IoT/M2M in Bezug auf Nano Satelliten.


Globalsat Group expects Latin America (LATAM) to lead the satellite IoT / M2M growth trends as that region brings together three key conditions:

-Many geographic areas throughout LATAM possesses large populations that are currently underserved by traditional, land-based telecommunications infrastructure, which, in and of themselves, present costly maintenance challenges

-LATAM countries are seeing a surge in increased economic activity and, as a result, companies are looking as to where they can best invest their budgeted dollars in communication and information technology

-Small business owners, even in the most rural and backwards territories, are also coming to understand the value of real-time connectivity to their data



With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9 percent, the loT market will provide new growth and opportunities for mobile satellite service providers that have struggled with the stagnant development in the satellite phone market. Current and upcoming satellite capabilities will be better used in real-time data collection and asset monitoring rather than traditional voice services. The main M2M application verticals in LATAM are as follow:

- Energy consumption monitoring
- Smart monitoring of asset levels
- Wide area controls such as vehicle/device management
- Employee tracking and safety through wearables
- Business process automation
- Product usage monitoring and smart security management


Globalsat Group expects Brazil to lead M2M growth in the LATAM region, and the company is prepared to assist a growing number of customers to make use of this technology in the most cost-effective manne

June 2018 Quarterly Activity Report

Highlights

• 3 Diamonds demonstrate another world first with Spectrum Monitoring - the detection and location of radio frequency interference, adding new commercial applications to the network

• Critical Design Review (CDR) of the launch canisters to be used for The Pearls deployment has completed successfully and component manufacturing has commenced

• MoU signed with Commsat to explore potential integration of the SAS’ technology into the Commsat network, delivering SAS access to huge Chinese market

• Successful commercial testing of data transfer, M2M and IoT opens up Central and South American markets via initial agreement with Globalsat

• Recognition of two very successful years since listing on the ASX – World’s first successful nanosatellite telecommunication company and only ASX listed Australian space company

• Negotiations continuing with major space and telecommunication industry operators for the operation and commercialisation of the Pearls nanosatellite Equatorial communications network

• SAS Founders and Directors confirm commitment to growth with new voluntary escrow period on shareholdings

• Binding Agreement signed with commercial aviation service provider – International Air Traffic Automation System to explore future commercial opportunities

• Successful Share Purchase Plan of $5m, completing its $15m capital raising during the quarter


SAS Complete Spectrum Monitoring World First and Open New Commercial Opportunity
In preparation for the launch of The Pearls, on track for 2019, the Company continue to test and advance the network’s capabilities in order to remain an innovator in nano-satellite communicative technology.
During the quarter, SAS performed the world’s first Spectrum Monitoring operation using nano-satellites. Spectrum Monitoring is the detection and location of abnormal radio frequencies and is used by governments and satellite operators to stabilise and secure networks.
Radio interferences represent a significant problem for satellite operators and signifies a large market opportunity for SAS to leverage. The completion of successful Spectrum Monitoring represents a milestone for the Company’s growth and adds a further commercial application to the network.

Pearl’s New Software and Hardware Tests Yield Positive Results
The testing and design process of The Pearls is continuing on schedule with GomSpace and key milestones continue to be achieved per the project timeline.
The June quarter delivered the completion of a Critical Design Review (CDR) for the launch canisters to be used as the means of deployment during the upcoming Pearls launches. CDR testing assesses the overall design, durability and performance of the canisters and was undertaken by D-Orbit, an Italian space systems company. This represents a completed hurdle ahead of the upcoming launches and D-Orbit will shortly commence manufacturing the system components required for the launch.
In addition to this, commercial testing of data transfer, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) using the 3 Diamonds has completed under the Operational Evaluation Agreement with Globalsat Group LLC (Globalsat).
This phase of testing assessed the compatibility of Globalsat operation systems through the 3 Diamonds network and the ability to deliver connectivity to Central and South America. It was completed in two phases - lab testing and commercial field testing and its conclusion has advanced discussions to negotiate commercial terms on an agreement for Globalsat to use SAS’ equatorial constellation network.

Founders and Board Commit to Continued Success of SAS – Voluntary Escrow Entered
During the quarter, SAS reached two years since listing on the ASX and recognised its key achievements over the period. In doing so, the founders, directors and executive management reconfirmed their commitment to the growth and development of the Company by committing their holdings (>55% of the tradeable ordinary shares quoted on the ASX) to a voluntary escrow.

MOU Signed with Commsat – Leading Chinese Telecommunications Company
The Management remain focussed on the growth strategy and have secured multiple commercial agreements ahead of the launch of the Pearls.
Most recently, SAS signed an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Chinese satellite communication company, Commsat.
Commsat is a Beijing based satellite communications company currently developing a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation to provide IoT services to users and corporations in China. Under the terms of the agreement, SAS and Commsat will work together to test and explore how SAS’ network can be incorporated and utilised to advance and enhance the Commsat platform.
The collaboration will provide SAS with access to the large and fast developing Greater Chinese market. In its "13th Five-Year" plan, the Chinese government has rolled out the country's IoT roadmap and elevated the development of narrowband-IoT infrastructure to a national strategy. By the end of 2020, the narrowband-IoT network is expected to reach over 600 million connections and a total number of 1.5 million base stations.
SAS also signed a binding agreement with International Air Traffic Automation Systems (IATAS) – an aviation solution and service provider to explore potential commercial opportunities with airline customers or in a joint venture capacity, following the launch of the Pearls.
The IATAS platforms include real-time solutions for air traffic control surveillance, interactive airport mapping for pilots, remote tower operations, automated air traffic control systems, digital black-boxes and anti-collision software. Discussions have commenced to secure a binding, definitive agreement for IATAS to incorporate the SAS network into its service offering and commercialise its services in line with SAS’s nano-satellite network infrastructure.
In addition to this and subsequent to the quarter, SAS signed a further MoU with Chinese company China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) to explore the provision of launch services to SAS. CGWIC’s capabilities will be assessed against SAS’ launch required and if met, formal negotiations will ensue.
All agreements reinforce the elite capabilities of the SAS network and provide access to large and underserved markets.


Financial Update
The Company completed its $15,000,000 capital raising in April 2018, with a share purchase plan to enable SAS retail and small shareholders to participate in the placement, alongside professional investors and strategic funds.
The Company had $8.9m cash on hand at 30 June 2018.
In July 2018 Sky and Space Global (UK) Limited received a GBP 289,000 (approximately AUD 0.5M) R&D claim from the HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs) in respect of the qualifying R&D costs, within the meaning of the UK department of Business Innovation and Skills (“BIS”) guidelines, and the associated expenditure for the activities carried out during the year ended 30 June 2017.
The next R&D claim for the year ended 30 June 2018 is expected to be higher as the level of activity increased significantly during that period. This R&D claim is expected to be completed and submitted to the HMRC during the September quarter.

Outlook
SAS key focus for H2 2018 will continue on the completion of the CDR of the Pearls with Gomspace as the Company progresses on schedule for the launch of the first Pearls in 2019.
In addition to this, the major focus for the next quarter will be to continue to convert existing initial agreements to binding commercial agreements, with the closing of the Globalsat and other initial contracts well advanced during the June quarter.
During the June quarter, agreements with Commsat and Globalsat have given SAS access to additional markets and the opportunity to further commercialise The Pearls constellation.

SAS in der Abwärtsspirale

Im Moment kennt der Kurs nur eine Richtung

Anleger haben im Quartalsreport die Einnahmen vermisst. Durch die 3 Diamonds werden aktuell ca. 1mio$ eingenommen. Diese Einnahmen werden erst in einem späteren Quartalsbericht zu sehen sein. Das könnte damit zusammenhängen, das SAS ihrem Kunden Sat Africa ein relativ langes Zahlungsziel eingeräumt haben.

Aus der Gerüchteküche
Letzte Woche gab es eine Update vom Management an die SAS Führungskräfte. Dazu wurden einige Mitarbeiter nach Israel eingeladen. Ohne konkret zu werden hat sich ein Manager positiv über die nächsten zwei Monate geäußert. Es sind wohl weitere Deals in der Pipeline. Angeblich hat sich SAS in Afrika mit einem größeren potentiellen Kunden mehrmals getroffen und sehr konkret über Vertragsinhalte gesprochen...wir werden sehen...Der Globalsat deal soll auch so gut wie durch sein. Des Weiteren gilt es für das Meir & co in H2/2018 die MOUs in bindende Verträge umzuwandeln sowie die Karibik und China zu erschließen.

Ein weiterer wichtiger Meilenstein ist u.a. ein erfolgreicher Test von Virgin mit Launcher One. Die Testreihe war für August geplant. Wir sollten hier zeitnah ein Feedback erhalten.

Der Kurs hat sich aktuell bei 5,4c$AUD eingependelt was einer MK von ca. 100mio$ entspricht.

Innerhalb der letzten Wochen wurde die Verunsicherung bei den Anlegern deutlich spürbar. Die Frage nach der Finanzierung der zweiten Baureihe ist nach wie vor ungeklärt. Innerhalb der Pariser Satelliten Messe gab es mehrere Gespräche mit potentiellen Partnern. U.a. hat Meir auf die Verunsicherung der Anleger reagiert und aus Paris eine kurze Email Nachricht versendet:

First of all, I thank you for being SAS shareholder and supporter, and apologize for the delay in response.
I and the founders/exec team are at World Space Business Week (WSBW) 2018 in Paris and it is a key global sat industry event. There could be a number of very positive commercial and financial relationships that come out of it, and we are aiming for that.

We remain fully on track for the launch of the first Pearl’s in mid 2019- no change to this. I was just in Australia the past week, providing updates on last year activities, achievements we had and the Pearls schedule which is progressing as expected.

We do understand and appreciate the market nervousness and concern to all risk capital right now, and the situation re SAS funding. We are working on this and believe to be closing some major commercial contracts as we have been over the past few weeks.

The company is in very good shape, and if there wasn’t the funding query I believe the market sentiment was different.
We are fully aware of this and working on it as priority 1.

Hope that helps.
Meir Moalem


Kurzfristig konnten die Gemüter der Anleger beruhigt werden. Im Anschluss an die Pariser Messe hatte SAS am ASX/Chui-X ein Volumen von 30mio gehandelten Aktien (vs. 1-2 Mio im Durchschnitt).


Anbei ein älterer Post aus dem Hotcopper Forum der in Kurzform erklärt warum man nicht zu viel erwarten sollte. Der Kurs ist aktuell unter Berücsichtigung des Projektfortschritts zurecht bei 5,4c$. Das Potential ist nach wie vor vorhanden.


Understanding that the build process. Goes PDR -> CDR - Build -> -> Software Upload (SAS software) -> Testing (QA) -> Fit out with D-Orbit

Understand that the launch process is -> Transport to Virgin Orbit -> Wait for Launch Date -> Launch Q1 -> In orbit testing till (Q2)

Understanding revenue generation starts -> When the customer has tested the service

Understanding that revenue reporting starts -> after you have invoice your customer and the payment terms have been met.

Understanding what SAS is trying to acheive in terms of tech. They are not looking to replace iridium or the likes. They are not trying to offer video quality services. They are trying to off a basic.....BASIC.... voice call service for those that do not currently have the option of voice calls.

understand that SAS is offering IOT and M2M services to a market that is servery under supplied.

Understanding that Spectrum is limited and that satellite and terrestrial operators are currently fighting over spectrum. However S-band has traditionally been unloved by industry. With that understanding that SAS has found a way to take that unloved S-Band tech and utilize it for what they need.

Understanding that this is all highly specialized and takes time

Danskee Bank Gomspace research report October 2018

Gomspace wird langsam nervös. Nächste woche wollen sollen via Kapitalerhöhung ca. 40mio eingespielt werden. Das wird ne harte Nummer. Grund für den CR sind Probleme mit einem der Key-Kunden ...---> SAS... aufgrund der Finanzierungsproblematik bei SAS wird Gomspace mit in den Abwärtsstrudel gezogen und hat gleich mal seine Ziele nach unten und hinten korrigiert...Das nimmt langsam dramaitsche Züge an

Voluntary Suspension

Am Freitag ging der Handel nicht weiter.


Description
The securities of Sky and Space Global Limited (‘SAS’) will be suspended from quotation immediately under Listing Rule 17.2, at the request of SAS, pending the release of an announcement regarding a key operational milestone.

Bin mal gespannt, ob es über die Veröffentlichung des Critical Design Rewviews hinaus geht.

Der Globalsat Deal wurde bis heute nicht veröffentlicht. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass SAS versucht regionale Partner zu finden, die sich an der 2ten Baureihe finanziell beteiligen.

Critical Design Review wurde erfolgreich bestanden

https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-sky-and-space-global-read…

The company has completed the Critical Design Review of its Pearls satellite.

Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS) a New Space UK company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, has completed the Critical Design Review (CDR) of the Pearls satellite, which now allows the company to immediately proceed with assembly and integration of the nanosatellite network, the company announced. The CDR process was undertaken by global aerospace construction partner GomSpace (SS: GOMX) a European based, Nasdaq-listed contractor, specializing in the construction and testing of bespoke nanosatellites.

SAS will deploy a constellation of 200 highly sophisticated nanosatellites over the Equatorial Belt. SAS says that the network of nanosatellites will provide around the clock affordable voice, data, instant messaging, M2M and IoT communications, enabling SAS to implement its vision to provide communication services to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

SAS says its services will also bring to the equatorial region a huge range of life saving and other services, including search and rescue, disaster management, emergency response, security alarms and recreational tracking. This is in addition to many other services including cellphone applications, offshore communications, smart farming, interactive TV, airplane, vessel and animal tracking, water and electric metering, grid monitoring and ATM.

“We have successfully completed the CDR with GomSpace, reaching another milestone and remaining on track for next year’s planned launch,” says Meir Moalem, co-founder, managing director and CEO at SAS. He added that the positive results from the CDR validate the company’s technology, supports its strategy aimed at achieving the goal of providing connectivity to remote geographical locations.

Once construction and integration are complete, the nano-satellites will then pass through additional technical assessments and testing including a final acceptance test before launch. This represents an important milestone for SAS and signifies the next step in implementing its business model for providing reliable and affordable connectivity services to individuals and businesses in remote geographies.

SAS Kunde Beeptool bringt Oyi-1 an den Start

Das 1-$ Smartphone von Sky and Space Global Kunde Beeptool ist seit Ende Nov. verfügbar

http://dailypost.ng/2018/12/04/oyi-1-cheapest-smartphone-inv…

We came up with the idea of Beeptool Communications and Integrated Services Ltd to make sure that we really support what the government is doing and the efforts of various agencies that are fighting poverty in Africa. We try to use digital technology to alleviate poverty.

You recently unveiled a new affordable phone; Oyi-1, tell us more about it and your reason behind the invention

The phone is actually for the end user who is qualified or eligible for the affordable smartphone which is actually Africa’s first. It is a crowd funded smartphone and pre-financed by donor agencies, organisations and individuals who want to really help to alleviate poverty.

The cost of the phone is really high if we decide to go by the market price, but somebody somewhere crashes the price using our technology to do that.

So, for the end user who is qualified, and these end users are people who must not earn more than N15,000 per month. We are looking at people who are not able to afford $2 per day. If you earn more than Fifteen Thousand Naira per month, then you’re not qualified to get the phone at One Thousand Naira. However people who earn more than fifteen thousand Naira can get the phone at the the normal market price which is Twenty Five Thousand Naira. Our target for this is not the people who can afford smartphones, this is really for those who cannot afford smartphones, those who are majorly in rural areas. In Nigeria for instance, we have about 40 million Nigerians on that range.

What are the benefits of Oyi-1?

The Oyi-1 smartphone is an affordable smartphone and it’s a smartphone as a service not a smartphone as a device. It’s as a service to the end user and we provided applications such as financial applications so that they’ll be able to have a small daily contribution platform and they’ll be able to request micro loans from the ministry of agriculture, they’ll be able to pay little money and still be connected to the financial economy.

Apart from that what else are you into?

Apart from that, we also have the M-health application. This is basically for people in the rural areas that are not able to go to hospital so that they’ll be able to reach a group of doctors, call them up so that they’ll be able to give them medical care remotely.

Apart from that, for farmers, we have an app called M-farm. M-farm is an application that connects rural farmers to the city where they can check up the prizes of agricultural produce like yams for instance in Benue State and the cost of the same yams in a city like Lagos. It maps the producer of the yam and the buyer in the city. Those are the things we’ve built into it to keep these people were targeting busy, to create prosperity for them. Not only giving them money but a tool in their hands that they can use to make money.

So it’s not just a smartphone for just making calls. You can make calls with it quite alright, you can do any other thing like you do with any normal smartphone but that’s not the target. There are smartphones everywhere but Oyi-1 is a smartphone as a service, one of its kind in Africa and in the world in general.

The M-health for instance, you know about the health sector in Nigeria. People in the rural areas suffer a lot, the primary health care centres are not very OK. We know the government is trying already, so this is to compliment government efforts.

For instance if Nigerians in the diaspora can spend their time to carry out consultancy services for the people at home, I’m very happy with it. Of course,the people at rural areas will want to use those services as well. Government and even NGOs can pay on behalf of those people to be able to access those services.

For the M-farm for instance, if my mother who is a farmer in the rural area who sells her bag of garri there at the village for One Thousand Naira can be mapped with a buyer in Lagos and she could sell for Five Thousand Naira. She’ll be very happy to that. We want to revolutionalise everything like it’s happening in Kenya. We want to make sure thay everything works very fine in Nigeria.

What are the unique features of the phone (Oyi-1)?

What makes our phone very unique is that it comes with a dual SIM and it uses a dual connectivity. Dual connectivity in the sense that it uses the traditional GSM service providers like MTN, Glo,, Airtel, 9Mobile etc… but above that we have connected our device and applications to a nano satellite which is the world’s first nano satellite that will also bring connectivity to those rural areas to enable them use our phones not by using codes like USSD or SENDING SMS but just pressing a button to carry out their transactions.

Ich wünsche allen SAS Leidensgenossen einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. In 2019 wird hoffentlich der Grundstein für den langfristigen Erfolg von SAS gelegt.

Mitlerweile haben verschiedenste Big-Player am Markt ihre Kooperationen im Nano-Satelliten Business bekannt gegeben. Der Markt kommt 2019 definitiv in Bewegung, mit oder ohne SAS. Letzteres bezweifle ich aber sehr. Als first-mover hat SAS einen deutlichen Vorteil gegenüber anderen langfristig geplanten Vorhaben. Des Weiteren unterscheidet sich die Zielgruppe in den meisten Fällen deutlich. Wie auch immer, der Kuchen ist groß genug für verschiedenste Player am Markt, mit unterschiedlichen Stärken und Schwächen.

Dazu gab es heute u.a einen guten Post im Hotcopper Forum: https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/news-media.4203673/page-162…

Malone wird hoffentlich sein Netzwerk für die Finanzierung nutzen und die ersten Pearls werden produziert. Mit diesen Pearls wird SAS noch einmal andere Möglichkeiten besitzen um die eigenen technologischen Fähigkeiten zu demonstrieren (mit den 3 Diamonds war die Test-Möglichkeit sehr eingeschränkt / u.a. durch die kurzen Überflugzeiten welche zu einem kurzen Test-Zeit-Fenster geführten hatten.) Die ersten Best practice Kunden werden sicherliche eine andere Strahlkraft besitzen als es die unzähligen abgeschlossenen MOUs bisher haben.

Wir werden sehen

Response to ASX queries

SAS musste dem ASX ein paar Fragen beantworten. Das wird ein bisschen Druck vom Kessel nehmen.


Sky and Space Global Ltd

Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS) (Company or SAS) refers to your prospective financial information query letter dated 6 February 2019 and provides the following responses.

1. Please explain in detail the current status of development of the nano-satellites and the basis upon which SAS considers that the first batch launch of 16 nano-satellites will be made in mid-2019.

Following the Company announcement on 22 October 2018 in relation to completion of the Critical Design Review of the Company’s first operational nano-satellites called “the Pearls”, the first Pearl nano-satellites have progressed to assembly and integration stage. This means that construction of the nanosatellites is currently underway.

In accordance with the Company’s contract with GomSpace, the Company expects the nanosatellites to be delivered on time. Exact delivery date of the satellites has not been announced to the market, only the launch of the 1st batch was referred in the past (as is the common practice in the space industry – where the launch date is the key anchor). Following the delivery of the satellites, they will be integrated to the Virgin Orbit Launcher One.

As the Company announced in the past few months, the launch of the first batch of satellites with Virgin Orbit is planned in Mid-2019. Virgin Orbit will provide a specific date only following their first test launch which is scheduled for the next few weeks.

Set out below are examples of specific announcements by the Company that referred to the estimated launch date are:

31/01/2019 in our Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report
22/1/2019 in the Investor Presentation announcement
8/1/2019 in the Company Update- Two New MoUs and Update on GomSpace Contract announcement
13/12/2018 – in the Company Update announcement

28/11/2018 – in the Distribution Agreement Signed with GlobalSat Group announcement
26/11/2018 – in the Investor Presentation announcement
22/10/2018 - completion of Pearls Critical Design Review
The Company wishes to clarify that the estimated launch in mid-2019 is a “success oriented” date. While the Company has every confidence in achieving this date, it is partially dependent on third parties (such as Virgin Orbit launcher, Gomspace, the UK Space Agency as examples), and also a successful ground testing of the satellites following completion of construction. These are in addition to the inherent risk and uncertainty of a disruptive and innovative company. The launch and operation of a constellation of nanosatellites is a challenging project and bears its own risks.

Should there be any delay in the proposed launch date due to any of these potential circumstances, the Company will inform the market accordingly.

2. In light of the disclosure requirements set out in ASIC’s Regulatory Guide 170, please provide the following information for the Revenue Forecast:

(a) The basis for the Revenue Forecast.

The Revenue Forecast is a conservative estimate based on accumulation of the over 30 customer contracts and agreements signed that the Company has executed and previously announced to ASX over the last 2 years. These announcements detailed the counterparty names, the key terms of the agreements and that the Company expected certain revenues to be generated from the contracts following the successful launch and operation of the Pearls nano-satellites in mid 2019. All the customer contracts entered into by the Company to date are for the services to be provided by the Pearls Equatorial Constellation network, following testing of the SAS narrowband communication network services on the 3-Diamonds commercial demonstration nano-satellites, which were successfully launched in June 2017.


Examples of announcements where financial terms and revenues have been disclosed are set out below:
• Sat Space Africa announcement dated 24/8/2017: 10M-35M USD per annum
• Beeptool announcement dated 21/12/2017: 6M USD per annum
• GlobalSat announcement dated 28/11/2018: 5M USD for the first 2 years.

The potential aggregated revenues from the above are 21M-46M USD per annum and are based on the specific terms of the agreements.

This information was provided in past announcements and presentations made by the Company, including, for example, the Company presentation announcement dated 26/11/2018 (p. 20), or WSBW Company presentation announcement dated 13/9/2018 (p.2).

In providing the revenue forecast included in the last Company presentation for the 1st batch of Pearls to be launched in 2019, from the above agreements, the Company used the following assumptions:

• Use of the lowest contracted revenue generation from the SSA contract (10M USD)
• The Company has ignored all potential revenues due from voice calls services (even though these will be technically available) to be additionally conservative in its assumptions.

• Additional discounts have been applied for:
o Potential delays in terminal supply schedule.
o Potential technical issues during first months of customer onboarding.
o 1st batch capability limits, that is 16 satellites.
o Unknown unexpected issues – an additional discount

• Aggregated total discount applied is ~50% on these expected contracted revenues.

The total aggregated revenues from the above agreements, using the conservative assumptions set out above are ~10-12M AUD per annum, which is what the Company has included in the recent presentation dated 22 January 2019.

The Company therefore believes the estimated revenues which were included in the recent company presentation are not new to the market and therefore did not require any separate, dedicated announcement.


In addition to these 3 binding agreements used for the Revenue Forecast, the Company has entered into another 26 agreements over the past 18 months to provide data services starting the with 1st batch of Pearls, which are not included in the Revenue Forecast or any other company information at this point.

To summarize the above, the annual revenue forecast of A$10-12m from all the executed and announced commercial contracts for customers to use of the services provided by the first batch of operational Pearls as set out in the Company’s Investor Presentation, is, in the opinion of the Company, a very conservative, post risked estimate based on the aggregated value of announced agreements.

(b) The material assumptions underpinning the Revenue Forecast.

The material assumptions underpinning the Revenue Forecast are a combination of contractual commitments and the risked probability estimations for success of each contract to estimate the revenues that are expected to be generated from each contract. The Company considers that it used conservative assumptions which allow for delays together with possible technical issues and commercial issues that could all impact the quantum and timing of revenues. The material assumptions used by the Company underpinning the Revenue Forecast provided are:

• Removing all revenues due from delivery of voice services: although the satellites can technically provide voice services (including real time voice calls), due to the small numbers of satellites launched and the limited coverage, the Company decided to exclude all voice related revenues from the forecast.
• Assume potential delays in terminal supply schedule: as the onboarding process for customers include delivery of ground terminals, the Company assumed there will be delays across the logistic supply chain, which will result in a slower onboarding process and a slower ramp up of revenues. • Assume technical issues during first months of satellites operation: as launching and operating a constellation of satellites for communication services is a technology challenge, among others, the Company assumed that technical issues may result in lower revenues.
• 1st batch capability limits some services to some customers.
• Unknown and unexpected issues which will limit revenues.

For each of the above material assumptions the company attached a discount figure, with the total aggregated discount to be ~50%.

The Company considers that the application of the above assumptions has led to a very conservative revenue forecast.

All of the above material assumptions are in addition to the inherent risk and uncertainty of a disruptive and innovative Company. The launch and operation of a constellation of nanosatellites is a challenging project and bears its own risks.

(c) The factors which SAS believes give it a reasonable basis to publish the Revenue Forecast.

The factors which SAS believes gives it a reasonable basis to publish the Revenue Forecast are the defined contractual payments and the accumulation of binding agreements with detailed financial terms, including expected payment and commitments from customers. A binding agreement will include usually number of committed ground devices, a monthly payment (recurring, may include a service package) and pricing of services (M2M/IoT unit, voice call per minute, txt message etc.). revenue forecast is based only on the recurring payments. revenue forecast does not include the cost of the ground devices or the additional expected payments for additional use.

In addition, the Company believes the revenue numbers included in the recent Company presentation are not new and where known to the market, as explained at (a) above.

(d) What steps did SAS take to verify the reasonableness and reliability of the Revenue Forecast?

SAS took the following steps to verify the reasonableness and reliability of the Revenue Forecast:

• Market research: over the last 2 years the Company has conducted satellite communications market research, competitive landscape research, addressable market research, product research and more, and collected knowledge and information. The result of this ongoing effort is an understanding of the market the Company is part of, including all commercial parameters such as pricing, type of contracts and agreements, required SLA/s etc. the accumulated knowledge provides the Company with a high confidence level when estimating revenues from the 1st batch of Pearls.
• Due Diligence for customers: for each customer, as part of the standard commercial process, the Company performs a due diligence on the customer, to gain confidence in the ability of the customer to meet the defined financial commitments. In addition to this due diligence, the Company defines a probability parameter for each contract, which is gradually growing as the commercial relationship evolve. On top of this, the Company uses a conservative method to discount further the projected revenues, to allow for any delays, failures etc, which results in the announced estimated revenues on an annualized basis.

(e) Any independent or objectively verifiable sources of information that SAS has to establish that there are reasonable grounds for the Revenue Forecast.

There are no independent or objectively verifiable sources of information that the Company is aware of, other than the information secured through the due diligence process that has been referred to in the response at (d) above and the market reports referred at (a) above.

3. Please explain why the Company Presentation is price sensitive and why no separate announcement containing the Revenue Forecast was released on MAP.

The Company has a general policy of classifying all Investor Presentations as price sensitive to bring them to the attention of shareholders, and the information relating to the Revenue Forecast has been disclosed to the market in prior releases to ASX by the Company over the last 2 years. As such, a standalone announcement was not warranted in the circumstances.

4. Please confirm that SAS is in compliance with the Listing Rules and, in particular, Listing Rule 3.1.

The Company confirms that it is in compliance with the Listing Rules and, in particular, Listing Rule 3.1.

5. Please confirm that SAS’s responses to the questions above have been authorised and approved in accordance with its published continuous disclosure policy or otherwise by its Board or an officer of SAS with delegated authority from the Board to respond to ASX on disclosure matters.

The Company confirms that its responses to the questions above have been authorised and approved by its Board.

Sky & Space Global receives signed binding commitments for $12 million placement to facilitate the launch of the first batch of Pearls nano-satellites; Additional $3 million Underwritten Priority Offer to be offered to SAS shareholders

• Signed binding commitment letters have been received for a two-tranche Placement of $12 million to facilitate the launch of the first batch of Pearls constellation nano-satellites with Virgin Orbit by mid-2019

• Sky and Space Global Board of Directors to participate in the Placement with the investment of $710,000i, with new Chairman Michael Malone to invest $400,000

• Fully Underwritten Priority Offer of $3 millionii to enable Eligible Shareholders to participate up to $15,000 each, with the ability to accept up to $1 million of oversubscriptions

• Total of $15 million to be raised through the Placement and Underwritten Priority Offer

• Current contracted annualised revenues from only the first 16 Pearl nano-satellites A$10 million to A$12 million on a conservative basis (risked at ~50%), gross unrisked value of these 3 binding contracts is US$21-46m, as detailed in recent company announcements

• The combined capital raisings of $15 million, together with completion of additional financing initiatives including US bank debt financing that is in advanced discussions and ongoing management of key supplier contract terms already underway, will see the Company funded to progress to a revenue generating position from late 2019


Das schmerzhafte an der ganzen Sache folgt im nächsten Abschnitt des Announcements:

Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS, “Sky and Space Global” or ‘the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received signed binding commitments to raise $12 million via a two-tranche share placement to sophisticated and professional investors (Placement) at $0.03 per share. Settlement of the signed binding commitments received is conditional on lodgement of a Prospectus.

3c$ ist natürlich unterirdisch. Der Kurs ist nach Aufnahmen bei 3.2c$ stehe geblieben. In Normalfall fällt er auf das Niveau des ausgabepreises -> 3c !

positiv:
- SAS hat wieder genügend Cash um die erste Baureihe zu finanzieren
- Die Direktoren sind endlich selbst mit eingestiegen (700K)
- Verhandlungen mit einer Bank sowie strategisch wichtigen Kunden sind am laufen

negativ:
- nach den ganzen Verzögerungen haben einige den ganz großen Deal erwartet. Was hinter den Kulissen abgelaufen ist bleibt wie immer nur Spekulation. Aber wenn ein Management Team gezwungen ist, 12mio für je 3c einzusammeln kann man nur erahnen wie eng das Ganze war.

Meir spricht von neuen Investoren. D.h. zum einen, dass die alten nicht mehr bereit waren noch mehr Geld zu verbrennen. Auf der anderen Seite aber auch, dass es immer noch genügend Investoren gibt, die die Vision von SAS teilen. Die Hoffnung liegt wohl zu größten Teilen auf den Schultern von Di und Malone. Bret Michell hätte das Unternehmen viel früher verlassen sollen.

Jetzt ist das Kind also in den Brunnen gefallen. Nächste Woche 25 -28.02 ist SAS auf der MWC in Barcelona vertreten. Hoffen wir mal, dass im Rahmen dieser wichtigen Messe etwas positives verkündet wird.

Am Montag treffen sich die Aktionäre aufgrund der Kapitalerhöhung...im selben Rahmen wird der neu abgeschlossene Deal vorgestellt...da gibt's für uns viel Lesestoff zum Frühstück!

Virgin Orbit nähert sich währenddessen dem finalen Test. Laut Newsletter gab es in den letzten Tagen mehrere wichtige Tests die alle erfolgreich abgeschlossen wurden.

[FoxyGrandpa09]

Hallo zusammen!

Wie schätzt ihr es ein, dass in den neu veröffentlichten Dokumenten von zwei neuen Launcher die Rede ist? Ich habe vielfach gelesen, dass es "blöd" wäre sich nur auf Virgin auszurichten. Mit dem neuen Deal sind jetzt auch zwei weitere im Rennen. Klingt doch erst einmal vielversprechend oder?
Ich bin bei 4 Cent rein und lasse auch liegen, da es nur eine sehr kleine Position ist. Wie ist bei euch die Lage?

Schönes WE!

Company Update

ich fass es hier noch einmal zusammen



Highlights

• Heads of Agreement (HoA) signed with GomSpace to deliver newly designed 6U nanosatellites from the end of 2019 (“6U Agreement”) – allowing Sky and Space to add a Global Coverage constellation, for the growing demand in the IoT and M2M sectors, grow its potential customer base and enhance the revenue opportunities with existing customers

• HoA also contemplates the execution of a new definitive Pearls Agreement within 30 days that, once signed, will replace the existing Pearls Agreement entered into in 2017 (as amended)

• Following this change of 1st batch of nanosatellites to a Global Coverage constellation and the provision of IoT and M2M data coverage, 16 of the Company's existing customers have expressed their intent to increase the value of their existing agreements with SAS

• U.S. debt funding for launch is progressing as planned

• Operating expenditure reduced by more than 12% – $1.4 million AUD annualised

• Planned launch of the first batch of nanosatellites moved from mid-2019 to early-2020, with two Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) signed with Arianespace SA and Rocket Lab to broaden launch opportunities and provide additional contingencies and options for launches

• Reseller Agreements signed with Streamcode (a leading Telecommunications, Media and Technology company based in Singapore) and T-Systems South Africa (a German global IT services and consulting company and a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom), strengthening Sky and Space’s progression to monetise its nanosatellites once launched into space

[Di2]

Die Kooperation mit Virgin ist SAS mittlerweile zum Verhängnis geworden. Ursprünglich war der Launch für 2018 geplant...Gomespace und SAS waren bereit... und Virgin war nicht in der Lage die Pearls in die Umlaufbahn zu bringen....

Nun wurde der komnplette Plan von SAS über den Haufen geworfen...leider zum ungünstigsten Zeitpunkt direkt nach einer Kapitalerhöhung. Das gewonne Kapital sollte für den Launch der ersten 16 Pearls dienen. Da die Pearls nun nicht mehr wie geplant starten, fragt sich natrülich jeder wie die finanzielle Planung weitergeht. In den letzten Announcemnts hat SAS immer wieder erwähnt, dass man in Gesprächen mit eine US Bank bezügl. eines Darlehens wäre...Von der Anlegerseite wird SAS sicherlich keinen Cent mehr erhalten...das Vetrauen wurde durch die Entscheidungen in den letzten Wochen komplett zerstört. Zudem haben die kürzlich ernannten Direktoren das sinkende Schiff verlassen...im Announcement klang das so:

Having identified a growing demand for Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services, SAS reacted to that demand and announced this morning its plan to launch a Global Coverage constellation as a first step. This will open up new markets and new potential for revenues, strengthening SAS on its path toward a Real-time communications network.
Having supported the Company over the past few months as it progressed its operating plan, and with a changed operating strategy and business plan now in place, Michael Malone and Di Fulton have tendered their resignations from the Board.


Jetzt kann man sich die Sache schönreden und argumentieren, dass Malone und Di nur Cash bekommen hätten, wenn sie eine 50mio$ Finanzierung auf die Beine gestellt hätten....Diese Finanzierung wäre mit einem US Bank Darlehen hinfällig...und die beiden Direktoren würden nicht mehr gebraucht Malone wollte an der Kapitalerhöhung 400K investieren...ob er das getan hat bezweifle ich. Im jüngsten Announcement stehen die Anteil zumindest bei 0Stk.

Wie geht es weiter:
- bis zum 18.4 ist SAS vom Handel ausgesetzt. Es vorgeschrieben zwei in AUS ansässige Direktoren vorzweisen...Da die beiden von SAS zurückgetreten sind, muss das Board schnellstmöglich jemand anders ernennen. Ich bezweifle, dass das Ganze von langer Hand geplant wurde und SAS einen Platzhalter installiert.

- Virgin ist vom Tisch. Dafür wurden zwei neue Launch Provider ernannt. Diese werden in 2020 hoffentlich die ersten Sats. in die Umlaufbahn bringen

- kommt keine Bankfinanzierung ist das Projekt meiner Meinung nach tot

- Aus technologischer und Vetriebssicht ist der Sektor M2M/IoT natürlich ganz heiß. Ich würde SAS auch zu trauen, ausreichend Kunden an Land zu ziehen um hier ordentlich Umsatz generieren zu können. Der Kuchen ist groß genug.

Hoffentlich werden die nächsten Wochen bezüglich der Finanzierung ein klareres Bild liefern.Ich geb dem ganzen Vorhaben noch 20% Erfolgschanche .

As part of the Company’s cost savings initiatives, founders and Directors have agreed to a 50% reduction in their remuneration to support the Company’s progression to launch.

Das ist der aktuelle Finanzplan? Aua. Sehr schade.

[Di2]

Info von CEO Meier Moalem

Dear Shareholders,

As we approach the end of the 2019 financial year, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support, as we reacted to a growing demand for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services by quickly pivoting our initial satellite and launch programme from an Equatorial coverage to a Global coverage.
As the space sector becomes more and more appealing to companies, I am proud that Sky and Space Global is at the forefront of the new global commercial space industry. We are doing things that no-one else has done before, and have progressed at a very rapid pace over the past few months. The foundations we have now put in place, and are putting the final touches on, will ultimately make Sky and Space Global a dominant player in the space market with a strong and attractive global business.

At the forefront of nanosatellite technology development
Recent company newsflow has unfortunately not focused on the significant technology inroads we have achieved, and I would like to highlight just a few in this letter.
By leveraging our innovative standard in the build of the original Pearls nanosatellites for the Equatorial constellation, we have been developing an algorithm that will enable our nanosatellites to autonomously manoeuvre by sharing information and making group decisions to keep the constellation up and running and avoid collisions with other space objects.
We have identified two manufacturing candidates for the build of our ground terminals, providing connectivity for end users. These terminals will meet our stringent requirements that include enduring harsh environmental conditions, consuming low power, be lightweight and portable, and meet our specified performance in a secure and safe manner.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and our software company in Poland is proving this every day. Our requirement for a very efficient communication system has resulted in advanced algorithms for data compression and transfer that are at the forefront of technology and current capabilities, and we continue to challenge ourselves even further.
Agreement signed with GomSpace for Global Coverage fleet of nanosatellites
This Monday we announced the signing of a definitive agreement with GomSpace for the provision and manufacturing by GomSpace of an additional fleet of nanosatellites (“6U Agreement”) to support our new Global Coverage fleet, allowing full global coverage and underpinning Sky and Space Global’s ability to:


• Enter new markets (including Australia, Russia, China, South Africa, Argentina, Canada)
• Generate higher revenues with the added coverage capability
• Reduce risk by using space proven hardware and technology.
In addition, Sky and Space Global and GomSpace have agreed to finalise negotiations regarding changes to the existing Pearls nanosatellites manufacturing agreement within 30 days (or such longer period as the parties may agree). We will keep you informed of further developments.
Potential revenue opportunities increased with Global Coverage
The response to the new Global Coverage fleet of nanosatellites for IoT and M2M services has been highly positive:
• 16 of Sky and Space Global’s existing customers have expressed their intent to increase the value of their existing contracts – including major telecommunication companies such as BT Telecom, Telespazio, Globe Teleservices, and Gondwana
• New market opportunities are also opening with the potential for new revenue generating agreements with 6 new Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and 4 new Reseller Agreements signed.

Although currently there are no revenues from these MOUs and Reseller Agreements, we expect future potential revenues to be generated from them once full commercial contracts have been signed and the Global Coverage fleet of nanosatellites has been launched.
All of these MoUs and Reseller Agreements are the result of hard work by our product, marketing and sales team. We will keep progressing on the commercial front, turning client leads into opportunities, opportunities into agreements, and following the launch of our 1st batch, turning these agreements into revenues.

Expected launch in early-2020
With the changes to the business plan outlined above, the expected launch of our first batch of nanosatellites was delayed from mid-2019 to early-2020. Having signed two MoUs with Arianespace SA and Rocket Lab, we are broadening our launch opportunities while reducing the risk of being dependant on a single launch provider to realise our business plan.
Focused on the Company’s financial position to support progress to launch
Negotiations with US debt financing for launch are progressing, with discussions on a term sheet at an advanced stage.
In addition, the Company continues to make substantial progress reducing its operating expenditure since 9 April 2019, saving a total of A$2 million in annualised operating expenditure. As part of the Company’s cost savings initiatives, the Company’s founders and directors decided to reduce their remuneration by 50%, setting a personal example and showing a vote of confidence in the Company. Founders and Directors have also invested $300,000 as approved at the Shareholder Meeting on 8 April.


Joining the senior team in a consulting capacity, Sky and Space Global recently appointed Ian Pamensky, an ASX-experienced CFO, as Finance Consultant to ensure the Company is appropriately resourced with strong financial oversight.
Board update
The process for appointing two Australian directors with the requisite skills and experience to support the Company and the shareholders’ best interests continues to move forward, and we will keep our shareholders informed when appointments are made.
The bigger picture
While it’s human nature to focus on specifics like the nanosatellites, agreements, launch plans, and so on, it’s important that things are put into perspective. Sky and Space Global’s team of engineers, space experts, programmers and product marketing specialists have achieved a lot in a very short time, positioning our unique technology and value proposition at the forefront of the global space industry.
We are managing and running over 20 different projects – from nanosatellite development, manufacturing and testing; ground control systems and ConOps; constellation simulator; collision avoidance algorithms; ground terminals; advanced communication protocols; launch support; product development and management; marketing and sales efforts and activities; IT systems and infrastructure; spectrum coordination and registration; commercial partnerships initiation and more.

Delivering world-first technology
As outlined above, we have been very busy putting in place the foundations necessary to become a successful global commercial nanosatellite company and a satellite communication service provider that sets new standards in the global space industry through technological innovation. Our new Global Coverage has rapidly increased the potential revenue opportunities available to the Company. We are progressing to launch in 2020, and to providing commercial satellite communication services and generating revenues.
I would like to once again thank you for your continued support, and look forward to providing further updates.


Yours sincerely,
Meir Moalem Managing Director & CEO

Info von CTO Meidad Pariente

Dear Shareholders,

As Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Sky and Space Global, I would like to introduce myself to you, and take this opportunity to provide you with a deeper level of understanding of the many significant technical achievements, extensive developments and breakthroughs our Company has achieved over the past two and a half years.

Sky and Space Global is on the cutting-edge of the space industry, leading the way with worldclass innovative research and development, driving real progress. However, several recent discussions with shareholders highlighted a lack of visibility on many of our notable technology achievements by our highly capable and extremely talented team.
In this letter, I would like to share with you, information on some of the numerous parallel technology projects we run daily and our key achievements since the launch of the Three Diamonds almost two years ago.

I will also share some of our technological breakthroughs and achievements that ensure Sky and Space Global can provide the best end-to-end nanosatellite network solution to our existing and future customers.
Firstly, a bit on my background. I have been working in the space industry since 1995, as a satellite operator, systems engineer, and lead system architect of geostationary communication and earth observation satellites. Since 2006, I have been designing, building and operating nanosatellites. And since 2010, I have been consulting to the space insurance industry, performing risk assessments and failure analysis.

From late 2011, with the inception of narrowband communication constellations, I have been leading a team of world class scientists and engineers in designing, refining and perfecting the world’s first fully autonomous Internet Protocol (IP) based space network. This network is at the core of Sky and Space Global’s unique proprietary technology solution.
So, what does Sky and Space Global do?
In one word – Infrastructure!

Our small group of experts (about four engineers per project on average and one salesperson per continent) are “building communication roads” in space. We envisage the entire scope of work and develop all network related aspects so our technology can be translated to business. We have built a robust concept of operations (CONOPS) for the entire end-to-end data transfer (including how invoices are generated, and how customer data is stored, and managed).

We are also running several more projects to manage our own satellite operations such as: establishing all ground infrastructure needed for, expanding the Satellite Operating Center (SOC) and building the Network Operating Center (NOC), and setting up the operations team required for such constellation operations.

On top of all that, our marketing and sales team is constantly converting leads to contracts, and the fact we have more than 40 signed agreements is not trivial. This is a HUGE confirmation from the market that we’re on the right path and there’s a very strong need and demand for our services.

The Three Diamonds – Site survey from space, while sealing future deals
Since launching the 3.1kg Three Diamonds nanosatellites two years ago, Sky and Space Global has leveraged them as a tool in ways we expected and some ways that we could not have foreseen.
We have achieved significant technology risk reduction, by performing all the world’s firsts on nanosatellites (details can be found in our ASX announcements), including flying the Three Diamonds in a steady formation in space. We have used the Three Diamonds constellation as a demonstration of our network’s capabilities, to show potential customers what Sky and Space Global is able to do and support the signing of sales contracts and other agreements.
We have also been able to use the Three Diamonds for business intelligence spectrum monitoring from space in order to map frequency usage by ground and space systems in our future service zones.

The spectrum monitoring task, which was never intended to be one of the Three Diamonds’ mission goals, is equivalent to performing a site survey for real estate prior to commencing the build process.
The Three Diamonds have been a success for Sky and Space Global. They have exceeded our performance expectations in what they have been able to showcase.

Super strong lightweight canisters – sending the Pearls safely into space

The Pearls presented a new standard in the global space industry, an 8U, 150 Watt, 3 meter-wide satellite. No-one had ever before successfully launched such nanosatellites into space.
This innovative product required our engineers to find a safe and secure way to design a launch canister that can be attached to a variety of launchers, some yet to be proven and flown.
Since the canisters are dead weight, meaning it is mass we pay for at launch but is non-revenue generating, it is extremely important to keep its weight as low as feasible while maintaining an extremely strong structure that can endure the tremendous acoustics, vibrations and shock experienced during launch. Current existing canisters are bulky, heavy aluminum boxes. Sky and Space Global’s solution was to find a manufacturer that can comply with our high standard of near impossible specifications. D-Orbit, from northern Italy accepted the challenge and with carbon-fiber composite materials and a design used for electric Formula-1 racing cars, they managed to design, test and qualify the strongest, lightest canister in the new space industry available today.

Autonomous station and orbit keeping algorithm – auto-driver in space for the satellite while optimizing fuel consumption

Controlling the Three diamonds in a formation without propulsion, is a challenge the Sky and Space Global operations team dealt with very well (Blue, Green and Red keeping a distance of 650 km to 800 km from each other to assure payload overlap).
Controlling more than 200 nanosatellites in five different orbits, maintaining their relative distance with an ability to perform avoidance maneuvers if required, and providing 24/7 coverage service is a very complex challenge. It requires either a very large operations team, or a cutting-edge innovative autonomous algorithm that allows the nanosatellites in the constellation to interconnect and maintain their relative location and distance (a term called station keeping).
Sky and Space Global is always aspiring to maximize automation and reduce operational expenditure. And so, in the last year and a half we have developed, with the aid of a group of world-class aerospace engineers from SCISYS Darmstadt, an autonomous algorithm that allows satellites, for the first time, to autonomously maneuver by sharing information and making group decisions to keep the constellation up and running and avoid collisions with other space objects. This algorithm is already being tested in a system-of-systems super-simulation.

System-of-systems super-simulation – Bringing the network to life prior to launch
In order to evaluate and analyze the expected network’s Quality of Service, which is crucial information for our sales and marketing team when closing the Service License Agreement in a contract, a super-simulation was specified, designed and built.

This system-of-systems simulator, which will run on multiple cloud processing servers in parallel, is one of the most complicated ever being built. It allows Sky and Space Global to run network performance check scenarios, which include more than 200 satellites flying through space, and more than a million users accessing the network across the globe.
When operational, it will allow Sky and Space Global to validate expected waiting times, availability, voice call quality (including international and cross continent and Public Switched Telephone Network landlines), gateway bottlenecks and more.
The highlight of the breakthrough we achieved working on this super-simulator with the UK based SCISYS Ltd and our Software powerhouse Sky and Space Global (Poland), is the fact the cloud processing simulator uses the actual flight software in its simulated satellites. This is a unique and powerful way to validate network performance and flight software all at once, significantly reducing operational risks and costs.



Ground terminals – Connecting the users on the ground with the network, at the lowest cost possible
SAS Network (‘SASNet’) is a sum of all its parts, which includes the space segment, the network infrastructure, and the ground terminals, which are the means in which customers and users access the satellite communication services.
The challenge of designing a small, portable, resilient and low-cost satellite communication terminal is not trivial, and requires a great deal of ingenuity.
The terminals need to endure harsh environmental conditions, consume low power and be lightweight to maintain portability, while keeping specified performance in a secure and safe manner.
Sky and Space Global approached numerous satellite communication terminal manufacturers to come up with a cost-effective suitable design. However, this turned out to be quite challenging. High-quality and reliable, doesn’t usually suggest low cost, but for us this was a “make-or-break” condition.
Ten dollars’ difference in terminal cost is not a lot, but when you intend to manufacture hundreds or thousands of these devices it becomes very significant. This is why, after searching the globe, screening proposals and talking to engineers, we managed to narrow down our options to two manufacturing candidates that were found to be suitable for our commercial needs.

Software powerhouse – Six software projects running in parallel
In order to build the world’s first full IP based spaceborne network, Sky and Space Global had to “re-invent the wheel” and spin-in cellular solutions into 30,000km/hr flying routers we sometimes call “Nanosatellites”.

This is why we had to develop our own proprietary software product on all system elements that include:

• Space segment software o User management (authentication, usage bookkeeping, priority handling, etc)
o Dynamic resource allocation to the number of active users at any given time
o Modem control using ultrafast FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) processing
o Optimized Dynamic Routing through the network to latency (think flying cellular towers thousands of kilometers apart)
o SAS Unique Header Compression which is lighter on resources and provides a better header compression than competitors (allowing more data transfer and better channel usage)
o SIP (Standard Internet Protocol) compressor, which allows SAS to use SIP while reducing in up to 90 percent the bandwidth costs.

• Ground segment software o SAS External Users Server to allow users connected to GSM and WiFi to communicate with users connected to the satellites
o SAS Gateways to provide two-way fast and secure communication with customers servers, mainly for IoT and M2M services, but also for VOIP services
o SAS customer service management, to allow customers to manage their account, user’s data and usage.

• User applications
o “Chatellite” mobile app: used by mobile devices such as phones and tablets, to conduct phone calls, send and receive messages including attachments, perform financial transactions (using 3rd party apps) and sending and receiving voice recording (PTT style) o Ground terminal application: to allow hotspots and IoT terminals to communicate in an effective and safe manner (including cyber security protection layers).

Understanding the enormous challenges ahead, Sky and Space Global decided to build its own software powerhouse, in order to maintain full control over the “brains” of our network.
Anyone with deep pockets, can purchase hardware and launch satellites… having them function like ours, well that is a massive challenge and achievement.

Summary
The goal of this letter was not to provide accolades for Sky and Space Global, rather to provide you with a better understanding of the substantial technological breakthroughs and achievements we have had and continue to drive towards. In many aspects of commercial space endeavors, Sky and Space Global is at the forefront, and for some we are leading and setting the tone.
We are not resting, we push ourselves to always be on the forefront of technology and innovation while evaluating processes and performance so we can learn and improve… after all we’re changing the world.
But it is not easy to improve the world and do something no-one has done before, to make history and build something out of nothing. Sky and Space Global’s talented team has been able to lead and be the first in almost every aspect of the emerging commercial nanosatellite communications sector. We are focused on building a great business, one that will also have a lasting legacy that will improve the world and connect us all.
With utmost respect,

Wie lange ist denn das Teil noch vom Handel ausgesetzt ?

[Di2]

unter den aktuellen Bedingungen kann man froh sein, dass SAS nicht handelbar ist.

1. Finanzierung der 16 Nanosats für die globale Konstellation ist noch nicht final geklärt
2. Es gibt keine in AUS ansässigen Direktoren (das ist eine rechtliche Voraussetzung)

Beide Punkte hängen aber engzusammen. Direktoren lassen sich wohl nur auf das Geschäft ein, wenn eine realistische Chance besteht das Projekt zu finanzieren. Sollte man die beiden Personen finden, muss zwingen vorab ein konkreter Plan veröffentlicht werden. Alles andere würde in einem Blutbad enden und der Kurs würde ins bodenlose stürtzen (ja, da gehts noch weiter runter )

Aufgrund der jüngsten Infos bin ich etwas beruhigter als vor ein paar Wochen, dass SAS den Karren nochmal aus dem Dreck ziehen kann....aber mal abwarten...

Zitat von Di2: Dear Shareholders,

As we approach the end of the 2019 financial year, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support, as we reacted to a growing demand for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services by quickly pivoting our initial satellite and launch programme from an Equatorial coverage to a Global coverage.
As the space sector becomes more and more appealing to companies, I am proud that Sky and Space Global is at the forefront of the new global commercial space industry. We are doing things that no-one else has done before, and have progressed at a very rapid pace over the past few months. The foundations we have now put in place, and are putting the final touches on, will ultimately make Sky and Space Global a dominant player in the space market with a strong and attractive global business.

At the forefront of nanosatellite technology development
Recent company newsflow has unfortunately not focused on the significant technology inroads we have achieved, and I would like to highlight just a few in this letter.
By leveraging our innovative standard in the build of the original Pearls nanosatellites for the Equatorial constellation, we have been developing an algorithm that will enable our nanosatellites to autonomously manoeuvre by sharing information and making group decisions to keep the constellation up and running and avoid collisions with other space objects.
We have identified two manufacturing candidates for the build of our ground terminals, providing connectivity for end users. These terminals will meet our stringent requirements that include enduring harsh environmental conditions, consuming low power, be lightweight and portable, and meet our specified performance in a secure and safe manner.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and our software company in Poland is proving this every day. Our requirement for a very efficient communication system has resulted in advanced algorithms for data compression and transfer that are at the forefront of technology and current capabilities, and we continue to challenge ourselves even further.
Agreement signed with GomSpace for Global Coverage fleet of nanosatellites
This Monday we announced the signing of a definitive agreement with GomSpace for the provision and manufacturing by GomSpace of an additional fleet of nanosatellites (“6U Agreement”) to support our new Global Coverage fleet, allowing full global coverage and underpinning Sky and Space Global’s ability to:


• Enter new markets (including Australia, Russia, China, South Africa, Argentina, Canada)
• Generate higher revenues with the added coverage capability
• Reduce risk by using space proven hardware and technology.
In addition, Sky and Space Global and GomSpace have agreed to finalise negotiations regarding changes to the existing Pearls nanosatellites manufacturing agreement within 30 days (or such longer period as the parties may agree). We will keep you informed of further developments.
Potential revenue opportunities increased with Global Coverage
The response to the new Global Coverage fleet of nanosatellites for IoT and M2M services has been highly positive:
• 16 of Sky and Space Global’s existing customers have expressed their intent to increase the value of their existing contracts – including major telecommunication companies such as BT Telecom, Telespazio, Globe Teleservices, and Gondwana
• New market opportunities are also opening with the potential for new revenue generating agreements with 6 new Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and 4 new Reseller Agreements signed.

Although currently there are no revenues from these MOUs and Reseller Agreements, we expect future potential revenues to be generated from them once full commercial contracts have been signed and the Global Coverage fleet of nanosatellites has been launched.
All of these MoUs and Reseller Agreements are the result of hard work by our product, marketing and sales team. We will keep progressing on the commercial front, turning client leads into opportunities, opportunities into agreements, and following the launch of our 1st batch, turning these agreements into revenues.

Expected launch in early-2020
With the changes to the business plan outlined above, the expected launch of our first batch of nanosatellites was delayed from mid-2019 to early-2020. Having signed two MoUs with Arianespace SA and Rocket Lab, we are broadening our launch opportunities while reducing the risk of being dependant on a single launch provider to realise our business plan.
Focused on the Company’s financial position to support progress to launch
Negotiations with US debt financing for launch are progressing, with discussions on a term sheet at an advanced stage.
In addition, the Company continues to make substantial progress reducing its operating expenditure since 9 April 2019, saving a total of A$2 million in annualised operating expenditure. As part of the Company’s cost savings initiatives, the Company’s founders and directors decided to reduce their remuneration by 50%, setting a personal example and showing a vote of confidence in the Company. Founders and Directors have also invested $300,000 as approved at the Shareholder Meeting on 8 April.


Joining the senior team in a consulting capacity, Sky and Space Global recently appointed Ian Pamensky, an ASX-experienced CFO, as Finance Consultant to ensure the Company is appropriately resourced with strong financial oversight.
Board update
The process for appointing two Australian directors with the requisite skills and experience to support the Company and the shareholders’ best interests continues to move forward, and we will keep our shareholders informed when appointments are made.
The bigger picture
While it’s human nature to focus on specifics like the nanosatellites, agreements, launch plans, and so on, it’s important that things are put into perspective. Sky and Space Global’s team of engineers, space experts, programmers and product marketing specialists have achieved a lot in a very short time, positioning our unique technology and value proposition at the forefront of the global space industry.
We are managing and running over 20 different projects – from nanosatellite development, manufacturing and testing; ground control systems and ConOps; constellation simulator; collision avoidance algorithms; ground terminals; advanced communication protocols; launch support; product development and management; marketing and sales efforts and activities; IT systems and infrastructure; spectrum coordination and registration; commercial partnerships initiation and more.

Delivering world-first technology
As outlined above, we have been very busy putting in place the foundations necessary to become a successful global commercial nanosatellite company and a satellite communication service provider that sets new standards in the global space industry through technological innovation. Our new Global Coverage has rapidly increased the potential revenue opportunities available to the Company. We are progressing to launch in 2020, and to providing commercial satellite communication services and generating revenues.
I would like to once again thank you for your continued support, and look forward to providing further updates.


Yours sincerely,
Meir Moalem Managing Director & CEO

Notitzen aus dem heutigen Meeting

Here is some point from this hook up for people that could not make it:
The meeting took around 40 minutes with half allocated to resolutions and half to SH questions.

Q: Cap raise at the moment - where are we at?
A: The road show in Asia and Australia was really good but would not comment beyond that.

Q: Is 15mil be enough and what will it delv?
A: 15mil will be enough to get us fist assets in space the next 12 months to start generating revenue. That is the goal. Finance will hopefully be completed by next week. This is for the 8 commercial sats, ground terminals, contract launch date.

Q: Sats going up next year will that be 8 or 16?
A: 8 Sats and following that we will launch an additional 8.

Q: Looking for confirmation on which quarter the 8 sats will be launched next year?
A: Q4 and we will do everything we can to get it done by Q3. This depends on the production of the sats but also on the launch opportunities that will match our requirements. It looks like by next year there will be monthly opportunities but not all of them suitable. Currently assume Q4/2020.

Q: Is Gomspace the sat manufacturer or are you talking to other companies?
A: Gomsapce is still the manufacturer and are waiting for us to complete the funding and start the manufacturing of the first 8 sats.

Q: When do you think the negotiation regarding the pearls will conclude?
A: This depending on securing the next stage funding but we are not currently focused on that. First get the 8 sats done and we or Gomspace are not focused on the pearls right now.

Q: What is happening with the diamonds?
A: They are being used for the following:
- Commercial demonstration
- They providing a testing facility in space (services, technology etc)
- Training our team.
- Spectrum monitoring

Q: What global coverage will the 8 sats give us, and commercial outcome?
A: Global coverage and provide service any where in the world. Regarding revenue we are not releasing any forecast. I would add that when we went for the last CR we had 29 customers signed in and now we have over 50 and we are signing more customers as times moves forward.

Q: Will it be IOT or M2M?
A: It will start with both. Services can be used from day one.

Q: Last Ann refereed to Q4 on page 18 and Q3 on page 19. I assume that G1 means Global as apposed to the pearl launch. If you want to comment on that.
A: The time line now - we are doing the CR now so this has shifted a bit. So Q4 is more realistic figure.

Q: Have you had any feed back on the grants that you applied for in Europe?
A: We did not include any grants as we have been conservative. We are in the process of applying for grants in multiple arenas. The US finance process is still moving forward, we will continue to work to get that approved. We have also applied in Poland, UK and Europe. These amount vary from 1 mil upwards.
We address this as opportunity's and do not include these in our cap flow.
