The integration of LEO, MEO and GEO orbits are poised to enhance connectivity and operational resilience. As governments and commercial entities increasingly embrace multi-orbit strategies, the industry builds a stronger foundation for a more adaptable and resilient future in satcom. An increase in demand for MEO and LEO services has not resulted in a drop in demand for GEO. CASR, or the Commercial Augmented Space Reserve, is a new way for commercial companies to support military satellites in orbit. Geist predicts that the largest disruptor in MILSATCOM will be digitization, which will act as a gateway technology to automating many satellite networking functions.
