Space has been a traditional driver for many large nations’ militaries, but the “new space” technology sector may be more appropriate for Germany since it applies to smaller use cases, said Thomas Sattelberger, a member of the German Bundestag from the state of Bavaria and a member of the nation’s Free Democratic Party. Some European government leaders want to get more involved. While there is currently an appetite for these companies to work on both American and European commercial programs aimed at creating major space-based constellations, the vast majority of government-funded programs still reside in the United States.

The “new space” sector arrived with a bang in the last half decade, thanks to rapid developments in launch capability, reduced launch costs and the business case for small-satellite technology showing promise. military’s small satellites can communicate effectively with commercial constellations in development by Amazon, SpaceX, OneWeb, Telesat and more. Mynaric also worked with other cross-link providers as well as the Space Development Agency to develop an interoperability standard to ensure laser cross-links on the U.S. The company is currently providing its optical cross-link terminals for DARPA’s Blackjack program, which seeks to prove the viability of a proliferated small satellite constellation in low Earth orbit. Mynaric is counting on that bet: Officials announced plans to produce 2,000 units per year by using a diversified supply of commercial off-the-shelf components as well as specific proprietary, built-to-print components selected for their scalability and redundancy. Using satellites isn’t quite as easy, yet,” Mynaric CEO Bulent Altan said at the opening event of the production facility. But German-based companies like Mynaric and microsatellite launcher Isar Aerospace are betting that, in the long run, Germany and other European governments will understand the value of their products - not just for the commercial market but also for government and defense uses.
