5th ESA Workshop on Advanced Flexible Telecom Payloads

VENUE: ESA/ECSAT 
DATE: 18 - 20 March 2025

It is our pleasure to announce the 5th ESA Workshop on Advanced Flexible Telecom Payloads jointly organised by the European Space Agency’s Directorates of Technology, Engineering and Quality Management (D/TEC) and Connectivity and Secure Communications (D/CSC). This edition will take place on 18th - 20th March 2025 at ESA/ECSAT (United Kingdom).

We have been witnessing revolutionary achievements in payload technologies and products, enabling the development of in-orbit reconfigurable telecommunication satellites. These advances in the payload technology play a crucial role to achieve the highest level of adaptability in the dynamic allocation of finite on-board satellite resources, coverage and capacity to answer the everchanging needs of our telecom market. Modular technologies, digitally configurable payload units, reconfigurable antennas, high-performance on-board processors with dense integration levels of contemporary electronic-photonic technologies, incorporation of machine learning and artificial intelligence to boost the autonomy of our satellite networks are just a few among many topics that the workshop will address.

Established in 2008, the workshop is a unique opportunity to explore the advances in flexible payload products and solutions, to engage in discussion sessions led by the experts in the field and to connect with participants from a large variety of domains in the telecommunication business Worldwide.

Workshop registration is open to Worldwide satcom stakeholders, including operators, manufacturers, research institutions and universities.
