Milbank LLP partner Dara Panahy will moderate “The Renaissance of Satellite: New Business Models Across the Value Chain” panel, in partnership with Global Satellite Operators Association (GSOA), at the SATELLITE 2024 conference on March 19, 2024 in Washington, DC. Mr. Panahy will be joined by speakers from NigComSat, Sateliot, SpaceBridge, Arianespace and Terran Orbital Corporation.

The satellite industry is going through an unprecedented phase of growth and innovation, with new entrepreneurial settings, leapfrogging of well-established technologies, vertical integration and multiorbit operations driving the industry ecosystem into a constant state of re-invention. Panelists will discuss how this is leading to increased pressure on investment and the need to define new business models as well as the current evolution of products, services and the overall market.  

Mr. Panahy, who leads the firm’s Transportation and Space practice in Washington, DC, focuses on the representation of satellite and space infrastructure operators, aerospace manufacturers, launch services providers, communications, earth observation and data services companies, banks, private equity firms, hedge funds and other investors in debt and equity offerings, project, structured and vendor financings, mergers & acquisitions, financial restructurings and in negotiating commercial contracts. Milbank’s Space Business Group distributes a roundup of space industry developments in Milbank's monthly Space Business Review newsletter.

SATELLITE 2024, which runs March 18–21, 2024 has remained at the epicenter of innovation in the satellite and space community, with an expansive program of executive-level discussions, financial insights, technical content and visionary keynotes delivered by industry luminaries and trailblazers.
