London, United Kingdom, January 23, 2020 --(PR.com)-- 2020 is the decade of the mega-constellation. Already this year, SpaceX’s new Starlink constellation has launched 60 mass produced small satellites to deliver broadband to every corner of the globe. This is just the start, with numerous companies planning to launch their own constellations in the coming years.

With such an exciting decade for mega-constellations ahead, SMi Group is pleased to host Small Satellites 2020, which is set to convene in London this April.
