SmallSats and CubeSats in Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) have for many years been limited by the short ground station overpass time (around ten minutes per overpass). The use of LEO satellites for real-time applications have therefore been restricted. 

The market for unmanned aerial vehicles, or simply UAVs, is booming. But with high demand follows the risk of rushed development. A good example is Beyond Line of Sight operations that have opened new possibilities but also implied new risks of both loss of connection, data or even the UAV itself.

Our latest BAT v1.4.9 and BNE v4.4.9 releases are now available for download from ftp.gatehouse.dk. Both are stability and maintenance releases with minor bug fixes.

The smallsat industry is accelerating at remarkable speed these days. According to several reports, the market for the small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites is growing by 20 percent a year and is projected to reach $62 billion in 2030.
