Luxembourg and US form satcom partnership

by Olivia Savage

Luxembourg and the US have established a space-based partnership to promote satellite communications (satcom) co-operation within NATO.

Known as the ‘Global Commercially Contracted Satellite Communications Support Partnership' (GCC SATCOM SP), the joint agreement is intended to enable participating countries to jointly manage satcom services via the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).

Announced on 31 October by NSPA, the partnership intends to promote synergies and economies of scale not achievable through national contracting processes.

This partnership will provide the framework for additional NATO allies to participate in the future, the announcement said.
