It was a privilege to tour @IridiumComm’s Satellite Network Operations Center in Leesburg alongside @BrendanCarrFCC, and to learn about their apprenticeship program that’s building Virginia’s future workforce in satellite communications.

Working to help others - it’s how we’re wired!
For Iridium #ImpactDay, our Arizona offices teamed up with Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels (@ahrangels) to make blankets and care kits for kids and families who spend an extended amount of time in hospitals

The payback on these days together are so much greater than the investment of our time. It's a reminder for the whole Iridium team of how fortunate we are, and what impact we can make together for those less so...
This Iridium #ImpactDay, our team in Virginia packed meals and school supplies for children of all ages in need for the Northern Virginia Family Service (@nvfs)

Just received telemetry from all 5 satellites over Svalbard. All healthy and talking! Thank you @SpaceX, @Thales_Alenia_S and all the team members that got these satellites to space. We got it from here!

Absolutely love you guys. Even got me counting down! We appreciate this gift, and apologize publicly to SV101...
Congrats from everyone here at OxidanSky to @IridiumBoss and the whole @IridiumComm team on the beautiful #Iridium9 launch! 🚀🛰🎊
I couldn’t help putting a little gift together to celebrate the launch. Enjoy! 🤩

I thought my choice this launch was right on point for Iridium today...
Among the rules for each playlist: @IridiumBoss gets to choose a song. For #Iridium7, it was Burning Down the House by Talking Heads. For #Iridium8 - You Can't Touch This by MC Hammer. This time? Look What We've Become by @gracepotter starts at T-plus 18:08 #Iridium9

26 years ago today - May 5, 1997 - the launch of Iridium’s first satellites. Proud of our journey since then by our team and partners!

One of the most balanced articles on D2D I've read. Nicely done, @mikeddano ... lightreading.com/satellite/spot…. We will be one of the winners - but the market will take time to develop and expectations should be managed.

6 years ago today, at 9:54:39am Vandenberg, I was sure I was having "The Big One" during the first launch of Iridium NEXT. It was the RTF after the last F9 failure and my team and friends at @SpaceX were likely feeling the same way (now ~167 ago!). How time has flown!

Likewise! Glad to finally show the world what we've been working on together for more than two years. Looking forward to the first @Snapdragon Satellite enabled smartphone later this year!
Great to touch base with @IridiumComm CEO Matt Desch (@IridiumBoss) at #CES2023. Very excited about the collab between Iridium and @Qualcomm, which has already yielded a truly differentiated solution with @Snapdragon Satellite. Can't wait to see how far we take this!

I am fascinated by this. It would only take about 10 minutes longer for one of our satellites also to circle the planet…. laughingsquid.com/international-…

I’m sympathetic to the huge technical and regulatory hills they have yet to climb, but we’ve climbed those mountains already and can address this exciting new market today with our very flexible network. We’re taking very different approaches, and there will be others too.
Partnering up with $ASTS could be a great fit.
Your thoughts Sir?
