Costs	AAC Clyde Space won a GBP 4.3 M order for 11 satellite kits from LusoSpace.
Oneliner	VDES communications constellation.
Description	LusoSpace intends to combine the EPIC 8U satellites into a VDES communication constellation, to be launched late 2025. The order follows an initial order for a 3U satellite received earlier in Q4, 2023. The satellites will be equipped with a VDES (VHF Data Exchange System) payload. VDES was developed to meet the increasing need for data communication between maritime users, providing faster data transfer rates with greater integrity than current VHF data link systems.
Notes	Initial order for a 3U satellite received earlier in Q4, 2023
