Space Systems International – Monaco S.A.M. (SSI-Monaco) is a Monegasque company specialized in satellite telecommunications. Its history is closely tied to the development of Monaco's presence in space through the MonacoSAT program. A key early milestone came in 2010, when SSI-Monaco S.A.M. and the Government of Monaco signed a license agreement for the use of frequencies at the 52°East orbital position. This secured Monaco's orbital slot and laid the foundation for a national satellite project. In 2015, SSI-Monaco launched its first telecommunications satellite, Monacosat-1, a Ku-band spacecraft manufactured by Thales Alenia Space and launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral, USA, on 27 April 2015. Monacosat-1 is a joint project with the Government of Turkmenistan and is also known as TurkmenÄlem 52E/Monacosat-1. Its mission is mainly for direct-to-home (DTH) services across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia. According to the company, the satellite covers more than 1.6 billion people located in Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. In 2017, SSI-Monaco created Monacosat S.A.M. (Société Anonyme Monegasque), a corporate entity whose aim is to develop and operate future satellite programs. The company subsequently announced plans for Monacosat-2, a future telecommunications satellite program intended to develop new markets with the latest satellite technologies, help new countries gain telecommunications sovereignty, reduce the digital divide and bring high-speed internet applications to populations.
