Description
GovSat is a Luxembourg-based satellite communications operator established in 2015 through a public-private partnership between the Luxembourg Government and SES, one of the world's leading satellite operators. Created to address the growing need for secure and resilient communications, GovSat provides dedicated satellite capacity and managed services for governmental, defence, civil protection, and institutional security missions. Its solutions are designed to support critical operations in challenging and remote environments, where reliable connectivity is essential.

GovSat-1 was launched in 2018 and is designed to remain operational until 2038. GovSat-1 provides dedicated satellite capacity for government and institutional users, supporting defence and security applications with assured, mission-focused connectivity. Its non-preemptible, reliable, and fully accessible service delivers high-performance satellite communications across both X-band and Military Ka-band. Operating on military frequencies, GovSat-1 ensures high availability for critical operations spanning Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Southwest Asia, and key maritime regions.

GovSat-2, the second military communications satellite, is expected to launch over the European geostationary arc in 2029. Joining GovSat-1, it will enhance reliable, non-preemptible services for government and defence users across the region.
Equipped with UHF, X-band, and Military Ka-band capacity, the geostationary satellite will be engineered with hardened security, advanced anti-jamming capabilities, and embedded geolocation, extending coverage and service assurance to meet the highest defence standards.
