The era of mega-constellations is no longer exclusive to giants like SpaceX and Amazon. Paul 'Rusty' Thomas, a former executive at both companies and now CEO of EnduroSat USA, predicts a future with 100,000 satellites in orbit—a milestone he believes is rapidly approaching. This explosion in satellite deployment is being fueled by advancements in mass-producible payloads and modular satellite platforms like EnduroSat's Frame ESPA-class satellite. The technology to launch, operate, and maintain such a large number of satellites in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment already exists, paving the way for a new wave of innovation in space. This isn't just about the big players anymore; the democratization of space is here. Buckle up.

Passengers onboard our Silversonic dive and snorkel vessel and Pro Dive Cairns Liveaboard vessel had rare whale shark encounters within days of each other at Turtle Bay on the Agincourt reefs (Silversonic) and at Flynn Reef off Cairns (Pro Dive Cairns). The spectacular whale shark sighting encountered by Silversonic's passengers and crew measured around 6m in length and was travelling slowly in a north west direction.
