This agreement helped put Cyprus on the global satellite map and was an important step in strengthening the country’s position as a successful regional satellite communications centre. In 2019, the company successfully launched its third satellite, Hellas Sat 4, into orbit.

The new satellite will extend capacity and geographical reach to meet the growing demand for applications that include video, internet and mobile phone services, maritime connectivity, cellular backhaul, corporate networks and government services. It is also the most advanced commercial communications satellite ever built by Lockheed Martin. Cyprus has been gaining ground in the field of space-tech services and has so far granted 10 licences to organisations to launch telecommunication satellites using space that Cyprus has secured through the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). The number of licences is substantial, as many countries in the world have issued only one licence. The country’s economic benefit from these services is expected to multiply as more satellites are launched. This type of activity also boosts the prestige of Cyprus as a country engaged in space technology services, and its strategic advantages are increasingly promoted in a bid to attract infrastructure to Cyprus from the European Space Agency. The growing sector has also inspired new endeavours on the academic front, such as the Eratosthenes Centre of Excellence (ECoE), created by the Cyprus University of Technology in 2018, to conduct research into space technologies. Its Excelsior project is motivated by the big European space programmes like Galileo and Copernicus and their downstream effects on European economy and science. The project’s vision is to establish the ECoE as a world-class Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) for earth observation and geospatial information in the next few years and becoming the reference centre in the Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa (EMMENA). 20
