Open Cosmos selected for the UK's £8 billion Tactical Communication System framework

Open Cosmos was selected as an approved provider under the UK government's TacSys procurement framework.

ConnectedCosmos is intended to support secure and resilient satellite communications under the framework. The overall procurement framework has a potential value of £8 billion and runs until June 2034.
