For this week’s Thursday Morning Conversation (TMC), Via Satellite goes back to the Middle East to talk to Thuraya CEO Ali Al Hashemi about a variety of topics. Ali has been watching interesting YouTube videos with his children during lockdown, like learning about what people eat on submarines. What a great question! On the satellite side, we delve into how challenging the last few months have been for Thuraya, as well as the company’s exciting vision for the future with its Thuraya 4 program, and what the next chapter of the Thuraya story will be.

Via Satellite’s Thursday Morning Conversations are the newest way to learn about the latest news in the satellite industry. From interviews with industry leaders and discussions with newcomers in space and satellite to debates among Via Satellite staff and chats about the latest in sports and pop culture, TMC will be your go-to for a Thursday morning respite.
