ReOrbit and SLI Sign €150m Contract for Small GEO Satellites

ReOrbit, a Finland-based satellite manufacturer, has signed an agreement with asset-financing specialist SLI (formerly Space Leasing International) for the purchase of two next-generation geostationary (GEO) communication satellites with a combined value of €150 million.

The deal comes as governments and operators worldwide are accelerating their drive towards fully independent sovereign space infrastructures. Through SLI’s platform, satellite operators can access advanced technology on leasing terms instead of outright purchase, supporting more capital-efficient satellite deployment.
