ManSat CEO Chris Stott has been appointed chairman of the Society of Satellite Professionals International, the industry's largest global professional association.
His one-year term as chairman comes as he finishes a similar stint as the SSPI's president.
Chris says this is superb recognition for the Isle of Man and its burgeoning satellite industry.
His appointment comes as ManSat continues to support a new, global awareness campaign from the SSPI - 'How Satellites Make A Better World'.
Chris has been involved in a promotional video produced by the SSPI, titled 'What Has A Satellite Done For You Lately?':
