Proud CEO of the only 100% global wireless satellite network coming to you from 780km above you. Reliable * Critical * Lifelines

@McDowellTweet @IridiumComm We appreciate you as a customer (and I don’t think my marketing team could have taken a more spectacular use case photo! ;)

[74th Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin @GovernorVA74]

It was a privilege to tour @IridiumComm’s Satellite Network Operations Center in Leesburg alongside @BrendanCarrFCC, and to learn about their apprenticeship program that’s building Virginia’s future workforce in satellite communications.

By investing in talent, our Commonwealth is poised to remain the global leader for space-tech innovation.

[Robert M. McDowell @McDowellTweet]

Great to be with ⁦@GovernorVA⁩ ⁦@BrendanCarrFCC⁩ and ⁦@IridiumBoss⁩ at an historic tour today of Iridium’s operational HQ in Va. We all learned a lot!

[Matt Desch @IridiumBoss]

Short-hopped it, but declared victory anyway...

Only strikes and home runs at Iridium's Family Fun Day! ⚾🛰️

Team Iridium had a great game, with @IridiumBoss throwing the first pitch!

[IMSO @IMSOHQ]

On 9 December 2024, IMSO Director General Laurent Parenté received Matthew J. Desch, CEO of Iridium, at IMSO Headquarters who kindly donated a Lars Thrane LT-3100S GMDSS terminal, now proudly on display at IMSO.

@DougonIPComm @IridiumComm I’d pay for that! ;)

[Matt Desch @IridiumBoss]

Working to help others - it’s how we’re wired!

[Iridium @IridiumComm]

For Iridium #ImpactDay, our Arizona offices teamed up with Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels (@ahrangels) to make blankets and care kits for kids and families who spend an extended amount of time in hospitals

Truly global starts local 🌐 #IridiumCares

The payback on these days together are so much greater than the investment of our time. It's a reminder for the whole Iridium team of how fortunate we are, and what impact we can make together for those less so...

[Iridium @IridiumComm]

This Iridium #ImpactDay, our team in Virginia packed meals and school supplies for children of all ages in need for the Northern Virginia Family Service (@nvfs)

Just received telemetry from all 5 satellites over Svalbard. All healthy and talking! Thank you @SpaceX, @Thales_Alenia_S and all the team members that got these satellites to space. We got it from here!

[Matt Desch @IridiumBoss]

Absolutely love you guys. Even got me counting down! We appreciate this gift, and apologize publicly to SV101...

[Ira Mollay @iramollay]

Congrats from everyone here at OxidanSky to @IridiumBoss and the whole @IridiumComm team on the beautiful #Iridium9 launch! 🚀🛰🎊
I couldn’t help putting a little gift together to celebrate the launch. Enjoy! 🤩

I thought my choice this launch was right on point for Iridium today...

[Iridium @IridiumComm]

Among the rules for each playlist: @iridiumboss gets to choose a song. For #Iridium7, it was Burning Down the House by Talking Heads. For #Iridium8 - You Can't Touch This by MC Hammer. This time? Look What We've Become by @GracePotter starts at T-plus 18:08 #Iridium9

[Matt Desch @IridiumBoss]

@DougonIPComm @IridiumComm Can't eat until it's all over! Glad to be in space now though, and our Satellite Network Ops Center is looking forward to catching these last 5 in a few...

[Matt Desch @IridiumBoss]

26 years ago today - May 5, 1997 - the launch of Iridium’s first satellites. Proud of our journey since then by our team and partners!

[Matt Desch @IridiumBoss]

@Vivekdarapaneni They are perfect just the way they are...

[Matt Desch @IridiumBoss]

One of the most balanced articles on D2D I've read. Nicely done, @mikeddano ... https://t.co/OqudYOoRiz. We will be one of the winners - but the market will take time to develop and expectations should be managed.

[Matt Desch @IridiumBoss]

Big news from the Mobile World Congress this morning... https://t.co/dED3twfjQs. Everyone can be safe and connected soon.

6 years ago today, at 9:54:39am Vandenberg, I was sure I was having "The Big One" during the first launch of Iridium NEXT. It was the RTF after the last F9 failure and my team and friends at @SpaceX were likely feeling the same way (now ~167 ago!). How time has flown!
