An excerpt from the article that coincided with the SP increase:
--
But here’s the thing…
4.4 billion people around the world don’t have reliable internet.
In other words, 60% of the global population has zero internet access
And, according to the Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI), more than half of those 4.4 billion people can’t afford internet access at today’s prices
Musk’s 4,000 strong satellite network —stretching across the entire planet — will mean every man, woman and child on Earth will have easy and affordable access to the internet.
According to Rajeev Badyal, head of Musk’s SpaceX Avionics division:
‘Once the 4,000-satellite network is in place, all you'd need is a small, pizza-box shaped receiver, which could be put anywhere outside, and you could have fast internet on the North Pole, the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the top of Mount Everest — anywhere.’
The stated aim of Musk’s satellite internet constellation is to beam high-speed internet to regions where no internet exists today.
In as little as three years, you could see 4.4 billion people hit ‘the net’ for the first time EVER.
Imagine a world where…
Children in the most remote geographic locations can access quality education online…
Whole new industries will rise as businesses race to serve the billions of people piling in online…
Millions of new jobs created…and, in turn, living standards and incomes rise…
A new ‘internet-ready’ world — for all mankind — will be a better, safer and wealthier place to live.
For established tech giants like Amazon, Google and Facebook an internet-soaked planet means billions more customers…and, of course, billions in extra revenues.
They could see their customer base DOUBLE overnight.
No wonder the biggest names in tech are pouring money into this space now, before it hits critical mass.
- Google and Fidelity have handed Musk $1 billion to build his global wireless internet network…
- A consortium led by Virgin founder Richard Branson has backed a similar satellite internet project with $500 million in funds…
- Mark Zuckerberg has said that Facebook wants to ‘beam internet to people from the Sky.’ And that his goal is to bring ‘affordable access to basic internet services available to every person in the world.’
- Even Coca-Cola — the biggest soft drink manufacturer in the world — has tipped millions into a ‘space internet’ project.
But there’s one hitch to Musk’s plans…
And the high-tech solution to this is in the hands of a little Canberra-based specialist.
This Aussie tech company is vital to the long term sustainability of Musk’s global wireless internet network.
And for you it could be an opportunity to turn every $500 you put down into $6,935starting today.
That’s 14 times your
money from a single $500 stake!
To give you an idea of the eye-popping technology this Aussie firm is producing, and why companies like Musk’s SpaceX urgentlyneed it…take a look at the image to your right.
See those white dots? That’s ‘space junk’.
NASA says that: ‘More than 500,000 pieces of debris,’ or ‘space junk’ are tracked as they orbit the Earth.
NASA explains that ‘space junk’ can include things like old rockets, abandoned satellites, and missile shrapnel. In other words, space has become a giant rubbish tip.
All this means it’s increasingly dangerous to launch anything into space.
The growth in space junk is exponential.
The more we launch into space, the greater the likelihood that existing debris will collide with a new spacecraft.
This will create even more debris...and so on and so forth.
For example, in 2007, China’s anti-satellite test used a missile to destroy an old weather satellite. This added more than 3,000 pieces of debris to an already big problem.
And in 2009, a defunct Russian satellite collided with and destroyed a US Iridium commercial satellite. This added more than 2,000 trackable pieces of debris to the list.
All this means that one or more of Musk’s satellites could be seriously damaged or destroyed by a lone piece of high-speed space debris…
…A problem that risks the reliability and sustainability of Musk’s global internet dream.
What this problem needs is a high-tech solution…
And that’s EXACTLY where this ASX-listed company comes in.
‘Like something out of Star Wars…’
One solution is technology to track the space junk.
This enables spacecraft to map safe passage through the minefield. But that’s increasingly hard to do.
For instance, in 2012, the International Space Station had to make four orbital adjustments to avoid space debris.
But tracking debris is only one part of the solution.
A more effective approach would be the ability to both track and move, or vaporise, harmful space debris.
For years, tracking this debris was the only viable solution.
And as The Australian reported, current alert systems are ‘neither accurate, nor timely enough for cost effective satellite manoeuvres.’
Until now.
Because one Aussie tech company has created protective space technology that’s right out of the realms of Star Wars.
In the space industry they call it space ablation. That’s a mouthful.
But all it really means is using high-powered laser energy to move an object from a distant point.
, blasting the space junk out of the way with a specially designed ‘space-laser’.
What is Space Ablation?
Ablation is the process of removing debris from a surface using high-power energy.
In the case of space ablation, it’s using laser beams from the surface of the earth, precisely targeted at space debris to vaporise the debris or move it.
Think about moving a basketball with a firehose, that’s the principle behind Space Ablation.
Or if (like me) you love movies, it’s like how the Death Star destroyed Alderaan in Star Wars...just in a friendlier, non-world destroying nature.
Shooting space junk
from 35,000km away
‘Space laser’ technology can potentially save companies — like SpaceX — hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
Here’s why…
The thousands of satellites Musk and SpaceX plan on shooting into space need to stay safely out of the way of space ‘junk’.
The mass array of satellites simply won’t be able to change course to avoid all the space debris in orbit.
Inevitably some will be hit.
But it would be far easier and more cost effective if there was technology that could track debris nearing the array, which would allow the use of ‘space ablation’ laser technology to move or destroy the oncoming debris.
This Canberra-based tech company has pioneered revolutionary technology designed to do exactly that.
The breakthrough technology they’ve invented allows them to both track and blast space debris from orbit.
And today, you’ve got a rare opportunity to get in on a ground-floor company before the rest of the market realises what’s unfolding and piles in.
Let me show you…
In partnership with $60 billion Aerospace and Defence giant, Lockheed Martin, this ASX pioneer is about to open the doors on a brand new, West Australian-based space tracking facility.
This is a world-class facility.
According to their CEO, this facility ‘will provide a space debris tracking capacity equal to 25% of all capacity presently accessible to space industry globally, and with enhanced accuracy.’
In other words, they’ll have the most powerful and accurate space ablation technology on the planet.
Making them the ‘go-to’ company for the protection of multi-billion dollar ‘vulnerable space assets’ like Musk’s world-changing internet satellite constellation.
And the most likely candidate for any company that launches ultra-expensive technology into orbit.
I’m convinced a deal between the two will be struck before Musk starts the first round of satellite launches next year.
Why?
Well, Musk’s satellite internet array will cost billions to put in the sky. So to spend a few million protecting each of the satellites from space debris is a no-brainer.
As the CEO of this Aussie tech firm pointed out in December 2015:
‘Potential debris collisions with individual satellites are becoming increasingly likely and can cause economic loss of between $25 million and $500 million per event.
‘An avalanche of collisions, where one collision causes another until many satellites are destroyed is increasingly likely. Such an event could destroy hundreds of satellites and impair the global economy for decades.’
In other words, protective measures against disruptions to the SpaceX high-speed internet service make perfect financial sense.
Here’s where it gets interesting for you as an investor…
Few in the mainstream media realise the full potential of this Aussie firm and their incredible ‘space laser’ technology. You won’t read about this tiny ASX-listed firm in the business section of The Age or Herald Sun.
And that means — for now — the stock remains relatively cheap.
But I don’t think it will for too much longer.
The time to jump on this opportunity is now while you can still ‘buy-in’ at today’s low prices.
Look…if a deal between SpaceX and this Aussie pioneer were already made, this ASX-listed firm would, in all likelihood, be trading a lot higher.
The perfect time for you to buy — and reap the most reward — is before these deals are tied up.
That’s the opportunity that stands in front of you today.
The new space laser facility in Western Australian makes this Aussie company the preeminent choice for space ‘protection’ services.
I believe there’s an extremely strong chance technology giants — like SpaceX — will look to this company for help in guarding their billion dollar satellite networks.
Protecting future internet satellite constellations is a huge growth channel for this tiny Aussie tech firm.
I don’t think Musk will be the first — or last — entrepreneur who sees the moneymaking potential in high-speed internet beamed from space…seeking out this ASX innovator to help guard their assets.
For example, a consortium of uber-wealthy entrepreneurs, including Virgin founder Richard Branson, have backed another company — Oneweb — with a $500 million investment to launch a similar internet-ready satellite network.
But this Aussie tech pioneer isn’t banking only on future projects to fund growth…
They’re already teamed up with a handful of the biggest names in aerospace and defence to protect their ‘vulnerable space assets’…and they’re making millions in the process…
And the mega-deals keep on coming…
In August 2014, they announced a Space Collaboration Agreement with Aerospace and Defence giant, Lockheed Martin [NYSE:LMT].
The reason for this collaboration is to provide space tracking services to the space industry from a new Western Australian based facility due to open its doors this year.
Once operational, this facility will have the capacity of 25% of the world’s current tracking capabilities…and will be able to track space debris — no bigger than a marble — from 35,000 kilometres away!
This deal with Lockheed Martin is a major milestone for the company.
That’s because this Aussie tech pioneer has been working on their space tracking sensor technology for 10 years.
And with the US$60 billion giant Lockheed Martin behind them, it’s vindication that their proprietary space sensors are the real deal.
In addition to the Lockheed deal, the space sensor was also approved by the US Air Force for use in their Space Surveillance System.
This space-collaboration between the US and Australia also serves a military function. The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) explains:
‘Australia, the US and other countries recognise the right of all nations to access space for peaceful purposes. SSA can support this, by predicting threats to such access, including…deliberate interference (such as by other satellites or ground-based missiles).
‘As a result, SSA could also be used to monitor and verify any arms control agreements that could be developed for space.’
It’s clear that the ability to monitor, track and provide mission assurance is of the highest important to both governments.
While the new facility is their headline space project, they still have a $20 million backlog of funded orders for their proprietary space system sensors.
If that’s not enough proof of the huge potential of this Aussie small-cap, there’s more…
Protecting the lives of thousands of military personnel worldwide
‘Space defence’ technology is where I think this company will see the biggest growth long term…and it’s why this company offers you such a great bet as an investor.
Protecting satellite networks for the likes of Musk’s SpaceX, and other satellite internet companies, is where they’ll see the most growth potential.
But there’s a second market where this company is an established name, pulling in millions in revenue already.
I’m talking about military technology.
The key military products they develop are Remote Weapon Systems (RWS).
Be clear: they don’t make the guns or the ammunitions.
What they do is make the mounting and remote control systems for the weaponry.
In the past, roof-mounted weapons were manned. That means a soldier operating the guns by hand on the roof of the vehicle.
That puts them in harm’s way.
With a remote weapons system, the soldier can control the weaponry from a far safer location within the vehicle.
Existing customers for this RWS include both the Australian and US armed forces.
What’s exciting for this Canberra-based firm is that last year they locked in a $3.6 million contract to a ‘NATO country’ for new remote weapons systems.
This deal follows another $9.3 million contract to supply ‘advanced military sub-systems and components to Hyundai-Wai’ (a South Korean defence company).
And that follows yet another $6.5 million deal to upgrade the Australian Defence Force’s remote weapons systems.
In the space of just three months in 2015, they were able to tie up $19.4 million in military contracts…
And the stock more
than doubled in price
That shows you the potential to make big gains from this stock — quickly.
I think you could see a similar result — or better — as more deals come to light over the next couple of years.
As I mentioned earlier, there’s a strong collaborative relationship with aerospace and defence giant Lockheed Martin.
But it’s also worth mentioning two of their brand new Remote Weapons Systems are designed to specifically work with the weaponry of another US aerospace and defence giant, Orbital ATK [NYSE:OA].
In addition, they’ve worked with Northrop Grumman [NYSE:NOC] on weapons and space systems in the past.
It’s clear: this Aussie tech innovator is bringing in substantial and consistent revenues with their RWS technology.
They’re going about building a strong business in a high-tech industry and the market is completely unaware of them...for now.
Today, the market size of ‘vulnerable space assets’ — satellites currently flying around the earth — stands at US$500 billion.
SpaceX and a handful of other satellite pioneers are set to more than quadruple the number of satellites circling the globe…
In other words, this market is about to hit a boom period.
And the small ASX-listed company I’ve profiled for you today is at the centre of this explosive sector.
As far as my research goes, this company is the clear winner when it comes to space-tracking technology.
That’s why the like of the US Air Force and the $60-billion military and defence giant Lockheed Martin have signed on with this tiny Canberra firm.
I believe the time to buy this stock is now, while the price is still relatively cheap.
Last year, you could have more than doubled your money on this one company.
I believe you could realise bigger gains in the next few years as giants like Google, SpaceX and Lockheed shoot even more technology into orbit.
Protecting valuable space assets is a high priority for any space company.
For multibillion dollar companies like SpaceX, Lockheed and Orbital ATK it’s an absolute necessity.
And for this ASX company it could mean a boom period on the horizon.
Now, it’s hard to say exactly how much revenue this Canberra tech firm’s ‘space defence’ technology could bring in.
But consider this…
If this company could pull in revenues of just 0.1% from the current ‘vulnerable space asset’ market, that would work out to $500 million.
In other words…
You could be looking at a 1,387% premium to today’s price
Now, I’m not saying you’ll see gains like that overnight.
But in my view, should everything unfold as planned, you could see this stock rocket more than tenfold over the next couple of years.
And if the recent price action is anything to go by, this move has already begun. Shares in this company have seen a 20% lift in the last month alone. Don’t worry, it’s not too late to stake your claim.
But I wouldn’t wait around for long.
It’s clear that outside investors are starting to take notice. Other keen small-cap hunters are beginning to lock on to the potential of this tiny tech company.
Your chance of buying-in low, and riding the full up-move, is right here, right now.
I don’t think it will be long before you see the stock price soar multiples higher than where it is today.
In other words…
NOW is your chance to grab a share of what I consider to be one of the most ground-breaking Aussie tech companies on the ASX today
Sam Volkering
My name, by the way, is Sam Volkering.
I’m the editor of Australian Small-Cap Investigator.
And the stock I’ve been telling you about today is the hottest idea on my buy-list right now.
I travel the world unearthing some of the most
pioneering companies and stocks across global markets.
But what I’ve discovered is that some of the most pioneering, outstanding and world-changing companies exist right here at home on Australian shores.
These aren’t the companies you hear about on the news every day.
They’re not the ‘Big 4’ banks or the ‘major miners’. They’re the stocks you never hear about, the one’s that not even the mainstream know about.
That’s the great thing about the small-cap end of the market. You’ve got the whole playing field to yourself.
Meaning, you can get in early on some of the most exciting stocks on the ASX — beforeeveryone else piles in — and potentially make an absolute fortune.
But don’t take my word for it…here’s what some of my readers have to say:
Euan, told me: ‘I am up well over $50k at present. Your selection of shares has been remarkable. You have achieved this in a very unstable market. Well done.’
Lawrie had a ‘super smile’ on his face when he told me he’d collected ‘… ;About a $70k gain in the last month…’ from one of my small-cap tips…
Bryan Milner shot an email to tell me he was ‘…;up $50K since subscribing.’
And B. McMonagle has made ‘…;$70,000 in only a few weeks’ following my recommendations.
My job is to sift through the most promising Aussie small-cap companies.
And I report on the best of the best of these tiny ASX money-gushers each and every month inside Australian Small-Cap Investigator.
What gives me the right to investigate and tell you about these exciting small-cap opportunities?
Well, I’ve had an extensive career in financial services, almost 10 years’ worth in fact.
I’ve advised clients with as little as $500…and I’ve counselled multi-millionaires as well.
But that just wasn’t exciting enough for me. Talking about plans, insurance, model portfolios and superannuation was too boring.
What excites me is unearthing companies here in Australia and abroad that have the real potential to make everyday Aussie investors like you more money than they could ever dream about.
These are the kinds of companies you’re not allowed to recommend to financial advice clients, because they’re just far too ‘risky’.
You see, the ASX has some 2,177 different stocks you can invest in right now. Most investors live in the ASX 100 sphere. In my opinion, that’s a HUGE mistake.
Sure, you might squeeze 5% or 6% a year from a couple of ‘well-to-do’ blue-chips. But their days of fast-paced growth are over. You’ll never see gains like 100%, 200%, 500%, 1,000% in a year from these stocks.
In my opinion…
The only way to bank life-changing gains is to invest in SMALL-CAP STOCKS
And that’s why this arena is so bloody exciting.
Now, as I said, the ASX-listed ‘space defense’ stock I’ve told you about today is one of the most potential-filled stories on my buy list right now.
This is a small Aussie stock on the verge of becoming a key player in an industry valued at more than $500 billion today.
To put that into perspective…if this company only attracts 0.1% of that market (and I’m confident there’s a great chance they can), the business grows tenfold overnight and YOU could stand to make a small fortune.
Remember, while a high-risk, high-reward opportunity, this isn’t a ‘shot-in-the-dark’ punt.
You’re not looking at a company that might make money someday in the future. The Canberra-based tech pioneer is already pulling in millions in revenue through military defense contracts with US aerospace and defense giants, the US Air Force, and our own Australian Defense Force.
The future of this company, though, lies in their ‘space ablation’ technology, designed to protect the vast array of valuable satellites from wayward space debris.
