I've got to the offer stage and I have been talking with the recruiter about salary. He has already told them that 100k will be the starting point for discussion. They have already shared some details about the package:

Annual Leave - 23.5 days

Employer contribution - 3%

Bonus uncapped but we will be talking through how this is measured next week.

Recruiter is leaning towards 100k with car allowance included. I said car allowance should be about 5k on top of the base of 100k if they aren't going to budge with the employer contribution. My industry normally pays out 6-7% on average for pension contribution and 25 days annual leave minimum. They have said they are open to increasing the annual leave.

This is a step-up in terms of salary but I do want to be scrupulous about the entire package. Does anyone have any advice or experience of being in this situation. Am I missing any other details that should have more of my attention?

Pensions are my priority and even though I do contribute a high percentage consistently, I would like the employer to take some pressure off that, my suggestion would be another way of them contributing by paying me more.

On Tuesday (7 July), NATO Allies opened a new chapter in Allied space operations, with multinational initiatives and partnerships to develop new space-based capabilities.

At the NATO Summit Defence Industry Forum in Ankara, eight Allies also launched a new multinational initiative named HALO – Hybrid Alliance Layered Operations in Space. HALO will focus on improving connectivity and integration of sovereign, nationally owned and controlled military satellites into a networked mega constellation. It aims to improve Alliance resilience and military advantage in space, enabling high-speed communications, intelligence and missile tracking.  It will overcome the cost, time and coverage limitations of single-nation satellite fleets.

At the Forum, several Allies also announced significant contributions to defence in and from space. Canada became the 15th member of NATO’s STARLIFT multinational initiative, which explores ways to develop a network of launch capabilities that will help Allies launch assets at short notice from spaceports across the Alliance.  This will boost NATO’s ability to react more quickly to threats from space. The German company Isar Aerospace also signed a contract with Canada’s Maritime Launch Services to secure access the launch infrastructure and services at Spaceport Nova Scotia and improve its orbital launch readiness.

Spain became the 19th country to join NATO’s Alliance Persistent Surveillance from Space (APSS), the largest multinational investment in space-based capabilities in NATO’s history. Spain will contribute by increasing coastal surveillance through imagery from its “Atlantic Constellation” satellites.

Following the success of the original IMECE Earth observation satellite, Türkiye announced an ambitious plan for the development of two additional high-resolution satellites to complement the robust space capabilities in the region. This is in addition to an investment into Low Orbital satellites for military communications and the development of Early Warning Radar Systems which will help keep Türkiye connected and secure on the battlefield.

The eight countries involved in the Hybrid Alliance Layered Operations (HALO) in Space are Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Holland, Norway, Sweden and Turkey. It’s great that Planet has two big contracts with two of them. The financial value that was displayed on stage was $4.012B.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced the successful launch of Pelican-11, the tech demonstration satellite (TD2) for the second generation (Gen 2) of its high-resolution Pelican™ fleet. The spacecraft was launched to orbit aboard the Transporter-17 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Planet has successfully made initial contact with the satellite and has begun the commissioning process.

As a dedicated engineering pathfinder, Pelican-11 is designed to validate new technologies and capabilities prior to their integration onboard Planet's upcoming second generation (Gen 2) Pelicans. Building on Gen 1 Pelicans’ ability to capture up to 50 cm class resolution imagery, Gen 2 are designed to provide up to 30 cm class imagery. In alignment with Planet’s approach to Agile Aerospace, this tech demonstration satellite is expected to allow rapid hardware testing and calibration in the space environment, helping upcoming production fleets scale seamlessly. Pelican-11 is not anticipated to produce commercially available data.

Planet plans to continue scaling its high-resolution, AI-powered monitoring capacity, and meet growing global customer demand by launching additional Pelican spacecraft over the next year.
