Hogan Lovells partner Randy Segal to be inducted into the Space & Satellite Professionals International Hall of Fame

The Space & Satellite Hall of Fame recognizes individuals whose achievements have had an impact on the global space and satellite industry. Induction honors defining contributions that advanced technology, opened new markets, strengthened institutions, or reshaped how space-based capabilities serve society.

Over a 33-year career spanning the evolution of the modern space and satellite industry, Segal has been a pioneering architect of the commercial, legal, and regulatory frameworks that have enabled the sector's growth and transformation. For the past fifteen years as co-leader of Hogan Lovells' space and satellite practice, she has guided more than 200 space companies and sovereigns through uncharted regulatory territory, shaping the legal foundations for commercial space stations, manned spaceflight, reusable launch vehicles, megaconstellations, hosted payloads, mission extension services, and in-orbit manufacturing.

“I am honored to be inducted into this year’s Hall of Fame. To be recognized alongside such accomplished industry leaders is truly humbling,” said partner Randy Segal. “Throughout the past three decades, I have had the privilege of working with extraordinary colleagues, clients, and innovators, who continue to push the boundaries of what space-based technologies can achieve.”

Alongside Randy, fellow inductees include Steve Hart, Chief Technical Officer, Viasat, Candace Johnson; Chair Advisory Board and Partner, Seraphim Space; and Dr. Ryan Stevenson, Chief Scientist, Kymeta.

The inductees will be honored at the Night of Excellence in Washington, D.C.

The members of the 2026 Space & Satellite Hall of Fame were identified through a formal nomination and advisory review process and selected by a vote of the SSPI Board of Directors.
