IRIS2 government revenue already flowing in Q1 2026

Not filed to a thread

As the brief logged it

SES Q1 2026 results (published ~May 2026) show €189M government revenue "aided by projects such as IRIS2 Rendez-vous 1." This means SES is already earning revenue under the concession contract milestone framework — the IRR review awaited by Space Intel Report is about full capex commitment authorization, not programme activation. Positive framing: SES's IRR hurdle is being evaluated against a live revenue stream, not a purely forward-looking model.
