Mission

We are a satellite communications venture dedicated to the development of affordable satellite solutions that enable equitable access to sovereign satcom spectrum and a radical rationalization of spectrum use. We address the critical challenge of enabling affordable satcom sovereignty for nations, corporations, and defense organizations that are currently priced out of the market.

Agile GEO satellite project

Our Kaon family of serially produced telecommunications satellites offers an affordable path to sovereign satcom and resilient and agile satellite fleets. By combining heritage GEO technology, COTS constellation supply chains, and targeted newspace approaches (ECSS tailoring, pragmatic approaches to reliability, availability, and radiation) we provide robust, sovereign satellite connectivity at an unmatched price point.
