IOD as a Service

Prove your space technology in orbit.

In-Orbit Demonstration and Validation (IOD/IOV) puts your space technology on a shared mission. We manage integration, operations, data and evidence.

IOD as a Service

A complete mission around the technology you need to prove.

SATELYX manages the shared satellite bus, integration, operations, data delivery and launch capacity. You stay focused on the technology and evidence needed from orbit.

Software

Models, algorithms and data pipelines for onboard operation.

Hardware

Payloads and space technology that need flight evidence.

How an IOD mission works

How shared IOD works

Multiple technologies. One managed mission.

SATELYX combines software and space technology from multiple customers on one standardized bus, then manages the shared mission around them.

VLEO Pathfinder targets Q4 2027 as the first SATELYX-led catalog validation mission.

The IOD bus

A bus built for IOD.

SATELYX is building a standardized, multi-payload bus for repeated in-orbit demonstrations. The same core interfaces and mission systems give each flight a known starting point while supporting different customer technologies.

Standardized: Known core interfaces.
Multi-payload: Several technologies on one bus.
Repeatable: Integration knowledge retained.

The Catalog

Successful validation should make a technology easier to fly again.

Each successful IOD leaves flight evidence and a known integration route. SATELYX can then match the proven technology to future missions and buyer requirements, giving the provider a route to procurement and a way to earn again when the capability is selected.
