Missions

IOD missions built around what your technology needs to prove.

SATELYX factors customer software or hardware into a shared mission and manages the work around it, from technical fit through operations and flight evidence. We also plan what happens after validation, so success can become a reusable capability for future buyers and missions.

Two integration routes

The mission starts with the technology.

Software

Run models, algorithms or data pipelines in orbit.

SATELYX provides the onboard-compute route and manages integration, operations and the evidence plan.

Hardware

Integrate payloads and spacecraft technology on a shared bus.

Fit is assessed against the technology's real technical and operational requirements, then confirmed through a defined integration plan.

In development

VLEO Pathfinder

The first SATELYX-led catalog validation mission is planned as a shared, multi-payload mission in Very Low Earth Orbit, targeting Q4 2027.

Rather than publish a fixed slot, we assess each technology against the mission. That includes the interfaces, operating conditions and evidence needed for a useful validation.

Potential paths include onboard software, sensors, instruments, communications, propulsion and other space technology.

Mission 0

Mission 0 flew with a partner as the team's technology-transfer and edge-compute experiments in orbit. It built experience across satellite integration and operations.

VLEO Pathfinder is the first SATELYX-led catalog validation mission.

The mission path

From mission fit to reusable capability.

  1. 01

    Share the technology

    Tell us what you are building, the mission objective and the evidence you need from orbit.

  2. 02

    Review mission fit

    Our team assesses payload compatibility, interfaces, and mission fit.

  3. 03

    Plan integration

    We work with you on timelines, interfaces, and testing milestones.

  4. 04

    Operate the mission

    Your technology launches and operates in orbit. We manage the mission.

  5. 05

    Capture the capability

    Successful validation creates flight evidence, a reusable integration record and a capability profile for future buyer requirements.

  6. 06

    Return to orbit

    SATELYX matches the capability to future mission demand and structures the next deployment, with repeat supply, licensing or shared downstream revenue handled under the partner agreement.
