UkkoSat

UkkoSat is an Earth Observation satellite with high-resolution imaging
and optical comms capabilities for data relay. The proprietary design follows
a software-centric architecture that enables autonomy and in-orbit reconfigurability,
as well as mission-specific customisation.

ENHANCE MISSION QUALITY AND RESOLUTION

High-resolution imaging capability, with unparalleled quality and AI analytics on board

IMPROVE RESPONSIVENess AND flexibility

Software-first approach allows for hardware modularity, thereby making the solutions independent of the subsystems.
Mission efficiency and connectivity are dealt with upfront in the mission concept, as integrated functionalities.

upgradE MISSION EFFICIENCY WITH RECONFIGURABILITY

While on-orbit, tweak your mission as needed. You can update system components and alter functionalities post-launch, such as relaying data in a different frequency, using a different protocol, or adding a new cybersecurity measure.

ENABLE SPACE-TO-space & space-to-ground comms

Secure, seamless data transfer for all-encompassing situational awareness and value-driven decision-making.

STREAMLINE GROUND OPS WITH AUTONOMY

Collision avoidance, station keeping, failure detection & recovery.
Our high-availability systems can maximise quality-of-service autonomously in the presence of glitches and faults.

Mitigating Data Bottlenecks in Space

As the world increasingly relies on Earth Observation (EO) data, efficient movement of it has never been more important. The traditional space industry viewed delays in EO data movement as a manageable aspect of operations, choosing to adapt to their presence. Data bottlenecks in space are the result of various things such as congested ground stations, outdated satellite technology and more (in an earlier article on the value chain behind EO, we have started exploring these challenges), At their worst, these delays can hold up critical information when it’s needed most. But what if there were a better way?
