Two Platforms. One Photonic Source.

We don't only sell components — we deliver complete, space-qualified photonic systems ready to deploy and use in-house.

SatLight®

High-throughput laser terminals for inter-satellite crosslinks. The SatLight® DISK puts four optical terminals on a single satellite for near-360° coverage and multi-terabit aggregate throughput at ranges beyond 2,500 km.

Navigation Systems

Space-qualified FOG IMU systems for GPS-denied attitude, heading, and precision pointing. Solid-state, radiation tolerant, from LEO satellites to autonomous vehicles.

The Next-Generation Optical Crosslink

SatLight® DISK embeds four optical communications terminals into a single satellite platform. Each terminal covers ±45° for near-full in-plane coverage — enabling mesh networking, low-latency routing, and high-bandwidth relay across your constellation.

  • Multi-terabit aggregate duplex throughput
  • Validated link budgets at 1,500–2,500 km
  • Mesh constellation and low-latency routing
  • Compact disk form factor, flush optical windows

Know Where You Are. Always.

When GPS is unavailable or untrustworthy, our inertial navigation systems provide autonomous attitude, heading, and pointing. Solid-state gyroscopes with no moving parts — space qualified for LEO and beyond.

  • GPS-denied attitude determination and pointing
  • Space-qualified for LEO deployment
  • Solid-state — no moving parts, no wear
  • FOG IMU and single-axis gyroscope configurations
  • Radiation tolerant, vibration hardened

Vertically Integrated. Space Qualified. Ready to Ship.

We control every layer of the photonic chain — from photonic chips to flight-ready systems. That means supply chain certainty, performance traceability, and speed.

🔬

One Source, Three Platforms

SatLight® and Navigation built on a shared photonics platform. Qualification work on one accelerates the other.

🛰

Space Qualified

Every product designed for LEO from day one. Built to survive the harshest environments — vibration, shock, thermal extremes, and radiation.

🎯

Constellation Scale

Vertical integration eliminates supplier bottlenecks. Volume pricing structured for 10,000+ unit constellation procurements.

No Single-Point Dependencies

We fabricate laser sources, amplifiers, modulators, detectors, and electronics in-house. No critical element is outsourced.

🔧

Mission-Tailored

Custom interfaces, form factors, and qualification profiles. Tell us your constraints — we deliver the architecture.

🤝

Engineering Partnership

We embed with your program team from architecture review through integration, qualification, and on-orbit support.
