About us
our history
Our mission
We are committed to redefining the future of space exploration. Our focus is related to Variable Speed Control Moment Gyroscope (VSCMG) Satellite Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) development and deployment.
Our mission is to provide ADCS solutions that not only exceed traditional performance limits but also offer unprecedented enhanced maneuverability and significant reductions in weight and volume. These innovations are not mere incremental improvements but they represent huge leaps that can result in millions of dollars in savings on launch and operational costs for our clients.
We aspire to be the catalysts for a new era in satellite technology, where each mission is conducted more efficiently, sustainably, and economically. By doing so, we not only advance technology but also expand the possibilities of what our clients can achieve in space, today and in the future.
We are building the future of space, one satellite at a time.
