Constellation Economics: Reduce Satellite Requirements by 50% with SANZAR ADCS

December 18, 2025

Superior coverage isn’t just a technical achievement, it’s a business advantage. When your ADCS covers more area per pass, you need fewer satellites to achieve your mission goals.

Real-World Case Study: Huvadhu Atoll Coverage

  • Target area: 3,152 km²
  • SANZAR ADCS: 1 satellite required
  • Traditional Reaction Wheels: 2 satellites required
  • Result: 50% constellation reduction

What does this mean for your mission economics?

💵 Lower CAPEX – Build and launch half the satellites for the same coverage

⚡ Reduced operational costs – Fewer satellites mean lower ground segment, operations, and maintenance expenses

🚀 Simplified mission design – Less complex constellation management and coordination

📡 Fewer ground stations – Reduced infrastructure requirements

🔧 Lower risk – Fewer assets to manage = reduced operational complexity

⏱️ Faster deployment – Get to full operational capability sooner

For constellation operators, commercial Earth observation providers, and government agencies, this efficiency advantage directly impacts your bottom line and time-to-market.

Better performance. Lower costs. Smarter missions.
