Description: ANT61 provides a continuous, secure, 24/7 communication lifeline through the ANT61 Beacon that enables satellite operators to maintain control and recover satellites from anomalies, ensuring mission success.
HQ: San Francisco, CA | Phoenix, AZ CEO: James Schalkwyk
Email: [email protected] Description: Azora is redesigning optical ground stations from the ground up, delivering scalable systems that enable global deployment for reliable, low-latency, Gb-Tb/s data downlink from the skies, LEO & Lunar.
HQ: LA, California CEO: Albert Cisquella-Serra
Email: [email protected] Description: CISGAM unlocks the full potential of small satellite platforms through a refuelable MEMS based electrospray propulsion system offering the highest efficiency, variable ISP and exceptional maneuverability in orbit, including very low earth orbit.
HQ: Pau, France; Subsidiary: Los Angeles, California CEO: Miklos Tomka ****
Email: [email protected] Description: Parsimoni is making satellites accessible to all. Today’s satellites are like personal computers in the 1980s—niche technology, insecure, and accessible only to a few specialists. The satellite industry lacks a common software foundation, limiting scalability and innovation and creating a major security risk.
Parsimoni is changing that with SpaceOS, a secure-by-design unikernel operating system built for shared payloads and software-defined satellites. By standardizing the deployment of satellite in-orbit software, SpaceOS enables faster time to orbit, lower costs, and new business models for the rapidly growing space economy.
Just as Microsoft standardized the PC software layer and unlocked mass adoption, Parsimoni aims to become the “Microsoft of Space”—establishing the software standard for satellite operations and powering the next wave of growth in the space industry.
HQ: Kinnelon, NJ CEO: Cody Waldecker
Email: [email protected] Description: Stellerian will become the new standard for safer and more robust satellite navigation systems, transforming the future of space operations and infrastructure. One of the core competencies of Stellerian's software stack is the ability to accurately track the position and orientation of spacecraft in near-real time, without the need for pre-positioned markers, using AI and computer vision.
