We go beyond the normal by combining various and new technologies enhanced by our own products.
We will get our structure and subsystems to the Moon by 2030. By that time we will
have our products and services on every continent. Due to our know-how and experience we have capabilities
to cover the full project/mission: mission definition and analysis, mechanical design, structural and
thermal analysis, development, manufacturing, integration, assembly, testing, qualification and launch.
On top of that we have few of our own critical subsystems in house.
During our mission we want to cooperate and strengthen relationships
between industry, universities, scientific institutions and to create added value, together. We give
a chance to rare technologies which have never been used in space before. We seek new ideas. We look for
new purpose of existing technologies. We combine. We do things differently. We’re not afraid
of unproofed solutions. We let innovation happen.
Due to our know-how and experience, we are able to cover the full project cycle. We
start from mission definition and analysis followed by the system development during which we perform system
engineering,
mechanical design, structural and thermal analysis, electrical and software development, subsystems
procurement, manufacturing, integration, assembly, testing, qualification and finally provide
you with launch.
Satellite development & system engineering
Small satellites are becoming more and more important
for both economy and science. Our main focus is custom development of satellites up to 300 kg. We offer
both full development and coengineering activities where our customer can pick which systems
or subsystems will be developed by him, which by us and what activities will be done together.
High-altitude platform systems (HAPS)
Stratospheric platforms offer unique observation capabilities compared to satellites, including higher
resolution, station keeping, continuous monitoring, reusability, lower carbon footprint, and most
importantly, a quick and easy launch from anywhere on the planet. A satellite with such performance
would be extremely costly and still would not be able to provide data and solutions at that speed and
quality.
Stratospheric platforms enable more accessible customization and an ideal mid-step in building
capabilities and competencies for space-based subsystems. We equip the Stratosyst HAPS with different
sensors (hyperspectral, LiDAR, visible spectrum) and provide unique remote-sensing solutions to our
onboard data processing and data analytics. Any type of technology can be utilized on the Stratosyst
HAPS: visible spectrum camera, hyperspectral, LiDAR or communication subsystem. We are developing a
Flash LiDAR system for vegetation and topography mapping as well as object detection.
Onboard data processing
On-board payload data processing encompasses the data acquisition, transfer, storage, data compression
or reduction and transmission to ground of instrument and sensor data. Quite often the amount of raw
data generated by modern instruments is in excess of what can be transmitted to the ground.
This is where the need for on-board data processing comes with our solution, we can reduce the amount
of data you need to download by tens of percents and prioritize data with the highest value.
Cyber security for satellites
Each year, we are becoming more reliant on satellites, and space-based applications are now utterly
critical to the large and growing range of services on which our citizens and economies depend. These
range from navigation, broadcasting and weather forecasting to monitoring the health of our planet’s
climate and the conditions of land, oceans and inhabited areas. Protecting these assets is important
for both governments and companies, as they have tremendous value. We are working on an end-to-end
solution for access management and secured communication to protect your assets.
LiDAR
LiDAR systems utilizing reflected photons from emitted laser pulses have a variety of uses. With
the growing number of objects in space, our Flash LiDAR will provide satellites with their own precise
near-object detection for collision avoidance. Similarly, a Doppler LiDAR system for detecting, tracking
and characterizing close and distant objects can be used as a sensor for Space Traffic Management
networks. Another application of our LiDAR systems is topography mapping with submeter resolution
for planetary missions as well as Earth’s surface mapping from the Stratosyst stratospheric
platform.
Lunar Geology Orbiter (LUGO)
We are building a Moon mission to explore Lunar sub-surface structures by 2030. This unique space
exploration mission will generate groundbreaking scientific knowledge, provide critical information
about future Lunar habitats and space resources utilization and develop capabilities for upcoming
commercial Lunar activities (Lunar communication and remote sensing).
LUGO will probe irregular mare patches from a low-flying orbit before hitting one of them with
an impactor to find out not only their age, but age of Lunar volcanism. Further, LUGO will provide
high-resolution topography, sub-surface and spectral data to begin mapping lava tubes and caves as ideal
areas for permanent settlements thanks to their radiation and micrometeorite protection, stable
temperatures and resource potential. We will provide topography and remote sensing for future rover
operations and look for resource-rich non-polar areas for ISRU operations.
TROLL
TROLL is the name of the Czech demonstration nanosatellite mission performed in commercial, new space
approach, but still required to follow the ECSS. Mission’s purpose is to demonstrate new technologies,
to build up experience and heritage in our territory and to be the biggest Czech satellite.
An additional important condition of the whole activity is to use resources exclusively and only
from the Czech Republic and countries from Three Seas Region - maximum 20% of the budget can be assigned
outside of this territory.
TROLL is planned to be launched within the mid 2024. After the successful in orbit demonstration TROLL
will provide an opportunity(ies) for further demonstrations (for example in SW field) of third parties,
academic institutions, students or startups.
Company major value is quality 9+. This means that on a scale 0 to 10 we want to achieve a quality score
of 9 or more. It applies to everything we do: how our products look, how good our service is, how
we communicate, how we behave, what kind of working tools we have. We never
compromise.
This is a list of seven values based on which our company is built upon.
The objective of the Golem X project is the research, development, production
and semi-operation of the Experimental Global Orbital Electro-Optical System in order to verify the
technologies, activities, characteristics and other parameters of the satellite observation system in
low orbit. Our collaboration will result in a low Earth orbit carrier of these technologies and its
subsequent semi-operation for at least 12 months for practical verification of these technologies.
Our company will be involved in the development, launch and operation of
the system in low orbit in terms of research and development of components, design of the test
facility, its launch to low orbit, its operation including stabilization, orbital maneuverability,
tasking, control of subsystems, acquisition of electro-optical data, acquisition of telemetry data,
communications, termination and other necessary steps.
Lunar Geology Orbiter to provide high-resolution topography, sub-surface and spectral data in support
of above-mentrioned lunar activities. This includes mapping of lava tubes and caves as ideal areas for
radiation and micrometeorite-protected habitats, identifying resource-rich non-polar areas for ISRU
operations and providing detailed topography in support of rover operations.
Selecting suitable areas for settlements, surface exploration missions, support operations, and
in-situ resource utilization on the Moon requires detailed lunar geology mapping. This includes
precise data on sub-surface prospecting (lava tubes and caves), surface topography and more detailed
compositional spectroscopy.
Our mission includes also testing the technologies for space laser communication from the Moon will
help build laser communication systems between satellites, ground and deep space missions.
While such data has been collected by various campaigns, it is not available in the robustness and
detail needed for planning long-term lunar operations. Due to the vastness of the Lunar surface, the
adequate mapping is also unlikely to be provided by rovers in needed coverage and time.
