We are working on two Moon orbiters, and several small Earth Observation satellites for commercial customers. We are launching our own nanosatellite to demonstrate several payloads and subsystems. Our missions are based on a deep understanding of your problems and identifying the right solutions, including the right hardware and software tools, that deliver the answers to your problems via our user platform TRULY. We are developing unique products including Microgravity Lab, Satellite Deployers, Payload Emulator, and LiDARs for Space Traffic Management and proximity operations.
TROLL: Hyperspectral Nanosatellite
TROLL is a hyperspectral nanosatellite built using tailored ECSS. It is equipped with a 4.75m GSD, 20-km swath at the nadir that can capture up to 32 bands in the range from 442 - 884 nm. Thanks to its customised on-board data processing it maximises the lifetime value of the data-heavy hyperspectral imagery while protected with a unique cybersecurity module.
The first TROLL satellite will be launched in November 2024 as the biggest Czech satellite. Following a successful in-orbit demonstration TROLL will provide opportunities for customers to get sample images and develop bespoke new applications for their own TROLL satellites prior to the acquisition and deployment of their spacecraft for further demonstrations (for example in SW field) of third parties, academic institutions, students, or startups.

USE CASES
TRAP: VHR Microsatellite
TRAP is an Earth Observation satellite for very high-resolution imagery that can provide sovereign surveillance capability for defense and security purposes. Coming at a microsatellite class size and price, it offers an unparalleled tool in terms of costs and performance for independent very high-resolution imagery. The sub-meter native resolution is complemented by superresolution enabled by a combination of several images. With a 10km swath, the TRAP offers strip mode as well as stop & stare mode for increase image quality.

USE CASES
Very High-resolution Constellation
For half of the cost of a very high-resolution microsatellite, you can build a small very high-resolution constellation that multiplies your revisit time, coverage, amounts of imagery and ultimately the return on investment. We will design and define the optimal constellation distribution of the TRAP satellite constellation based on your specific coverage requirements.
Hyperspectral Constellation
Hyperspectral imagery represents an untapped potential in remote sensing that requires high customization of both the used algorithms and satellites themselves. To increase the precious of the continuously updated hyperspectral sensing, a constellation of TROLL satellites with 20km swath, can unlock the potential of new applications across agriculture, environment as well as security.
Communications
With the increased demand for and threats to satellite communications, one cannot rely on high throughput satellites on GEO. Autonomy and independence are critical for security. We offer small nanosatellite constellations that provide an alternative and offer low bandwidth & low latency communications. Furthermore, we can also provide a direct link to operate drones via satellites.
TRULY - Virtual Constellation
AI-based IMINT software for automated analysis of satellite imagery saves manpower and provides highly customized intelligence solutions. Over 80+ proprietary algorithms for object detection and classification, change detection, and land segmentation can monitor and analyze thousands of locations globally, with all-weather, day, and night surveillance thanks to the fusion of optical and SAR imagery. Maritime AIS data and your own satellites can be integrated into the system. Tip & Cue approach can give you immediate monitoring of the desired events.
Data Procurement
If you are interested in diversifying your remote-sensing data to complement existing solutions, we can also provide you with imagery from our existing satellites. Reach out.
Customized Mission Development
Small satellites are becoming more and more important for both the economy and science. Our main focus is the custom development of satellites up to 300 kg. We pride ourselves in getting a deep understanding of your needs in order to find the best solution and transform it into mission specifications. This can include several areas from agriculture, climate change, and security to communications. Most importantly, we want you not only to be our customer but a partner. We offer either full development or co-engineering activities where our customer can pick which systems or subsystems will be developed by him, which by us, and which activities will be done together. We are platform and subsystem-agnostic, meaning that we select the best-suited hardware for your specific needs.
CAVE: Low-Cost CubeSat Deployer
We are targeting demonstration missions as well as universities with our new, affordable deployer that combines traditional and 3D printing methods to create a lightweight design. Using readily available parts keeps costs down, while our clever design maximizes the potential. This light, adaptable deployer is currently under development and will be available in the year 2025.

Crusoe EGSE
CRUSOE is a versatile and powerful platform designed to serve as a comprehensive Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) solution for satellite development and testing. It offers a wide range of features and capabilities, making it adaptable to various satellite components and systems. The hardware board, combined with a connected PC or cloud-based software, provides a flexible and efficient environment for simulating different parts of a satellite, conducting software and hardware testing, and performing emulation tasks.
This project is co-financed from the state budget by the Technology agency of the Czech Republic under the TREND Programme.
Lunar Geology Orbiter (LUGO)
We are building a Moon mission that will explore Lunar geology by 2029. This unique space exploration mission will generate groundbreaking scientific knowledge, provide critical information on future Lunar settlements and develop capabilities for upcoming commercial Lunar activities.
Utilizing a dynamic highly eccentric orbit, the 150kg probe will study irregular mare patches to determine the age of Lunar volcanism. Another objective of LUGO is to characterize the first lava tubes on the Moon as the ideal settlements for permanent human presence that shields from radiation, micrometeorites and dramatic temperature changes. LUGO will also bring several innovations for further Lunar exploration, including a ground penetrating radar, narrow-angle camera suite and the ability to perform 20km perilune flybys.
Lunar Inspector and Mapper (LUMI)
The permanently shadowed regions abundant with water ice across the South Pole region is expected to be the most exciting and busy place on the Moon. Many surface missions by NASA, ESA, China or India are planned there for the next decade to explore and utilize resources. However, our understanding of the low-illuminated area is limited.
The Lunar Inspector and Mapper (LUMI) is a small satellite mission that will use a unique narrow-angle camera suite to capture imagery for a very high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The DEM will aid landings, mission planning and surface operations. Furthermore, the new topography map will answer several scientific questions about the micro-traps, regolith, ice deposits and many other unclear aspects of the South Pole regions.
LUREPOS
Communication and navigation on the Moon and lunar assets is a significant challenge but also the way forward for moving deeper into space. As protocols for lunar communications have been developed over the last years to reflect the advances in technology, the opportunity to be a part of that solution has presented itself in the Lunar Relativistic Positioning System (LUREPOS). LUREPOS will house an experiment in position, navigation and timing (PNT), which will be independent of Earth-based GPS, but will also have independent communication receivers compliant with lunar communication protocols of NASA, ESA and JAXA, to act as calibrators for their lunar communication systems.
