Some of our customers
Laser communication from space to ground is a cutting-edge technology that will bring significant improvements both regarding data rates but also as a more secure and license-free means of satellite communication.

Optical technology revolutionizing space communications
We are building a new generation of ground stations. With optical technology, we take satellite communications to a whole new level of efficiency.
We are seeing new and ambitious missions to clean our orbits from space junk, and programs to monitor the locations of these objects. But this whole industry domain is still in its very early phases.

Travelling at high speed, even the smallest of objects can cause real harm.

Debris and congestion – a future challenge in Space
While thousands of new satellites will be needed in the coming years to keep up with our modern societies, the congestion of objects in orbit pose the risk of serious collisions. And if not addressed and handled correctly, Earth could soon be surrounded by an impenetrable shield of man-made objects.
