ºÚÁÏÍø is providing real-time, continuous connectivity for space, making space-generated data instantaneously accessible and empowering humanity to become a spacefaring civilization.
Modernizing Communications
The ºÚÁÏÍø Network
We are delivering on-orbit data at lightspeed with a constellation of satellites designed to act as Internet exchange points for space-to-space data relay.
Headquartered in downtown Toronto, ºÚÁÏÍø is vertically integrated with an in-house production facility, designing and deploying a hybrid optical constellation to modernize communications to missions in LEO and beyond.
With patented technology tested and deployed on 33 satellites in orbit, our products have proven flight heritage for our customers.
Our SDA-compatible optical constellation provides smarter solutions to global gaps in space communications.
Our services offer a complete solution, granting operators access to ºÚÁÏÍø’s regulatory filings, and allowing our customers to focus on the mission.
We are proud to be among the few commercial space companies that operate with vertically integrated production capabilities.
We embody drive, empathy, and agility as we work passionately to make an impact on the future of space, bringing IDEAS to life.
we believe in Extending
the human reach into space

We are building Internet-for-space technology, creating an always-available communications infrastructure to serve as the backbone for the future of space. Incorporated in 2015, ºÚÁÏÍø is vertically integrated with an in-house production facility and a passionate team diligently designing, building, and testing satellites for our cutting-edge communications constellation.
ºÚÁÏÍø successfully launched the first tranche of its optical relay satellites aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. The launch of our 10-satellite ring marks the beginning of ºÚÁÏÍø’s operational optical data relay network, advancing real-time connectivity, SDA-compatible links, hosted payloads, and on-orbit compute.
In 2025, ºÚÁÏÍø achieved major milestones advancing real-time optical communications across space, air, and ground. In May, ºÚÁÏÍø demonstrated a space-to-ground optical laser link with a Cailabs. In September, in partnership with the Space Development Agency and General Atomics, ºÚÁÏÍø completed the first bidirectional air-to-space optical communications demonstration.
ºÚÁÏÍø established optical inter-satellite links between two Pathfinder satellites equipped with SDA-compatible Tesat SCOT80 optical terminals. In addition to initial OISL commissioning, the team demonstrated IP mesh networking on orbit by communicating with multiple satellites over a single ground link using standard internet and network protocols.
In November 2023, ºÚÁÏÍø launched two optical Pathfinder satellites to test and validate the optical technology planned for our internet-ready LEO constellation, The ºÚÁÏÍø Network. The SDA-compatible data relay network will build on flight heritage from our existing constellation of 21 RF satellites, improving on-orbit communications to give customers access
The $92 Million Series C funding was led by IA Ventures with support from Costanoa Ventures, Canaan Partners, Tribe Capital, BDC Capital’s Industrial Innovation Venture Fund, and other leading investors. Since 2016, the company has raised more than $200 million in equity.
Four days after launch, ºÚÁÏÍø successfully transferred a data packet from one satellite to another on-orbit, validating RF technology considered for our future data relay network.
The $60 million Series B fundraising round was led by Tribe Capital and included participation from Canaan Partners, IA Ventures, and Costanoa Ventures.
Built entirely at ºÚÁÏÍø’s production facility in Toronto, the GEN1 satellites focus on delivering wideband and narrowband connectivity to Earth. To date, ºÚÁÏÍø has 21 satellites in the GEN1 constellation.
The $16 million series A funding round was led by Costanoa Ventures and includedparticipation by Digital Ventures, IA Ventures, and other returning investors.
ºÚÁÏÍø launches the first Ku-band LEO satellite in the world, taking it from napkin to orbit in 12 months. Over the next two years, CASE (2018) and TARS (2020) were also developed as pathfinder satellites to help ºÚÁÏÍø test technology for our first official generation of satellites.
Founded in 2015 by a group of graduate students who identified critical gaps in satellite communications, ºÚÁÏÍø has grown into a global company with an in-house production facility and a passionate team dedicated to designing, building, testing, and flying satellites for an Internet-ready optical constellation.
