invites organizations inIntelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Space Domain Awareness, and environmental monitoring, as well asemerging space technologies,tosubmit payload concepts for competitively priced hosted opportunities on upcoming missions.
By hosting payloads on ’s always-connected optical cloud constellation, mission operators can bypass traditional communications bottlenecks and unlock persistent, real-time access to payload data, enabling continuous collection and real-time, live-streaming of high-volume data at a scale not achievable through conventional architectures.
Hosted payload opportunities are priced based on payload size, power, and integration complexity, with flexible agreement structures that combine hosting with access to ’s real-time optical connectivity and on-orbit compute services.Hosted capacity is already beingallocated, and available slots are limited.Swift integration timelines create a near-term opportunity for missions that are ready to engage and mature quickly.
Withnearlyadecade of proven on-orbit performance, has launched33 satellites to date,demonstratinghigh-reliability operations, resilient infrastructure, and the ability to move massive volumes of data for commercial, civil, and national security users.’s recent tranche1launch marks the start of ’s commercialreal-time connectivity for LEOand the deployment of an optically interconnected space network designed to deliver real-time connectivity,unprecedented data throughput, andadvancedon-orbit computing. will deploy a new tranche of approximately ten satellites every two years, with T2scheduled to deployin2028, forming the backbone of a persistent orbital data transport layer.
Launchingin2028, ’s Hostedpayloadmissionsprovide accelerated access to orbit for early demonstration, operational validation, or commercial deployment, flying on300 kg-class spacecraft with hundreds of watts of available payload power and accommodation for payloads from CubeSat-scale to small-satellite-class systems. Multiple payloads are hosted on optically linked spacecraft, enabling continuous, high-rate data transmission without ground-pass constraints. Hostedplaces payloads directly onto The Network, an always-connected optical constellation enabling persistent live streaming, low-latency tasking, distributed sensing, and high-capacity data movement forspacemissions.
invites organizations to submit an expression of interest outlining the payload mission concept, operational objectives, estimated data-rate and connectivity requirements, preferred hosting options, preliminary payload parameters (mass, volume, power, pointing, thermal), and the specific mission benefit derived from real-time connectivity. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis and used to inform technical feasibility assessments, accommodation allocation, and planning for ’s upcoming missions.
Early engagement is strongly encouraged, as hosted capacity is limited, and integration schedules are already being established.
’s real-time data relay network is designed to enable the next generation of LEO missions that depend on persistent connectivity, high-volume data movement, and rapid access to mission insights.WithHostedcapacity already beingallocatedand a limited integration window, now is the time to explore how ’s always-connected optical constellation can accelerate your missionimpact.
