Opportunity Overview:

ºÚÁÏÍø invites organizations inÌýIntelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Space Domain Awareness, and environmental monitoring, as well asÌýemerging space technologies,ÌýtoÌýsubmit payload concepts for competitively priced hosted opportunities on upcoming ºÚÁÏÍø missions.ÌýÌý

By hosting payloads on ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s 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.Ìý

Hosted payload opportunities are priced based on payload size, power, and integration complexity, with flexible agreement structures that combine hosting with access to ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s real-time optical connectivity and on-orbit compute services.ÌýHosted capacity is already beingÌýallocated, and available slots are limited.ÌýSwift integration timelines create a near-term opportunity for missions that are ready to engage and mature quickly.

ºÚÁÏÍø Flight Heritage and Network Vision:

WithÌýnearlyÌýaÌýdecade of proven on-orbit performance, ºÚÁÏÍø has launchedÌý33 satellites to date,ÌýdemonstratingÌýhigh-reliability operations, resilient infrastructure, and the ability to move massive volumes of data for commercial, civil, and national security users.ÌýºÚÁÏ꿉۪s recent trancheÌý1Ìýlaunch marks the start of ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s commercialÌýreal-time connectivity for LEOÌýand the deployment of an optically interconnected space network designed to deliver real-time connectivity,Ìýunprecedented data throughput, andÌýadvancedÌýon-orbit computing. ºÚÁÏÍø will deploy a new tranche of approximately ten satellites every two years, with T2Ìýscheduled to deployÌýinÌý2028, forming the backbone of a persistent orbital data transport layer.Ìý

Upcoming Hosted Payload Missions:

LaunchingÌýinÌý2028, ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s HostedÌýpayloadÌýmissionsÌýprovide accelerated access to orbit for early demonstration, operational validation, or commercial deployment, flying onÌý300 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.ÌýºÚÁÏÍø HostedÌýplaces payloads directly onto The ºÚÁÏÍø Network, an always-connected optical constellation enabling persistent live streaming, low-latency tasking, distributed sensing, and high-capacity data movement forÌýspaceÌýmissions.

How to Engage:

ºÚÁÏÍø 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 ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s upcoming missions.Ìý

Early engagement is strongly encouraged, as hosted capacity is limited, and integration schedules are already being established.ÌýÌý

Act Now:

ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s 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.ÌýWithÌýHostedÌýcapacity already beingÌýallocatedÌýand a limited integration window, now is the time to explore how ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s always-connected optical constellation can accelerate your missionÌýimpact.
