Satellite Platforms
01
3 platform variants, 2 EO spacecraft
Satellite-EO-P20-300-deployed

We offer high performance and customisable satellite platforms with an open hardware and software architecture which can accommodate a range of payloads and operating systems to meet your mission requirements in LEO, MEO and GEO orbits.

Hosted Payload Service
02
60kg payload mass / 200W payload peak power / 5 year mission lifetime
Faraday_Dragon_in_orbit

Following the success of Faraday Phoenix-1, In-Space Missions has developed a hosted payload service which delivers multiple payloads to orbit utilising the performance of a small satellite.  We include a full range of technical and regulatory services which enables our customers to focus on payload development and mission delivery.

We are currently finalising Faraday Dragon, an Asia-Pacific regional rideshare mission which has been awarded funding from Phase 2 of the UK Space Agency’s International Bilateral Fund to develop novel Asia-Pacific payload technologies that will fly on the satellite.  The high-profile Faraday Dragon project brings together, for the first time, established and emerging space entities from Singapore, Taiwan, the Philippines and Thailand.

Digital Data Products
03
VHF Bands / SAR data
Satellite-Platform-P10

Teaming with our colleagues at BAE Systems, we offer the Azalea Radio Frequency Mapping capability to collect data in specific bands over critical user areas of interest. 

Azalea is BAE Systems programme to launch a cluster of multi-sensor satellites with unique Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities into low Earth orbit. The Azalea Clusters will gather a wide range of data from its multi-sensor satellites and analyse this information in-orbit, using on-board machine learning to deliver intelligence wherever it’s needed.

Azalea

In-Space Missions is working with BAE Systems to design and build three Azalea Cluster 1 satellites to deliver high-quality information and intelligence in real time to our customers. Azalea will use a range of sensors to collect radar and radio frequency (RF) data, which will be analysed by on board machine learning on edge processors to deliver the resulting intelligence securely, anywhere in the world while still in orbit.
  • Payload partners from Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan
  • 5 year mission lifetime

Faraday Dragon

We are working to finalise partners and payloads for Faraday Dragon, an Asia-Pacific regional satellite rideshare mission. Faraday Dragon will fly multiple payloads for regional space players including government, commercial, financial, research and educational organisations and we offer our customers a full end-to-end, low-cost rideshare service. The Faraday Dragon mission has been awarded funding from Phase 2 of the UK Space Agency’s International Bilateral Fund to develop novel Asia-Pacific payload technologies that will fly on the satellite. The high-profile project brings together, for the first time, established and emerging space entities from Singapore, Taiwan, the Philippines and Thailand.

Titania

The Titania satellite will feature multiple payloads demonstrating and characterising high-speed free space optical uplinks and downlinks for UK Defence and Security applications. Titania will accelerate the development and adoption of space-based optical communications, allowing our Armed Forces the ability to operate in an increasingly contested environment.
