Faraday Dragon

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.

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.

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.
