Satlantis says the value added by its Elcano system is almost entirely European, although it still buys some U.S.-made FPGA and NVIDIA chips.

Satlantis has four launches contracted for the four Elcano satellites.

SpaceX completed almost 170 launches last year with payloads of 12 to 15 metric tons.

Satlantis has carried cameras on four launches of third-party satellites.

Satlantis is building five satellites in partnership with Creotech for the Polish market.

Juan Tomás Hernani was Spain’s secretary general for innovation from 2009 to 2012.

Satlantis has launched five satellites since its founding.

A third star tracker gives Satlantis higher imaging precision and keeps delivered imagery below 10 meters.

Ariane conducted 20 launches per year in 2020.

Satlantis will participate in 13 more satellite launches on satellites that are not its own.

Two of the contracted Elcano satellites are headed for Southeast Asia and one is headed for the Mediterranean.

Juan Tomás Hernani founded Satlantis in 2013 with Rafael Guzmán of the University of Florida.

Satlantis’ FlexSat technology lets its satellites capture continuous images across 400 kilometers in a single pass.

The Elcano microsatellites weigh between 120 and 155 kilograms.

Satlantis’ detectors are all European-made.

Satlantis has tripled the reaction-speed capability of its Urdaneta platform in Elcano.

Satlantis is building five satellites for defense, plus two in Poland and two in Northern Europe.

Satlantis employs more than 200 people.

Satlantis plans to launch the Blue Moon mission with SpaceX in spring 2028.

The Elcano constellation is a new family of microsatellites from Satlantis.

An Elcano satellite can remain over the Strait of Hormuz for three minutes to collect video imagery.

The first Elcano launch is scheduled for February after a schedule change.

Satlantis’ telescopes use a dual-camera configuration for image construction.

Satlantis’ complete-mission business is concentrated in the Nordic countries, Poland, Southeast Asia, and Spain.

Fifty-five percent of Satlantis’ business comes from complete missions.

Satlantis is working with the Galician company Kreios on a project it is supporting.

The Spanish state owns 24% of Satlantis.

Satlantis is developing satellite capabilities for defense, security, and methane detection.

Satlantis has taken an equity stake in a French company.

Karan Kunjur is the chief executive officer and co-founder of K2 Space.

The Seattle-area office will be K2 Space’s second satellite operations extension beyond its California headquarters.

K2 Space has signed more than 1 billion dollars in customer contracts for its satellite platforms.

K2 Space is a four-year-old satellite manufacturer that focuses on large, high-power spacecraft.

K2 Space plans to open an expansion office in the greater Seattle region to support growing production at its Torrance, California, factory.

K2 Space has grown from two founders to nearly 300 employees.

K2 Space has raised more than 500 million dollars in capital.

K2 Space says its dual-channel Hall effect electric thrusters are the most powerful of their kind currently operating in orbit.

Neel Kunjur is the co-founder and chief technology officer of K2 Space.

K2 Space projects production rates of hundreds of satellites per year from its Torrance facility by 2030.

K2 Space’s Seattle-area office will focus on flight software, autonomy, and low-level systems engineering for satellites designed to handle demanding payloads and high onboard power levels.

K2 Space launched its first satellite in March 2026.

The ESA Cybersecurity Operations Centre will act as the main user segment for CyberCUBE, managing mission requests and processing mission data for analysis.

GMV develops CyberCUBE through its teams in Romania and Spain with participation from Alén Space.

GMV’s Spanish teams also built a flatsat with the Romanian team to simulate and validate operational scenarios.

The FOX infrastructure at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre supports CyberCUBE communications in S-band and X-band for high-speed data downlink and radio-frequency sampling.

CyberCUBE is the first mission fully led by GMV’s Romanian teams.

GMV’s Spanish teams handled key ground-segment components for CyberCUBE, including Alén Space’s mission control center based on GMV’s FocusSuite solution.

CyberCUBE provides ESA with a secure, flexible, and reconfigurable environment for demonstrating new technologies before future missions.

ESA’s CyberCUBE mission launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base on a Falcon 9 rocket.

CyberCUBE validates cybersecurity technologies and functions in space under real operational conditions.
