NSLComm, also known as BeetleSat, is a satellite manufacturing company specializing in deployable antenna technologies for nanosatellites. Based in Israel but now headquartered in London, UK, the company aims to provide high-bandwidth communication services via low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, with the goal of reducing the cost of data transmission in space. Their key product is a fabric-like, flexible dish antenna that expands in space, offering high throughput for satellite and spacecraft developers, owners, and service providers. NSLComm's technology has been tested on the International Space Station, and the company has partnered with organizations like Dunmore Aerospace and AAC Clyde Space.
