A synthetic-aperture radar satellite will allow the French military to monitor the Earth’s surface 24/7.

France’s DESIR program is intended to widen the pool of electro-optical capabilities available to the French defense sector.

France is developing a custom-built SAR solution rather than purchasing SAR data or satellites directly from ICEYE.

Sweden and Germany have purchased SAR data or satellites directly from ICEYE.

SAR payloads can image at night and can penetrate clouds, enabling observation of conflict zones and maritime passageways when optical satellites cannot.

Loft Orbital secured a nearly €50 million (approximately $58.6 million) contract from the French military to deliver France’s first sovereign synthetic-aperture radar capability.

Loft Orbital’s stated platform concept is the ability to fly any payload on any platform, deploy on any cloud, and rely on any ground station network.

Emmanuelle Meric is the European general manager of Loft Orbital.

Loft Orbital aims to put the demonstration SAR satellite into service by mid-2029.

The DESIR agreement is the first time Loft Orbital will act as prime contractor for the French government.

Loft Orbital assembled a consortium of French companies to complete the SAR demonstration contract.

The SAR demonstration contract is part of France’s DESIR program, which stands for Demonstrator of Sovereign Radar Imaging Elements.

Antaris and Infostellar plan to enhance the platform’s autonomous scheduling algorithms during the first half of 2026 to better handle complex orbital geometries and interference mitigation.

Integration of StellarStation into Antaris removes the manual coordination between satellite operators and multiple ground station providers.

Antaris and Infostellar formed a strategic partnership on January 21, 2026 to integrate cloud-native ground services directly into an AI-powered mission planning platform.

The partnership connects Infostellar’s global ground station network with the Antaris software-defined satellite ecosystem to unify fragmented satellite operations.

The integrated Antaris–StellarStation solution enables operators to automate scheduling and execution of ground station passes directly within the Antaris interface.

The partnership’s roadmap includes adding more diverse ground assets to the StellarStation network to provide Antaris users with a resilient and geographically distributed communication framework for high-cadence Earth observation and telecommunications missions.

Linking Infostellar’s hardware-diverse network to the Antaris software stack provides a scalable path for constellation owners to obtain global coverage without building proprietary ground infrastructure.

Antaris’ cloud-based platform uses digital twins and software-defined architectures to simulate and manage satellite missions from design through end-of-life.

The combined Antaris and Infostellar solution is undergoing final validation with initial pilot customers who are using the integrated platform for upcoming small satellite deployments.

The system architecture supports high-frequency data downlinks and low-latency command uplinks to enable real-time adjustments to mission parameters based on onboard telemetry or external triggers.

Infostellar has expanded its global ground station network to support X-, S-, and Ka-band frequency operations.

Infostellar’s StellarStation is a Ground Segment as a Service (GSaaS) provider that is integrated into the Antaris platform.

Infostellar is established as a key player in the Japanese and international ground station markets.

Blue Origin plans to build a 5,408-satellite constellation in low Earth orbit and medium Earth orbit for corporate and government connectivity.

OHB SE is a builder of satellite and rocket hardware.

OHB SE raised its revenue and profit.

OHB SE adjusted its three-year financial objectives based on ESA budget results and military space plans from Germany and the EU.

The TeraWave™ network provides additional route diversity and strengthens overall network resilience.

Blue Origin has introduced TeraWave™, a satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth.

The TeraWave™ network will service tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government users who require reliable connectivity for critical operations.

The TeraWave™ network aims to reach remote, rural, and suburban areas where diverse fiber paths are costly or technically infeasible.

The TeraWave™ architecture consists of 5,408 optically interconnected satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO).

TeraWave offers unmatched speeds of up to 6 Tbps through a multi-orbit constellation of 5,280 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and 128 Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites with both RF and optical links.

Up to 6 Tbps point-to-point capacity can be accessed through optical links from MEO satellites.

TeraWave offers backup connectivity during outages to keep critical operations running.

Globally distributed customers can access up to 144 Gbps of capacity through Q/V-band links from LEO satellites.
