Space systems: a radar satellite, its ground station and the constellation it flies with.

Nexus Observatory

Space and satellite systems
From orbit to the ground, on one protocol.

Spacecraft buses and payload classes, constellations sized to revisit and coverage, non-terrestrial networks and 3GPP direct-to-device, tasking and downlink, and space safety from tracking to conjunction awareness. Every pass, product and link carries its provenance into the grid.

How it works, in place.

Interactive stories with figures drawn to scale and every claim referenced.

All stories Place: Rural village A village at the end of the lineWhere the fibre ends, a single mast, a satellite terminal and a handful of sensors decide whether a village is on the map of observation. Canada’s target is…Place: Remote northern community Observation the community governsIn a remote northern community, an observing station is also a question of who owns the data, who decides how it is used and who benefits.

Licensing and spectrum

Filings, coordination and earth-station rules, by country.

02 · Built on the open protocol

One protocol under every platform.

Marked: the functions this platform leans on hardest. The protocol itself is open, so what you build here runs anywhere the protocol runs.
