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.

In the field

Offshore and ocean

A moored met-ocean buoy and a profiling float report through a satellite pass overhead; the red link is the uplink.

01 · What this platform covers

Space and satellite systems, area by area.

Choose an area for its systems, standards, the industries it serves and how we deliver it.

01

Constellations and orbits

LEO, MEO and GEO, sized to revisit and coverage.
02

Spacecraft and payloads

Buses and optical, radar and RF payload classes.
03

NTN and direct-to-device

3GPP non-terrestrial networks, from orbit to handset.
04

Tasking and downlink

Request, schedule, receive and process: one chain.
05

Space safety

Tracking, telemetry and command, conjunction awareness.
06

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 and stewarded by the Nexus Consortium, so what you build here runs anywhere the protocol runs.
