Solstar provides connectivity solutions

purpose-built for the rigors of space.

Engineered for Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition & Reconnaissance (ISTAR),

In-Space Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM) and

Rendezvous, Proximity Operations and Docking (RPOD).

 

Reliable

Solstar WiFi Access Points and Space Communicators are being engineered to provide reliable connectivity for space operations.

Proven

Solstar proof of concept flight units have flown on several spaceflights and its WiFi Access Points will be suitable for use on space stations, in habitats, and lunar environments.

Easy to Use

Solstar solutions are being built to be as easy to use in space as it is to use your devices on Earth. They are designed for integration prior to launch for space missions in LEO, cislunar, and lunar surface operations.

Flexible

Solstar meets the specific requirements of your space-based operations with purpose-built solutions for the rigors of space including radiation hardening.

Solstar Space Early Successes

Solstar has been demonstrating space-based communications for years.

Solstar is Developing WiFi Access Points for Lunar Missions

Solstar began development of the WiFi Access Points for future lunar orbit space stations. When installed aboard spacecraft orbiting the moon the WiFi Access Points will provide a reliable communication solution.

Blue Origin Flight 2 – Persistent Comms Launch to Landing

Solstar’s Schmitt Space Communicator maintained a consistent internet connection from launch to landing, as well as during an emergency escape simulation.

Blue Origin Flight 1 – First Commercial WiFi Hotspot Aboard a Spacecraft

Solstar successfully uses its onboard internet connection to Tweet from outer space. This was the first commercial tweet from above the Karman line.

UP Aerospace Rocket Internet Connection with a Satellite

Solstar demonstrates first internet connection between a commercial satellite constellation and a spacecraft at rocket velocity and at an altitude of over 100km.
