Solstar Space Co., last year’s Inno Madness champion, lands contract to test space technology
Last year, New Mexico Inno ran a competition called Inno Madness which pitted 16 New Mexico startups against one another in a bracket-style challenge. Readers voted on which startup should advance through each round of the competition and eventually settled on two — Albuquerque’s Build with Robots and Santa Fe’s Solstar Space Co.
A phase one technology transfer contract through the Department of the Air Force will help Santa Fe-based Solstar Space Co. test one of its new space connectivity products.
The company on Wednesday announced that it received the three-month, $75,000 contract to further its Slayton Space Communicator. It’s one of a few technologies currently under development by Solstar.
The Slayton product is essentially a broadband network device that allows constant high-speed uplink and downlink data relays on various space assets that range from satellites to space stations to lunar habitats.
