Space-based communications innovation leader recognized as visionary progressing rapidly changing new space industry into the future.

 July 6, 2021 – SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, U.SSolstar Space, the company making continuous space-based communications accessible, announced today that its Founder and CEO M. Brian Barnett was recognized in Industry Era’s 10 Best CEOs of 2021 list. The list highlights CEOs for their visionary leadership, innovations, and ability to navigate quickly changing business environments.

“Solstar Space provides in-flight internet to spacecraft and astronauts, just like the internet you would use on a commercial airliner flight. Communications in space have traditionally been difficult and had many limitations. We make communication in space as easy as it is on Earth. We provide that seamless, continuous communications experience we have all come to take for granted here on the ground to the people and spacecraft operating in suborbital and orbital environments,” says M. Brian Barnett, Founder and CEO of Solstar Space. “I’m humbled to be recognized aside so many other phenomenal and inspiring professionals. When we flew our Schmitt Space Communicator SC-1x prototype payload on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket, where we demonstrated our Wi-Fi hot spot service inside the crew capsule, it was a highlight. It is great to have this opportunity to share our mission with a broader audience,” shares Barnett. 

 

The annual special edition, 10 Best CEOs of the Year, is recognized for featuring visionaries and thought-leaders across a broad range of technology fields. Industry Era focuses on technology, management, world-changing ideas, creativity, and the perspectives of established leaders. 

Under Barnett’s leadership, Solstar Space is making space-based communications more available, reliable, and easier to use. Barnett and the team at Solstar Space are making continuous communications throughout launch, orbit, and landing possible for small satellite operators and users, payloaders, government and military organizations, space ground control, earth observation, and space tourism companies.

Spaceflight certified guitar pic and Tim Keller Metal Mayor decal are presented to Mark Padilla, President of the New Mexico Music Hall of Fame for display at the new, under construction Route 66 visitor’s center outside Albuquerque.

“I’m jazzed to add these cosmic items to the New Mexico Music Hall of Fame collection of memorabilia. Having items that have traveled into the cosmos is truly unique. I want to personally thank Brian Barnett from Solstar Space Company and DrumAstro Productions for dedicating these items and supporting our mission to bring music to New Mexico’s community and the universe,” says Mark Padilla, President of the New Mexico Music Hall of Fame.

“Being a drummer and longtime musician, I’m proud and excited to dedicate the spaceflight certified guitar pic and Tim Keller Metal Mayor decal to the New Mexico Music Hall of Fame. As Co-founder and CEO of Solstar Space Company, I’m enthusiastic about sharing the progression of our Santa Fe-based space company too. During the 2018 flight, Solstar Space tested its Schmitt Space Communicator SC-1x payload and provided the first commercial Wi-Fi hotspot service (and Tweet) in space. The pic and decal flew to space and back inside the crew capsule of Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket, from their West Texas launch site located about 50 miles south of the New Mexico border,” shares Brian Barnett, Co-founder & CEO of Solstar Space Company.

Integration of Solstar’s Critical Data Relay on satellites to demonstrate viability of crucial continuous communications for spacecraft in LEO orbit.

 

April 28, 2021 – SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, USA. Solstar Space, the company making continuous space-based communications accessible, announced today that it has been awarded a U.S. Air Force, AFWERX SBIR Phase 1 contract. As a participant in the Phase 1 cohort, Solstar Space will conduct feasibility studies with the Department of Defense (DOD) to demonstrate how its onboard satellite Critical Data Relay supports continuous connectivity and provides vital global communications for spacecraft in LEO orbit.

“Space-based connectivity is critical to providing immediate notification of spacecraft anomalies and to support worldwide recovery command capabilities,” says M. Brian Barnett, Founder and CEO, Solstar Space. “Today, LEO satellite communications are typically limited to a few minutes during each scheduled pass over downlink stations. Under this Phase 1 contract, the practicability of Solstar’s short burst data (SBD) services and the Critical Data Relay will be assessed,” continues Barnett.

LEO smallsat operators, including the DOD, have limited opportunities to communicate with spacecraft to ensure optimal operation. Troubleshooting of any issues is constrained to pass over windows where downlink stations are available leading to downtime, protracted recovery processes, and risk for catastrophic loss. Continuous 24/7 connectivity through a space-based IP network will seek to increase asset utilization and efficiency while mitigating risks associated with limited communications links.
