Astrolight

Summer’s over, but we’ve been working on something very exciting! 🪐 Our journey toward setting the stage for next-gen secure space-to-Earth data transmission is full on. Passing the European Space Agency - ESA's CDR for ATLAS-1 was a great milestone, but it is not the final step that we are quickly approaching. Take a look at some never seen before footage from the ATLAS-1 assembly clean room, where precision, accuracy, and attention to detail combine in our assembly process. Wondering what’s next? 🛰️ Stay tuned and you will find out the results of our final tests very soon!

Are you ready to enhance your space missions with next-gen laser comms? We’re sure you would benefit from it, so let’s chat at the Small Satellite Conference (SmallSat) 🛰️ from Monday (Aug 5) until next Thursday! We will be waiting for you at the Booth #66 in the Taggart Student Center for everything Astrolight tech-related: for the ones who have heard about us and the ones who are yet to discover. If you’re not sure what to expect, well… Dalius Petrulionis, our CTO, recently shared this after Astrolight’s ATLAS-1 passed @ESA’s CDR: “The subsystems coming together to make up the ATLAS-1 communication terminal have been in development for the better part of the last four years. Now we're geared towards an efficient downlink of data generated in space. With a built-in optical feedback mechanism, ATLAS-1 receives real-time data to monitor transmit beam divergence and pointing angle shifts, and the whole tech is much smaller than other optical communication systems currently available in the market, saving costs while still maintaining overall data throughput.” Let’s continue this conversation - we’ll be waiting!

Astrolight's ATLAS-1 passed the European Space Agency - ESA's Critical Design Review, and you can learn more about that on SatNews! Check the link below in the comments section ⤵

It's definitely a great time to be a part of NATO DIANA - take a look at some of our recent achievements (and footage!)

“In the current climate, it’s very important to have something that is hard to jam.” These were the introductory words by our co-founder and CTO, Dalius Petrulionis, last week at Eurosatory. He represented Astrolight and had a chance to showcase our POLARIS and ATLAS products, an alternative to traditional RF communication. We won’t give too many spoilers this time, because the interview is out for you to view, but stay alert: • The “laser is the future”, but the future is now - it’s already deployable. • You can have more data transmitted, for cheaper. • It can overcome many traditional RF communication problems, such as lack of security. Check the interview below right away!

We demonstrate live tracking capabilities of our naval laser communication system POLARIS for visitors of Eurosatory. Do you want to try it yourself? Then come to our booth No K223 | HALL 5A. #lasercommunication #defence #space #Eurosatory

It is with great pleasure to announce our partnership with the leading commercial space company from South Korea CONTEC on FSO Communication Capabilities! 🌝 On June 13th at the International Space Summit 2024, CONTEC CEO Dr. Sunghee Lee and Astrolight CEO Laurynas Mačiulis signed an MOU with an intent to work together for Free Space Optics (FSO) Communication Capabilities. 🧐 This includes collaborative activities in relation to the research and development of FSO technologies through CONTEC's Optical ground stations, support and use of Astrolight laser communication terminals, and support and use of CONTEC ground station network. 🛰 Founded in 2019, Astrolight is on a mission to bring innovation to the satellite optical connectivity market. Astrolight is led by an ex-founder and CTO of Kongsberg Nanoavionics, Laurynas Mačiulis, together with co-founders possessing extensive experience in the photonics and space markets. Astrolight laser communication terminal ATLAS stands out from competitors due to its small size and low power consumption, leveraging Astrolight’s proprietary beam steering and modular optical amplifier system design. 📡 CONTEC is a global leading space company based in South Korea providing a full-vertical chain solution including ground station engineering solutions, ground station-as-a-service (GSaaS), satellite imagery processing, analytics and application solutions. CONTEC also has two subsidiaries, CONTEC Space Optics where they design and manufacture high resolution electro-optical cameras and CONTEC Earth Service, a provider of environmental monitoring solutions. #ISS2024 #CONTEC #ASTROLIGHT #Freespaceoptics #communication #opticalcommunication #lasercommunication #newspace #MOU

Come and meet our CTO Dalius Petrulionis and systems engineer Adomas Lukenskas to talk about your #OpticalCommunication needs for space & defence at Eurosatory booth No K223 | HALL 5A. Astrolight is part of Lithuania pavilion orginized by Ekonomikos ir inovacijų ministerija & Innovation Agency Lithuania | Global #Eurosatory #LaserCommunication #Defence #Space

Want to find out how our space tech is being used for defence? 🛳️ Next week, from June 17 to 21, all the answers will be in Paris, at Eurosatory 2024! This month is all about outreach for us, and participating in one of the biggest events for security and defence will be a great chance to showcase that investing in space tech definitely has a return on Earth. 🌎 Come talk to us and get to know our new product POLARIS - a small FSO communication solution for naval vessels and unmanned surface vehicles, offering high-throughput transmission operable in radio-denied environments. It features rapid link acquisition in under a second, with up to 6 low-cost  terminals providing 360° coverage for robust communication. We hope to see you soon, but even if you’re not there - feel free to reach out to us or drop a comment! #SpaceTech #LaserCommunication #Defence #Security #Eurosatory

The flagship event dedicated to optical and quantum communication technologies in Europe #Scylight2024 starts today. Astrolight CTO Dalius Petrulionis will present our brand new space-to-ground laser communication terminal ATLAS-1.
