SYSTEMS

Vireo

Multi-Beam Communications System

Vireo is a multi-beam active phased array system for high-throughput satellites. The design addresses the state-of-the-art performance requirements for constellations under aggressive SWaP-C targets.

Nightingale 1

Ka-Band High-Speed Downlink Payload

Nightingale 1 is a complete plug-and-play communications system combining a cutting-edge software-defined radio with an ultra-wideband phased array antenna, offering a wide choice of communications protocols and dynamic reconfigurability of the system.

CommPack

Cross-Link Communications Payload

The CommPack cross-link communications payload uses building blocks from CesiumAstro’s modular device ecosystem to enable mobile ad-hoc networking in space. This swarm technology is paving the way for future small satellite missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Ka-Band SATCOM Terminal

Connectivity to space, air, and ground platforms

Deliver always-on connectivity to space, air, and ground platforms with CesiumAstro’s Ka-band SATCOM terminal. The flat-panel AESA provides reliable, high-speed throughput with zero moving parts. Multiple beams provide seamless hand-off between multiple constellations and multiple orbits.

Nightingale 1 Dev Kit

A premium integrated design experience

The Nightingale 1 Development Kit provides an integrated design experience identical to the most common flight configurations, providing a complete bits-to-RF development solution. The development kit supports standard lab cable connections, antenna hats for lab testing, and includes mounting points for use in an RF antenna range.

MODULES
