Space Systems

Full-stack integrated communications payloads that combine active phased array antennas, RF front ends, analog and digital beamforming networks, software-defined radios, onboard processing, waveforms, and channelizers into a single architecture.

CesiumAstro payloads combine three mission-critical technologies into one integrated architecture.

Active electronically steered array (AESA) antennas

Electronically steered apertures form, steer, and reshape beams without moving parts, enabling rapid acquisition, high link availability, and precise coverage across users, gateways, or mission areas. True active phased array technology also provides built-in null steering, anti-jam, and spoof-resistant capabilities as part of the architecture.

General-Purpose Compute

Host complex mission applications on a scalable multicore processing platform. Supporting multiple missions, AI/ML workloads, sensor processing, and evolving applications from a common hardware platform.

Reconfigurable Hardware Acceleration

Accelerate waveform, channelization, DSP, AI, and custom data pipelines with adaptable FPGA hardware.

This architecture enables

Dynamic Beam Allocation

Capacity can shift in real time toward users, gateways, or demand hotspots as network conditions change.

On-Orbit Reconfigurability

Beam plans, waveforms, and routing can be updated after launch to extend mission flexibility.

Flexible Beam Management

Operators can create, steer, and reshape coverage areas without physical payload changes.

Multiple Independent Beams

Simultaneous beams support separate links, services, or regions from the same payload.
