Exodus Orbitals is building a “satellite-as-a-service” platform, matching both customers and providers of satellite capabilities, similar to model used by cloud computing providers on Earth, with pay-per-use billing and flexible subscription plans, in the following manner:

  • We will offer customers on the ground the way to augment their businesses by accessing space-based capabilities aggregated into a single platform, allowing them to run their software apps directly on the satellite onboard computers.
  • We will offer emerging satellite operators’ access to new customer base through deploying our satellite virtualization middleware on their satellites and connecting them to our “App Store in Space” sales portal .
  • We will offer software developers a new and exciting domain to explore new ideas and monetize them into useful applications that can both improve life on Earth and solve real business challenges.

Wyvern is a pioneering Canadian Space Data company located in Edmonton, Alberta. Established in 2018 by the innovative team that designed, built, and successfully launched Alberta’s first University satellite, Wyvern has emerged as a leader in the space industry. With a strong commitment to advancing Earth observation capabilities, Wyvern is set to revolutionize the field with its groundbreaking satellite constellation that will capture high-resolution hyperspectral imagery.

Dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the Earth’s surface, Wyvern’s satellites possess the unique ability to capture data in numerous narrow spectral bands. This cutting-edge technology allows for the identification of distinctive chemical and physical properties, offering unprecedented insights beyond the range of the human eye. By harnessing these rich datasets, Wyvern opens up new frontiers in environmental monitoring, wildfire prediction, food security, and climate change analysis.

Driven by a resolute mission, Wyvern aims to provide the highest quality satellite imagery through the utilization of state-of-the-art sensor technology. The company prioritizes affordability, capability, and convenience, ensuring that its services are accessible to a wide range of users. As the company embarks on its transformative journey, it has already achieved significant milestones, having successfully launched two satellites as of June 2023, with a third scheduled for launch later this year.

Archangel Lightworks is building deployable laser communication systems for the high-volume, secure, space-enabled networks of the future. Today, space and terrestrial networks are not well-connected leading to insecure, insufficient, and vulnerable infrastructure. Nearly 3 billion people are unconnected and many more are under-connected. We are driving down the size, weight, power & cost (SWaP-C) of optical ground equipment to make resilient space-ground lasercom available and affordable. Our core product, the TERRA-M, is a portable, miniature optical ground station. Compared to traditional networks, TERRA-M allows more licence-free data transferred at low probability of detection and interception. TERRA-M brings deployable, resilient connectivity to wherever it is needed, solving some of Earth’s most critical problems from economic inclusion to climate change.
