Description

Blue Skies Space has developed an innovative funding and delivery model for science satellites. This new model leverages recent advancements in space technology and the rapidly evolving global scientific landscape, enabling us to drastically reduce satellite development time and costs. Our vision is to accelerate and expand the availability of new datasets to researchers worldwide, complementing the facilities delivered by space agencies.

Our upcoming missions include "Mauve," a satellite equipped with a UV spectro-photometric instrument for stellar research (launching on Transporter-15 in October), "Twinkle," which features an infrared spectrometer to study exoplanet atmospheres and solar system bodies, and designing a swarm of CubeSats in the Moon’s orbit for radio astronomy with the support of the Italian Space Agency.

In our presentation, we will discuss how this new approach is set to transform the science data landscape and increase global access to valuable scientific data. To learn more, please visit bssl.space
