Published purpose

GALAXIA’s MÖBIUS Satellite Constellation is the first pay-per-use Earth Observation (EO) platform. This constellation of software defined nanosatellites will enable businesses of any size to avoid the obstacles of entering the space sector by offering an intelligent and adaptable satellite service at a reasonable cost. The MÖBIUS Constellation will host an array of powerful and versatile space sensors on a shared-access basis. The highly configurable system allows platform users to deploy, scale, and modify proprietary software on the constellation while in orbit. Advanced edge compute technology enables sensor data to be acquired and processed in real-time, preventing data delivery delays for the end-user. The pay-per-use pricing model creates an affordable EO solution which ensures that customers only pay for what they use. The proposed technology demonstration aims to launch a binary mission consisting of a single hub and spoke in order to demonstrate and test the capabilities of the hub and spoke relationship aspect of the MÖBIUS constellation in space. The technology demonstration will help GALAXIA to push the limits of MÖBIUS Software Defined Satellites. GALAXIA will further work with its industry and government partners, both from Canada and abroad, to fly their solutions onboard MÖBIUS in space. GALAXIA has a vast and growing portfolio of industry and government partners from energy to aquaculture to ocean and defence that are working with us to develop powerful applications and demonstrate them during this mission.
