About HEX20

HEX20 is an international small satellite company headquartered in Thiruvananthapuram, India with offices in the USA, UAE, and Taiwan. The company develops cost-effective, flight-proven small satellite systems designed to bring space access to a wider range of organizations — from research institutions to defense agencies.

HEX20's product portfolio includes modular, scalable small satellite platforms (payload-agnostic with reconfigurable architecture), FlatSat hardware-in-the-loop validation systems for pre-flight testing, a compact radiation-tolerant star tracker compatible with third-party ADCS units, and a range of satellite subsystems optimized for reliability in orbit.

Beyond hardware, HEX20 offers mission-as-a-service, rideshare/payload hosting, ground system services, and accelerated space training programmes (XORBIT Program) for universities. The company's technologies have fueled missions worldwide, with collaborations spanning agencies, universities, and commercial pioneers. HEX20 is involved in UAE asteroid exploration and Earth observation missions.
