About
Satellize offers complete national space programs, delivering sovereign satellite solutions that ensure national ownership and control over space assets. These programs include modular bus platforms ranging from 10 to 200 kg, various payloads such as optical, SAR, hyperspectral, and RF, sovereign ground segments, mission-control software, and certified operator training. The company emphasizes that a sovereign space program means the host nation owns the satellites, ground segment, encryption keys, and operating doctrine, preventing any foreign entity from interfering with its operations. Satellize has delivered programs across Asia, the Pacific, the Gulf, and the Indian Ocean rim, with past programs including Tonga’s sovereign satellite restoration after the 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption. A first-launch sovereign program typically takes 18 to 36 months from contract to operational handover, depending on payload complexity and ground-segment scope. Emergency restoration programs can re-establish sovereign capability in days using pre-staged hardware.
