About
spacehost™ offers a unique satellite-as-a-service model designed for space subsystem suppliers to easily demonstrate the performance of their technology in orbit. Instead of costly dedicated platforms, customers only provide their payload, and Exotrail handles the rest, from integration on spacevan™ to precise orbital maneuvers and critical data delivery. This service allows you to focus on technology development while Exotrail manages the complexities of the space segment.
For those with equipment ready to generate valuable data, spacehost™ leverages the spacevan™ platform, available for missions in LEO or GEO. This fully equipped platform features large solar panels for power, a robust ground station network for high-bandwidth communication, and a flight-proven operation center to ensure safe and reliable payload operations. spacehost™ can also extend existing networks by carrying a customer’s payload, becoming another asset for monetizing data. The service is offered across various payload sizes (Small, Medium, Large, Extra-large) on spacevan™ LEO, with specific performance metrics for LEO and GEO missions, including pointing accuracy, power availability, and data rates.
