advantage. Our constellation will continuously transmit user data to the ground for immediate access via the Internet, private cloud, or other secure delivery. Intersatellite links between the relay satellites allow data to be sent directly to wherever the customer wants it on Earth, without it landing elsewhere.
As the backbone for a secure, industry-grade Wi-Fi network in space, our constellation of satellites in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) ensures that at least one SpaceLink satellite is always visible to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and other spacecraft. Our customers include anyone operating satellites taking any kind of data which needs to get to the ground. Our system will change the way earth observation is done, and the way different system can work together.
At SpaceLink, rigorous system modeling is the core of our design process. We have an opening on our systems modeling team for a senior level individual contributor.
