Solstar Space Co. Information

Solstar Space is the leading commercial space-based connectivity company pioneering the use of persistent communications services for all types of on-orbit assets including satellites, space stations, launch vehicles, and more. We provide an internet connection between spacecraft and payload managers, satellite operators, and enable orbital and suborbital communications for crewed missions. Our fast, reliable services, space-tested routers, Wi-Fi access points, and hotspots, and satellite space communicators and data relays are being developed to deliver on-orbit persistent connectivity and are supported by 24/7 customer care. These assets are installed on satellites and spacecraft prior to launch to keep crew, spacecraft, and Earth-based satellite operations teams connected. Solstar is a mobile satellite services (MSS) company founded to provide commercial Internet Protocol (IP) data, local Wi-Fi, and voice communications services for astronauts and things in space. Solstar’s modern space-to-ground communications services use existing and emerging commercial satellite constellation networks. Meaning, Solstar does not need to launch its own satellite constellation and we leverage $billions of satellite networks paid for by others. This makes sense since Solstar and its heritage companies have established suppliers and professionals built over the past 22 years. Solstar was formed specifically to provide commercial satellite communications services for space-to-space and space-to-ground applications. Solstar’s founders have owned and operated three MSS companies since 1999. Solstar’s business is the result of 12 years of internal research and development (IR&D) investment to develop space communications technologies. We also leverage our unfunded Space Act Agreement (SAA) with NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program (FOP) awarded to Solstar in 2013, to mature our space communications technology.
