Notes	We can take the laser from inside a fiber-optic cable and make it shoot wirelessly between buildings, cell towers, continents, satellites, and eventually, planets. JANUS-1 satellite launched in February 2023 on SSLV had a payload or technology from Transcelestial among others and considering it as their first satellite. No mention of space on the website as of September 2024. This 36-year-old sci-fi ‘nerd’ quit his banking job to start a deep space startup that has raised $24 million, 2025-01-30. Transcelestial to demonstrate Singapore’s first Inter-Satellite Laser Communications Mission, supported by OSTIn and ST Engineering Satellite Systems, 2025-02-26. The project is scheduled to be tested in orbit by 2026. Transcelestial brings laser communications investment to Australia and Japan’s telecom, defence and space infrastructure, 2025-06-30. 2025 recap: We officially launched our tech into space on a SpaceX rocket.
