Description

Elevation-1 E-band communication Satellite ready for launch on SpaceX Transporter-12

We're thrilled to announce the successful build and flight qualification of Elevation-1 at Ananth Technologies, an in-orbit demonstration IOD that marks a significant milestone in space-to-ground communications. This mission enables Almagest Space Corporation IOM Limited’s BIU mission to demonstrate futuristic E-band technology and evaluate its performance in space.

As the first commercial global mission to showcase E-band communications with digital modulation, Elevation-1 is paving the way for future data rates exceeding 10 Gbps. Designed and built by XDLINX Space Labs Pvt. Ltd. on XDSAT-NS platform and powered by Antaris Inc Software, this mission opens new frontiers in satellite communications.
