About us
Our mission started with operating one satellite
We will change that.
The Company
Satellite Missions Made Simple. This is what SAT.IO represents. But it’s not only the simplicity. We see the enormous benefit, new space companies bring. We see upcoming solutions for monitoring climate change, critical infrastructure, or agriculture. They all have brilliant minds behind their own sophisticated visions. They want to support humanity with their solutions. We are driven by helping them.
Operating satellites is difficult and complicated. Especially when it comes to being cost efficient and to survive in a competitive environment. We support space organizations with a modern operating system. We enable them to stay focused on their core business, allowing a sustainable growth.
