Simplifying space.
The Sky and Space Company rental payload service offers access to satellite capabilities on an as-needs basis.
Used by new space companies, Universities and research institutes, Sky and Space’s Three Diamonds satellites effectively act as space-based research and development labs for hire on a subscription-based plan for telemetry access.
Using a highly flexible approach, with a model designed to ensure payload and operational needs of each client are met, Sky and Space Company facilitates multiple missions being housed on a single satellite, allocating hardware, software and payload to shared users.
