Technology

Hex20 is a technology company aiming to provide products, systems and services to small satellite systems. They intend to specialize in the research, design and development of cutting-edge scalable subsystems for small satellites and provide launch services, mission operations and provide data services to clients.

Historically these platforms are large, expensive, and not agile. Hex20 intend to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning based solutions to these subsystems to improve performance and make space missions more accessible.

With the proposed establishment of a lunar gateway, there is ample scope for more smallsat based constellations/swarm missions to the cislunar space and beyond. Hex20’s goal is to deliver solutions to the LEO and cislunar market with a strong focus on making these qualified hardware platforms more intelligent, cost effective, reliable and easily accessible to industry as well as academia.

Potential markets

A global market with initial focus on Asia Pacific.
