What Mission Space brings to the table

Since the estimated global GDP losses over five years rise as high as $1.1 trillion in case of a severe solar event, the need to safeguard our infrastructure, both on Earth and in space, becomes increasingly urgent.

With its constellation of 24 nanosatellites equipped with a proprietary space weather sensor Zohar, Mission Space is poised to transform solar data collection by generating 1,000 times more data points than existing systems. The company is set to begin rolling out its constellation shortly, with the launch of the first satellite planned in Q1 2025. This data-rich environment will feed AI and scientific models to deliver highly accurate, localised mitigation insights to the industry and empower stakeholders to take timely preventive measures against high-risk space weather phenomena.

A member of the International Astronautical Federation and one of the 110 most remarkable deep tech startups in 2023 by Sifted, Mission Space considers TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 as a major opportunity for the company to revolutionise how space and Earth-based infrastructure operators and decision-makers across various industries mitigate costly solar-event hazards.

Mission Space is excited to join the TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 event and invites space enthusiasts to share in their joy. The team is thankful to each and every supporter and welcomes everyone on board of its site and social media.
