Global Partnership to Enable Near Instant Data Downlink from Space
CEO
ANT61 (Australia) and Parsimoni (France & USA) have announced a strategic partnership integrating Parsimoni's SpaceOS operating system with ANT61's Beacon satellite subsystem.
The collaboration combines ANT61's flight-proven Beacon hardware—an independent satellite resilience and communications module—with SpaceOS, a secure, edge-computing platform for in-orbit software payload management. This integration enables LEO satellites to deliver real-time insights within seconds.
ANT61 Beacon Features
The Beacon subsystem provides:
- Self-contained subsystem with independent sensors and onboard computer
- 24/7 satellite connectivity and real-time telemetry
- Satellite recovery capabilities during primary system failures
- Enables rapid tasking, health monitoring, and reliable deorbiting
SpaceOS Capabilities
SpaceOS brings secure edge computing to space:
- Secure-by-design operating system for edge computing in space
- Processes data in orbit and extracts critical insights
- Transmits only relevant information to ground stations
- Enables immediate team response to data
Industry Impact
Mikhail Asavkin, ANT61 CEO, stated: "space needs to be more collaborative and standardised, which is why we fell in love with Parsimoni."
Miklos Tomka, Parsimoni CEO, emphasized: "With the ANT61 partnership, this takes seconds. Finally, companies can react immediately."
The partnership aims to accelerate Earth Observation data processing, reducing ground-station response times from hours to seconds.
