Taking innovation from Earth to the Edge of Stars
Bringing you the world's lowest flying satellite!
Why STARS EDGE
Welcome to Stars Edge
At Stars Edge, we’re on a mission to make space both affordable and accessible. By pioneering the world’s lowest sustained orbital satellite, operating at just 100–150 km altitude, we’ve unlocked a unique “sweet spot” where our vehicles are directly enabled by the atmosphere rather than battling against it. This revolutionary approach dramatically lowers launch and operational costs, while maintaining true orbital dynamics.
Our Innovative Technology
Traditional satellites grapple with either the high drag of very low altitudes or the prohibitive energy demands of higher orbits. Star’s Edge bridges this gap with an air-augmented orbital platform: altitude high enough to remain in continuous flight but low enough to leverage aerodynamic lift. The result? Compact, efficient satellites that use lighter, more sustainable materials and off-the-shelf components, drastically reducing production and maintenance expenses.
Unmatched Performance & Applications
Operating in this optimal band allows our satellites to host cutting-edge onboard computing resources, enabling AI-driven edge processing for applications like real-time Earth observation, precision agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Our low orbital latency also revolutionizes telecommunications: faster data delivery, enhanced direct-to-device connectivity, and the potential for entirely new IoT architectures.
Why It Matters
By slashing cost barriers and increasing in-orbit capabilities, Star’s Edge empowers governments, researchers, and enterprises to deploy constellation services with unprecedented agility. Whether you’re mapping climate change, expanding broadband to remote regions, or piloting next-gen robotics, our platform brings space within reach, fuelling innovation on Earth and beyond.

What is VLEO?
Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) refers to orbital altitudes typically below 400 km above Earth’s surface. Flying at these heights dramatically reduces atmospheric distortion and enables smaller optics to achieve sub-metre ground sampling distances, while also lowering launch mass and power requirements for greater cost efficiency. The closer proximity to Earth shortens orbital periods, allowing more frequent revisit rates critical for time-sensitive applications such as disaster response.
AirSAT. Space but Closer
The trouble with space, is there's too much space between us
AirSAT isn’t your average satellite. It’s the lowest-flying Earth observer ever to be developed—so close you’ll barely believe it’s in space. We're making space approachable - get it?
We believe the real problem with space is there’s just too much of it between us. AirSAT bridges that gap, making space cheap, approachable, human and downright neighbourly. AirSAT captures stunning sub-metre imagery with breakthrough clarity and speed. Whether you’re tracking wildfires, mapping urban heat islands or monitoring crops, AirSAT brings precision data “close to home” and accelerates the insights you need.
Innovating Space Connectivity
Our Vision
In an era where global connectivity is crucial, our engine can enable satellite technology to bring faster and more reliable internet access to remote and underserved regions. Our innovative air-breathing propulsion system ensures satellites can stay in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) for extended periods, providing high-speed down-link with reduced latency, enabling Direct to Device architectures and much more!
This breakthrough not only lowers operational costs but also makes it feasible to deploy more satellites, enhancing coverage and connectivity. By leveraging sustainable propulsion technologies, we are paving the way for a future where everyone, regardless of their location, can enjoy the benefits of space.
