Skeyeon - Microsatellites in VLEO for Earth monitoring!

In an era where information is power, Skeyeon stands at the forefront of a technological revolution. 

Our Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) technology, currently in development, is not just an innovation; it's a paradigm shift in how we gather and utilize satellite intelligence. With Skeyeon, the future of global surveillance and data acquisition is on the horizon.

We're making smaller, cheaper, high-performance satellites, built for an orbit no one's currently using, to tap into the multi-Billion $$ Earth Observation market.

Here's one way to think of it everyone can relate to - if you want a nice photo of someone's face, or in our case the Earth, do you want to take it from across the street or from a few feet away? By flying our satellites lower than anyone else can, we get great close ups!

The Challenge of Outdated Satellite Intelligence and Skeyeon's Unique Solution

The world moves fast, but traditional satellite systems lag behind. With  orbital times nearing 24 hours, these systems provide data that's often outdated before it even reaches the ground. This delay is a critical bottleneck in sectors where timely information can mean the difference between success and failure, safety and danger. From military operations requiring up-to-the-minute intelligence to disaster response teams needing immediate situational awareness, the need for real-time data is paramount.

Existing satellite solutions face several limitations, including high costs, limited bandwidth, data latency, and line-of-sight transmission issues. Furthermore, the frequency spectrum is becoming increasingly congested, leading to potential increases in interferences.

Skeyeon's approach addresses these limitations by focusing on two key factors: availability of information and high availability of the satellite system. Unlike existing solutions that may have significant data delay, Skeyeon aims to provide fast data acquisition. This speed is crucial for applications where immediate availability of information is essential. 

Additionally, Skeyeon plans to ensure high availability of its satellite system, making it a reliable source of data for various applications. While Skeyeon may not offer the highest resolution available in the market, it strikes a balance between resolution and immediate availability of data. 

This balance is critical for many applications where timely data is more important than extreme high resolution.

Satellite data has changed the world, but it is too expensive and not price-elastic enough for persistent (daily) coverage

While competitors have been investing in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, Skeyeon was the first to recognize the benefits of Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) over 6 years ago.

Working with leading experts, Skeyeon has solved all key technical hurdles to operate low-cost satellites at half the altitude of traditional Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.

We are going to disrupt the Earth Observation market, currently dominated by big government agencies, by building a constellation of these satellites for VLEO, or Very Low Earth Orbit, lower orbits than anyone has used to date for large constellations. As you can guess, getting closer is better for many things: pictures, data transmission (link budget), less costs, and monitoring the Earth's other various systems.

This market is ripe for disruption, just like the rocket industry was before SpaceX started building and launching rockets.

There are other companies out there that do satellite imagery, but you get a high-resolution picture once a month or so, depending on their orbits, or low-resolution pictures once a week. We plan to have high resolution daily! This is a game changer for many industries.

Skeyeon's Game-Changing Approach

  • VLEO Technology - Skeyeon is redefining satellite technology with our pioneering Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) approach, currently in development. By planning to operate satellites closer to Earth, we aim to achieve unprecedented image clarity and data acquisition speed. This proximity is intended to enhance the quality of intelligence and significantly reduce the time between data capture and analysis.
  • Real-Time Insights - Our VLEO satellites are designed to unlock real-time insights. In a world where situations evolve by the minute, Skeyeon aims to provide the agility and speed necessary to keep pace. From geopolitical monitoring to environmental surveillance, our technology is intended to ensure decisions are made based on the most current information available.
  • Innovative Technologies - Navigating the challenges of VLEO orbits requires innovation at every step. Skeyeon is developing a suite of patented technologies addressing everything from advanced propulsion for precise maneuvering to specialized coatings that combat atomic oxygen erosion. Our innovations are the backbone of our planned VLEO capabilities, setting new standards in satellite technology.


The reason no one has done this to date is because of the technical challenges required to fly satellites in VLEO, as this orbit does have a thin atmosphere of highly corrosive atomic oxygen.

Our team of experts has solved these challenges, with patents pending and issued, allowing us to fly closer to the Earth than anyone has done to date. Closer means better images and monitoring, easier data transmission, and more.

Our satellites are about the size of a coffee table, and built for interchangeable payloads, so we can send different instruments up depending on what is needed. Need to monitor methane emissions? Need to monitor illegal whaling or fishing activity? Need to monitor infrared or UV on the dark side of the planet? Skeyeon believes our satellites will be able to do that.

Beyond Military: A World of Applications

The potential applications of Skeyeon's technology extend far beyond military and security realms. Our high-resolution daily imagery, once operational, is envisioned to revolutionize industries across the board. In agriculture, we plan to assist in precision farming, helping to maximize yields and conserve resources, and play a crucial role in global drought monitoring.

In the maritime sector, we aim to serve as an ocean watchdog including tracking illegal activities and pollution monitoring. For infrastructure monitoring, our real-time imagery is intended to aid in everything from urban planning to disaster response.

Additionally, we foresee our technology being pivotal in climate change monitoring, wildlife conservation, disaster preparedness, and renewable energy siting.

These examples are just the tip of the iceberg; the reach of our technology is virtually limitless. Wherever global and current visual information is vital, Skeyeon's solution has a purpose, aiming to make the world a better, safer, and more sustainable place.
