About

We build satellites designed to operate and endure in orbit not just exist.

We build satellites, core subsystems, and orbital systems for real missions, real conditions, and long term performance in space.

About

Built from the ground up for real orbital use

Hexeia develops satellites and core subsystems built to perform under real mission constraints.

From full platforms to critical onboard systems, our focus is on reliability, control, and long term relevance in orbit.

While others assemble from catalogues, we develop core satellite systems ourselves, giving us tighter control over performance, reliability, and integration.

Our work spans satellite systems, mission engineering, embedded electronics, ADCS, power, RF, structures, and operations.

Mission

Built for Sustainability

Build adaptable, high reliability satellites and core technologies that enable sustained, controlled, and mission ready operations in orbit.

Vision

Beyond disposable satellites

Move from one time satellites to systems that remain useful, controllable, upgradeable, and relevant throughout their life in orbit.

How We Operate

Built with system level discipline

Built as Systems

Subsystems are not designed in isolation. Every part is developed to work together from day one.

Engineering First

Decisions are driven by performance, testing, constraints, and mission reality.

Designed for Orbit

We build for deployment, operation, and endurance in space not for presentation.

Capabilities

What we build

We build complete satellite platforms and the core subsystems behind them, giving us stronger control over integration, reliability, and mission performance.

Satellite Platforms

Flexible satellites built for different orbits, missions, and payloads, designed for long term operation and adaptability.

ADCS

High agility attitude control systems for precise pointing, stabilization, and dynamic maneuvering.

Power Subsystems (EPS)

Power generation, storage, conditioning, and distribution built for reliable mission performance.

Communication Systems

Command, telemetry, and high rate data links, along with antennas and supporting ground systems.

On Board Computer (OBC)

Embedded computing systems for control, data handling, autonomy, and mission execution.

Propulsion Systems

Compact propulsion solutions for maneuvering, orbit control, and mission flexibility.

Robotic Systems

Orbital interaction mechanisms built for adjustment, actuation, and advanced in orbit operations.

Structures and Integration

Mechanical systems designed for strength, thermal performance, manufacturability, and efficient assembly.

Ground Systems

Support equipment and mission interfaces built to connect satellite operations with testing, control, and data flow on the ground.

Leadership and Core Team

People driving execution

Hexeia is built by a team that combines systems thinking with practical execution across mission engineering, embedded systems, ADCS, power, RF, structures, and operations.
