Connectivity + Observation
From the stratosphere.
At NASSAT we develop advanced connectivity solutions specifically designed for HAPS stratospheric platforms (High Altitude Platforms), conceived to operate between 18,000 and 21,000 metres (60,000 to 70,000 feet) and pressurised passenger or payload platforms at 15,000 to 20,000 metres (50,000 to 65,000 feet). Our systems enable robust, high-capacity links along the Satellite / Stratosphere / Earth axis, minimising latency and maximising reliability in extreme environments.
SATCOM for Observation and Communications HAPS
Unmanned stratospheric platforms designed for connectivity, surveillance and support to mission-critical operations at altitudes of up to 21,000 metres.
SATCOM for Stratospheric Tourism Airship
Unmanned stratospheric platforms designed for connectivity, surveillance and support to mission-critical operations at altitudes of up to 21,000 metres.
Electronic flat-panel antennas
No moving parts, with electronic beam steering, automatic signal acquisition and dynamic polarisation selection (TRL 6).
Satellite / HAPS links
Compatible with multiple HTS and VHTS constellations, supporting instant switching (latency < 35 ms).
Stratosphere / Earth connectivity
Through massive MIMO and 3D beamforming technologies, with operational alternatives in S-band.
High-tech composite materials: Aerogel, Kapton, Teflon and Carbon Fibre.
Automated thermal-control systems to keep a stable internal temperature of 25°C in external conditions down to -70°C.
Vacuum assembly, hermetic sealing and protection against cosmic radiation and electrostatic charges.
Additional functionalities
Integration of position-determination, automatic tracking systems and the capability for long-range continuous operation, on both unmanned and light manned platforms.
Governments and defence
Border surveillance, maritime and air traffic control, emergency communications.
Civil protection and environment
Observation and tracking platform. Remote sensing of forest fires (FIPAS integration), climate monitoring and environmental management.
Telecommunications
Extension of mobile coverage in rural or remote areas and network backup in crisis situations.
Private companies and aerospace consortia
Extension of mobile coverage in rural or remote areas and network backup in crisis situations.
Strategic note
Currently, many HAPS projects under development lack integrated advanced communications solutions. NASSAT works actively with public and private bodies to meet this critical need with its own technology and strategic alliances.
