World Space Week | PF1000 | The Wizard Nebula.

The Wizard Nebula earned its magical nickname because narrowband images reveal gas and dust clouds shaped like a medieval sorcerer wearing a pointed hat and robes.

The CDK17 is built for high-performance imaging, research, and tracking. Engineered to see farther, sharper, and with purpose.

Our technology powered laser communications across nearly 500 million km of interplanetary space - all the way to @MissionToPsyche, the first spacecraft to demonstrate optical communications beyond the Earth-Moon system.

Lasercom is the future.

At 100x the speed of traditional radio frequency (and 1/10th the power), our systems power the next generation of space communications.

Telescope Tuesday spotlight: the CDK1000

It is a 1-meter aperture telescope system designed for SDA, deep-sky imaging and dynamic research.

Swipe for the CDK1000 Cosmic Card!

Space startups used to solve connectivity themselves.

@ObservableSpace is helping turn connectivity into infrastructure, giving satellite constellations high-bandwidth links to each other and to the ground out of the box.
