NewOrbit is engineering very-low Earth orbit satellites that fly at one-third the altitude of conventional satellites, redefining what is possible with existing satellite technology.
Lower than anyone thought possible.
Closer.Better.Cleaner.
By operating closer to Earth, our satellites can capture higher resolution images, transmit more data, and access new layers of atmospheric data. All whilst operating in a naturally self-cleaning orbit.
The most detailed vision of the world.
Operating three times closer to Earth, NEO-1 lets EO payloads resolve detail that is invisible from higher orbits.
Direct-to-Device Data.
NEO-1's altitude enables direct-to-device services — the first time satellite-to-phone links can rival terrestrial bandwidth.
Weather Prediction.
Weather payloads on NEO-1 see clearer patterns in atmospheric behaviour, enabling more precise forecasting.
Designedtobedebrisfree.
Traditional orbits are crowded with thousands of aging satellites and billions of satellite fragments that stay in space for decades. Once decommissioned, our satellites vanish within a month's time—keeping space clean and safeguarding the future of space for everyone.
Safeguarding the future of space.
MeetNEO-1.Theworld'slowestorbitingsatellite.
NEO-1 is one-of-a-kind. It embodies years of perfected engineering—from tailor-made attitude control and cutting-edge materials to a propulsion system designed to sustain very-low Earth orbital flight for five years.
Revolutionaryelectricpropulsionsystem.
Meet our game-changing electric propulsion system – the most efficient ion propulsion system in space. It's the breakthrough technology that makes sustained flight in very-low Earth orbit possible.
Thesatelliteforabettertomorrow.
From enhanced Earth observation and global connectivity to world-class weather forecasting, NEO-1's very-low Earth orbit capabilities enable critical applications that were previously not possible with satellite technology.
Drone-quality satellite imagery.
Flying closer to Earth means cleaner, sharper and higher resolution images. Previously only accessible through drone imagery.
Direct-to-Device internet. Anywhere.
Lower altitudes improves data throughput, making it possible to deliver high-speed, 5G equivalent. direct-to-device internet to anyone, anywhere.
Precise weather forecasting.
Access to new layers of atmospheric data enables more precise forecasts of hurricanes, floods and wildfires.
