About
Skykraft provides space-based air traffic management via its self-designed small-satellite LEO constellation delivering global VHF communications and surveillance for aircraft tracking, remote/oceanic coverage, and Air Navigation Service Provider integration.
Mission
Skykraft offers a comprehensive space-enabled Air Traffic Management (ATM) service that provides global VHF communications and surveillance, including coverage for remote and oceanic regions. The company designs and builds its own small satellites through rapid internal build-and-test cycles and launched 10 satellites in 2023. Skykraft plans further satellite launches in 2024 to complete final in-orbit testing and aims to deploy its initial constellation in 2025. Its planned constellation comprises hundreds of satellites in low-earth orbit to enable space-based VHF communications and surveillance. The service is positioned to improve aircraft tracking, reduce unnecessary air miles, lower CO2 emissions and increase safety and efficiency for the aviation sector. The recent investment target will fund deployment of the initial ATM constellation and support service customisation with global Air Navigation Service Providers.
