ReliaSat and AYECKA announce Next Generation Communication Payload

ReliaSat and AYECKA join forces, under grant from Florida Israel Space program, supported by the Israel Innovation Authority and the Space Florida, for the development of a state-of-the[1]art communication and processing payload for Nano satellitesThe new payload, is based on the AYECKA OPR (Observe Process Report) platform, designed for the LASSI satellites. This platform includes a combination of a digital communication capability combined with advanced processing and AI accelerator engines. The new payload will be equipped with ReliaSat advanced Ka band transceiver, enabling the system to provide both satellite to ground (GSL) and satellite to satellite (ISL) high speed communication links in the Ka band.

The new payload will enable true real time earth observation applications, combined with high speed GSL and ISL links. The system and its derivatives will be tested on the LASSI line of advanced nano satellites, which are planned to be launched during 2025 and 2026.

“ReliaSat is grateful for the support from the Israel Innovation Authority, and Space Florida, which has enabled this ambitious project to take flight. The partnership is poised to reshape the landscape of satellite communication and Earth observation, heralding a new era of technological achievement. We look forward to the transformative impact of this partnership with AYECKA.”

“We are excited to join forces with ReliaSat under the Florida Israel collaboration program, for the development of a critical element for the new-space industry. We are confident that this new payload will allow both companies to better support our customers, by providing the most advanced performance, says Avi Barda, president of AYECKA.”
