Kayahn Space Corp.

Kayhan Space has built an autonomous satellite collision avoidance system that reduces the response time to potential collision events by 95 percent. The system also reduces the risk of collision by eliminating delays and human error from the critical path of the response. Its collision avoidance system will be used to notify satellite operators of potential collisions with a recommended maneuver that the satellite will receive within minutes to conduct.

NewOrbit

NewOrbit is developing a propulsion system that uses atmospheric particles as a propellant, which enables satellites to provide better services by operating efficiently at very low Earth orbits (VLEO). Customers will be able to operate satellites at an altitude of 200 kilometers, resulting in three times better image resolution for Earth observation, three times higher capacity for satellite internet, and 10x better weather imagery.
