Startical, an air traffic management developer, is set to begin tests of its satellite constellation to provide air traffic services from space.
The constellation, made up of 270 satellites, will be tested using satellites from NanoAvionics over six months. Specifically, Startical has chosen NanoAvionics’s MP42 microsatellite bus, weighing around 240 pounds, for the tests.
Under the project, Startical will assess the performance of its VHF radio communication systems and the ADS-B surveillance systems directly from space.
The test satellite is expected to become operational by 2025.
