Unveiling The Hidden

We know much about our planet, yet most of it remains unexplored.
ASTRO reveals it through innovative space technologies.

ODRADEK Orbit

A space architecture engineered to move Beyond the limits of traditional Earth Observation.

Earth Observation is still limited.

Revisit time High-resolution intelligence depends on rare orbital passes, so critical events go unseen.
Cost Persistent, all-weather monitoring stays expensive and operationally complex.
Coverage Single-perspective satellites leave gaps and reconstruct data only after acquisition.

A new class of space-based observation.

Two tethered units are deployed and held at a controlled baseline, sensing as one coordinated system.

Coherent data, generated at acquisition.

20-40x Better radial-velocity accuracy vs. free-flying formations

Up to 200 m Controlled tethered baseline for interferometric SAR

Single-pass Moving-target detection without revisit dependency

Onboard Pre-processing that cuts time-to-intelligence

Imaging Capabilities

Multi-sensor acquisition designed for richer Earth-observation analytics.

Optical, SAR and GNSS-R capabilities combine to capture geometry, material response, motion and environmental surface signals.

Visible, NIR And SWIR Bands

High-resolution optical and multispectral imaging.

The system captures detailed reflectance signatures across visible, near-infrared and shortwave infrared bands, enabling precise mapping of surface composition, vegetation conditions and material properties.

Why Our Solution

Unique raw imagery for geospatial companies that need actionable insight across diverse markets.

We see what current systems leave unnoticed, minimize data latency through single-pass multi-angle observations and provide exclusive perspectives that drive smarter solutions.

Reveal What Is Hidden

Extend visibility beyond what conventional orbital systems can observe from a single perspective.

Minimize Data Latency

Generate coherent multi-angle observations in a single orbital pass instead of waiting for revisit cycles.

Deliver Exclusive Perspectives

Produce richer raw datasets for downstream analytics, decision intelligence and high-value applications.

Ongoing Projects

QUASAR

ASTRO is a partner in the QUASAR project, funded by ESA and led by INRiM with Starion Italia and Politecnico di Torino. The project explores quantum-based absolute radiometric calibration directly on board satellites to improve long-term stability and traceability of Earth Observation measurements.

ASTRO contributes expertise in space system engineering and Earth Observation mission design, supporting system-level feasibility studies and the integration of quantum calibration concepts into future satellite platforms.
