As satellite missions become more ambitious and data-hungry, laser communications emerge as the backbone of the next-generation space infrastructure. From improving SWaP for CubeSats to unlocking new societal benefits, the transition from RF to laser isn’t just inevitable—it’s essential. AAC Clyde Space and our partners are proud to lead this transformation, one beam at a time.

AAC Omnisys are long term suppliers of Water Vapour Radiometers for the antennas at the ALMA telescope, which ESO operates jointly with international partners in Chile. ALMA is allowing scientists to carry out research on the complex chemistry of the giant cosmic clouds of gas and dust that spawn stars and planetary systems.

The ESA Arctic Weather Satellite is an initial prototype mission that aims to demonstrate the usefulness of radiometric measurements to improve weather forecasts in the Arctic region and globally. AAC Omnisys has developed and built an innovative scientific weather payload in Gothenburg specifically for this mission, a passive microwave radiometer, which will provide temperature and humidity measurements of the atmospheric layers, this data will be used for Numerical Weather Prediction and Nowcasting.

Nova-C is the first lander of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, which is focused on the exploration and use of natural resources of the moon. AAC Clyde Space’s STARBUCK-MINI PCDUs are being used for this mission.
