Astrogate Labs

Astrogate Labs is a Bengaluru-based spacetech startup (founded 2017) building laser/optical communication terminals and networks for small satellites. It develops compact space-to-ground laser communication terminals, space-to-space (inter-satellite) optical terminals, and a network of low-cost optical ground stations to enable high-speed satellite data downlink.

Astro-Link

development
laser communication terminal

Compact, fully integrated laser communication terminal for cube/nano satellites providing satellite-to-ground optical downlink (up to ~1 Gbps with observatory-grade ground telescopes; ~150 Mbps with low-cost optical ground terminal).

Since 2021

Optical ground station / ground terminal

development
optical ground segment

Low-cost optical ground terminals and a planned network of optical ground stations sited in dry, low-atmospheric-interference regions.

Space-to-space (inter-satellite) optical terminal

development
inter satellite laser terminal

Optical terminals for laser-based inter-satellite links between satellites in a network.

Key Challenges

Atmospheric interference on optical/laser downlinks, requiring ground stations in dry regions.Capital requirements to build out a commercial network of optical ground stations.Maturing space-to-space (inter-satellite) terminals from prototype to operational.
