Satellites, evolved.

We’ve replaced the weakest link in satellite design, so you can scale bigger, fly faster, and aim sharper.

The satellite industry is struggling

To deploy

Satellite production timelines are long and expensive, and our launch capacity can't keep up with demand for mega-constellations.

To control

Current satellites rely on decades-old wheel-based pointing control systems: the primary cause of both disruptive jitter and mission failure.

To scale

Higher fidelity payloads require more power and bigger solar panels. Bigger panels cripple maneuverability. One must choose high power OR high agility.

Our Solution

Crafting Tomorrow's Innovative Solutions

We're consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation to create groundbreaking solutions that effectively meet today's challenges.

Rapid Deployment

Samara Aerospace's Hummingbird spacecraft bus provides a modular and scalable platform that will streamline the production and deployment of satellites. Hummingbird's compact architecture significantly lowers launch costs by more effectively utilizing launch capacity.

Next-Gen Control

We're bringing JWST pointing precision to the commercial LEO market with our patented MSAC technology. By using actuators embedded in the hinges of deployable solar panels, MSAC provides 3-axis attitude control and active jitter cancellation. No wheels that shake. No bearings to wear out. Virtually no added mass.

Flip the Trade

Since Hummingbird derives its pointing control and agility from its MSAC-enabled solar panels, it’s the only satellite system that gets more control with larger panels. This flips the fundamental trade the industry is battling, allowing Hummingbird to achieve high power AND high agility.

Our Vision

The Future Is Agile

From sharper imagery to sustainable performance, our technology redefines what’s possible in orbit — faster, smarter, and with greater control.

Better Imagery

Imaging spacecraft are in a constant battle with jitter (which blurs images) and flutter (induced in solar panels after a maneuver). MSAC is the only attitude control system that actively cancels jitter, and since the control is built into the panels, you never have to wait for flutter to dissipate to take a picture.

Faster Internet

The future of space-based Internet lies in optical (laser) communications. MSAC unlocks the pointing stability needed to increase the data throughput of these highly sensitive systems. With milli-arcsecond pointing precision enabled by MSAC, closing an optical link to Mars goes from impossible to realistic.

Space Superiority

In an increasingly contested space environment, situational awareness and rapid response is crucial. By leveraging large deployable structures, Hummingbird can achieve unprecedented torque for rapid tracking or evasive maneuvers. Get CMG agility without the bulk and expense.

Sustainability

It takes a lot to get satellites into orbit, and it wastes a lot when they burn up in the atmosphere on the way down. We want to reduce that cost with efficient satellites that do more with less.
