RT Logic small satellite systems business area director Matt Prechtel said: "These new ground radios present a more economical and flexible solution for small satellite missions.
"They are both modular and scalable, supporting single satellites up to large constellations.
"RT Logic’s partnership with Spaceflight will help simplify and assure ground-to-space communication requirements for small satellite operators so they can focus more completely on mission and payload issues."
The company produces communications equipment for satellite ground segment operations, and its ground radios adapt virtual machine (VM) technology to serve low-rate command and control and high-rate mission data downlink requirements.
