About us
EnduroSat is on a mission to transform the complex satellite industry into a streamlined data service, enabling instant access and transactions with space data on the cloud from hundreds of sensors in orbit
All made possible by unique satellite technology and a great engineering team
Founder's message
Access to space should be a basic human right
Space provides us with unprecedented opportunity to outgrow differences and excel. It teaches us humbleness and broadens our perspective. I feel fortunate to work in an organization that empowers brilliant space engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs to explore further every day.
Arthur C. Clarke once wrote “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”, so I tend to believe that we create a bit of magic.
At EnduroSat we work hard to bring space closer to you. I hope that all our efforts, innovation, and endurance will inspire you to explore the final frontier!
