One Computer, Endless Possibilities
The era of the single-function satellite is over. The future is software-defined, where a single piece of hardware can power multiple missions. Discover what our computers can unlock.
BACKED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS




Dynamically optimize regenerative payload resources using real-time, onboard intelligence.
Real-time spectrum analysis to autonomously act on interference and optimize frequency use.
Offload high-level 5G-NTN base station processing for true in-orbit network management.
Embed AI in the data path to optimise signals for maximum throughput and quality of service.
Evolve Satellites from Relays to Routers
As the demand for dynamic connectivity grows, so does the need for onboard compute. Sterna delivers extreme performance to communication satellites.
Autonomously filter data in-orbit, discarding irrelevant data to maximize the value of your downlink.
Apply compression to transmit more high-quality data within the same bandwidth constraints.
Execute downstream applications directly onboard, enabling immediate alerts and action.
Enable cognitive sensor capabilities, allowing the satellite to self-task its sensors based on real-time analysis.
Turn Satellites into Data Analysts
As satellite data volumes grow, the downlink becomes the primary mission constraint. Sterna breaks this limit by moving analysis directly to the source.
Run onboard anomaly detection, ensuring mission safety for high-stakes proximity and service operations.
Perform real-time
pose estimation of other satellites for complete situational awareness.
Execute autonomous rendezvous and proximity operations directly on the satellite.
Enable intelligent robotic manipulation, allowing for precise and adaptive control during physical interaction.
Transform Satellites from Assets to Agents
An orbiting satellite is a seemingly unreachable, high-value asset. For modern servicing missions, however, a passive role is not enough. Sterna delivers the onboard computing power needed for critical decisions in real-time.
