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
We're consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation to create groundbreaking solutions that effectively meet today's challenges.
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
From sharper imagery to sustainable performance, our technology redefines what’s possible in orbit — faster, smarter, and with greater control.dsadsadsadas
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.
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.
