  • Dino Lorenzini Spaace Talk / Issue #1 2 Message from the Ceo
    SPAACE TALK Issue #1 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO THE BIG IDEA COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS 5 MINUTES WITH... DINO LORENZINI SPAACE TALK / ISSUE #1 2 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO MESSAGE FROM THE CEO WELCOME TO THE FIRST EVER ISSUE OF SPAACE TALK. This is where we take a closer look at what’s going on across the Group and hear from colleagues and industry experts on the most exciting themes in New Space. Our vision at AAC is to deliver high-quality, timely data from space for a better life on Earth. To that end, in the last year we have welcomed three fascinating businesses to the Group and expanded our talented team to over 150 people across the world – from Washington to Uppsala. As we continue to grow and accomplish great things together, I hope that SPAACE TALK will help us to stay connected and focused, by sharing stories from all corners of our global business and putting them into a broader context: how do they help to make our vision a reality? In this issue, we are shining a light on Space Data as a Service. This will be AAC’s top growth engine over the coming years and it’s an area I’m hugely excited to develop. We’ve already made great progress: our acquisition of SpaceQuest in 2020 was a gamechanger and we’ll be speaking to SpaceQuest founder Dino Lorenzini in this issue. We’ve also got an exciting round-up of news from across the business, including a very special guest visit to our Glasgow facility – so read on, I hope you enjoy it.

  • A. the Proposed Program of Research and Experimentation Spacequest, Ltd
    FCC Form 442 Exhibit 1 File #: 0220-EX-CN-2018 Question 7: Purpose of Experiment A. The Proposed Program of Research and Experimentation SpaceQuest, Ltd. (“SpaceQuest”), a U.S. corporation headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, requests FCC experimental authorization to test and evaluate an advanced RF Transceiver developed by Myriota, a spin-off company from the University of South Australia. Myriota has designed a novel communications protocol that uses a Software Defined Radio (SDR) and advanced signal processing that allows very large numbers of low power signals from user terminals to be received on the same frequency channel. Myriota desires to evaluate the ability of this advanced radio to function in a space environment. If successful, this would bring a cost-effective data communication technology to a new class of users – those with operations that require direct-to-orbit access to small amounts of data from numerous low-power devices. The primary objective of the mission is to investigate, identify and resolve potential technical and implementation issues with its advanced satellite SDR radio design. Another important objective is to demonstrate the ability to upload and run new firmware that can introduce new features to the SDR Radio after it is on orbit. The results of this three-phase experiment will (1) demonstrate and validate the ability to uplink large numbers of messages to a satellite using a single channel, (2) demonstrate the ability to downlink messages to different ground devices on a single channel, and (3) implement Myriota’s advanced signal processing algorithms on board a satellite to provide highly spectrally efficient bidirectional communications.

  • Exhibit 1 Rev B THEA Purpose Spacequest, Ltd. FCC
    FCC Form 442 Exhibit 1 File #: 0176-EX-CN-2018 Question 7: Purpose of Experiment A. The Proposed Program of Research and Experimentation SpaceQuest, Ltd. (“SpaceQuest”), a U.S. corporation headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, requests FCC experimental authorization to test and evaluate a spectrum survey payload developed by Aurora Insight (“Aurora”). The payload is a novel, proprietary design and is experimental in nature. The primary objective of the mission it to qualify Aurora’s payload, consisting of a proprietary spectrometer and components, and demonstrate the generation of relevant measurements of the spectral environment. The results of the experiment will inform future development of advanced instrumentation by Aurora and component development by SpaceQuest. The requested UHF frequency assignment will be used for satellite telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C), while the S-Band assignment will be used to download selected spectrum data from the payload. Specifically, SpaceQuest requests FCC experimental authority to construct, launch and operate a low-Earth orbit CubeSat, “THEA”, on an unprotected, non- interference basis. The space-to-Earth downlink frequency band of 400.50-400.65 MHz and the Earth-to-space uplink frequency band of 399.90-400.05 MHz for TT&C communications will communicate with SpaceQuest’s Earth stations in Fairfax, Virginia, Naalehu, Hawaii, North Pole, Alaska, and Limestone, Maine. The allocation in the space-to-Earth frequency band of 2200-2202 MHz will be used to downlink experimental test data to Earth Stations in Limestone, Maine and Esrange, Sweden. The allocation in the Earth-to-space uplink frequency band of 2045-2046 MHz will be used to acknowledge the downlinks and to upload new firmware to the Aurora payload infrequently.
