#News(Startup) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Bengaluru-based spacetech startup Astrogate Labs, working in the satellite communication field, has raised an undisclosed amount of funding in a pre-Series A round from VC firm Speciale Invest. This funding development comes close on the heels of a round raised by another spacetech startup, called Bellatrix Aerospace, which is working in the field of satellite propulsion. Actor Deepika Padukone was among the investors in Bellatrix.
Speciale had invested in Agnikul Cosmos, which builds small satellite launch vehicles, and Kawa Space, which develops and sends small satellite constellations to low earth orbit.Astrogate Labs has many big plans up its sleeve, including a small-aperture optical ground terminal, and plans to set up a network of optical ground stations. This will simplify and reduce the cost of satellite operators.
The smallsat optical terminal developed by Astrogate Labs can provide 150 mbps link speeds with its small-aperture optical ground terminal and up to one gbps with an observatory grade telescope coupled with Astrogate’s optical modem. Smallsat operators can integrate Astrogate’s optical terminal as a COTS unit and subscribe to a ground communication plan for a full turn-key solution.
