Space-rated satellite module providing independent two-way inter-satellite communication, real-time diagnostics, and rapid anomaly recovery.
The ANT61 Beacon is a compact (0.9 x 0.959 x 0.24U, ~275g) satellite module proven in orbit since March 2024 that delivers independent two-way inter-satellite communication via Iridium, real-time telemetry collection across orbital, attitude, radiation, temperature, and power data, and autonomous anomaly diagnosis and recovery independent of primary satellite systems. It includes an independent battery sustaining operation for up to one week during satellite power loss, supports USART, CAN-FD, SPI, and I2C interfaces, and is non-ITAR.
