Mission Portfolio

Orbital Intelligence. Vertically Integrated.

Each SYNE mission is engineered around a specific intelligence need - matching the right orbit, payload, and revisit cadence to the problem at hand. From LEO environmental sensing to MEO maritime coverage, our constellation grows with purpose.

PLANNED

Payload Suite

The right sensor for every mission

SYNE integrates commercial and custom payloads, selected and qualified for the specific orbital and mission requirements.

🔭

Multi-Spectral Imager

Visible, NIR, SWIR bands. Up to 5 m GSD from LEO. Ideal for vegetation, water, and land-use analysis.

🌈

Hyperspectral Sensor

200+ spectral bands enabling mineralogy, atmospheric profiling, and detailed surface composition mapping.

📡

Synthetic Aperture Radar

All-weather, day-night ground sensing. Detects surface deformation, vessel wakes, and buried structures.

📶

AIS & RF Collection

Spaceborne AIS for vessel tracking. Passive RF sensing to detect non-compliant emitters and spoofing attempts.
