Apogeo Space is developing the first private Italian picosatellite constellation for IoT telecommunications. This constellation will provide ubiquitous satellite connectivity and near-real-time data transmission, even in remote areas. Some of the application sectors of Apogeo Space technology are: agriculture, infrastructures, environment, oil & gas, maritime, logistic/transportation, livestock, research and more, while our partners and target-clients are the IoT Solution providers and System integrators with whom we have already started collaborations. Apogeo Space also offers space manufacturing services, including the design, production, testing, and management of satellites and constellations. Grants and technology spin-offs are also part of Apogeo Space’s activities. In 2022 the company received a 5M€ round of financing from Primo Space, the first Italian Venture Capital on the space economy business. The financing is focused on building the first private Italian satellite constellation in LEO (Low Earth Orbit), to provide affordable satellite IoT telecommunication services all over the world. Our technology, made of picosatellites weighting less than 1kg, is flight proven thanks to the successful launch of two technology demonstrators in March 2021 and January 2022. Apogeo Space launched his second batch of 9 satellites in August 2024 and by 2027 the constellation will be composed of 96 satellites.   Active since 2015, Apogeo Space has contributed to the development of major projects by ESA (European Space Agency), ASI (Italian Space Agency) and NASA, often in collaboration with major research institutions including INAF (National Institute of Astrophysics), INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics), Brera Astronomical Observatory, Bologna Astronomical Observatory and Milan Polytechnic University.
