In-Orbit Demonstration Mission

CShark’s In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) missions are dedicated to testing and validating new-generation technologies in real space conditions. Through these missions, the company integrates experimental payloads, ranging from communication subsystems and IoT modules to sensors and AI-driven data processors, aboard its PILOT® picosatellites and ANT® cubesats.

Each IOD mission serves as a critical step toward achieving Technology Readiness Level (TRL) advancement, allowing both CShark and its partners to assess system performance, resilience, and interoperability in the harsh environment of orbit.

The IOD program is a cornerstone of CShark’s broader strategy to accelerate the transition of innovative concepts into fully deployable technologies for aerospace, defense, and industrial IoT sectors. By leveraging its proprietary platforms and European-patented technologies, PONGO®, PILOT®, ANDROMEDA®, and PERSEUS®, CShark ensures end-to-end control over every phase: from system integration and mission design to launch and on-orbit operations.
