Objective
SPHERICAL disrupts outdated space electronics, initiating a satellite tech revolution. It pioneers a shift from standardised commodity components to prioritise custom chip designs, taking control of tech and supply chains for superior outcomes. This innovative strategy targets satellite electronics, reducing reliance on vulnerable microchips and other components while addressing critical functional gaps. The Agile Semiconductor Engine drives rapid chip design cycles, empowering compact subsystems and maximising efficiency through generative design. Our flagship component, the PCDU, ensures amplified efficiency, significantly reducing time and expenses per satellite mission.This breakthrough innovation is positioned at the forefront of the industry, poised to disrupt the market and capture significant market share. This innovation represents a game-changer, and the projected revenue of €30M/yr by 2030 from selling satellite avionics to satellite integrators.
