SATLANTIS Signs a Strategic Alliance With SuperSharp in the UK

SATLANTIS MICROSATS, S.A., the largest European provider of high-resolution optical payloads for small satellites, announced that it has entered into a strategic alliance with SuperSharp Space Systems Ltd., a University of Cambridge spin-off specialized in thermal infrared payloads for Earth Observation satellites.

This landmark deal creates a global leader in high-resolution electro-optical payloads for small satellites, with a presence in Spain, the United States through UF startup and UF Innovate | Accelerate resident client SATLANTIS LLC, and now the United Kingdom.

In the context of this alliance, SATLANTIS has acquired a controlling interest in SuperSharp, which will provide the financial and industrial resources required for the expansion of the company ahead of its In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD), scheduled for 2025. The UK Secretary of State approved the transaction in early March. Following the agreement, SuperSharp will remain an independent UK company with its individual brand and unique approach to Space, while benefiting from access to Satlantis’ resources and infrastructure. This agreement will create a Competence Centre for Optical Space Technologies in the UK covering the whole range of the light spectrum to serve current and future customers.
