Company Profile

Instarsat, LLC is a privately held space technology company that specializes in the development and manufacture of reliable, cost-effective and highly capable satellites for academic, science, civil space, military, and commercial markets.

Today, and in the future, satellite manufacturing companies must address aggressively the problem of exorbitantly high costs of new spacecraft if there is to be any significant impact on 21st century space markets. Increasingly, the space marketplace demands more cost-effective, reliable, and high performance spacecraft platforms for academic, space science, research, and exploration missions. Our response to this need is ExpressBus^TM. ExpressBus^TM represents the first in a family of uniquely versatile small space systems under development by Instarsat^TM. Our spacecraft bus products address the problems of artificially high spacecraft costs and limited improvements in quality and schedule performance by leveraging our ability to quickly respond to customer mission requirements.

Therefore, as the need for highly capable and cost-effective satellite platforms emerges, Instarsat is poised and ready to address this potentially robust space market opportunity by providing unique satellite bus products that reduce the complexities and risks associated with convential satellite projects.

Instarsat is dedicated to being a space market leader. To that end, we will continue to invest in research and development efforts that focus exclusively on delivering the maximum value to our customers.
