Why VLEO
What if your satellite flew 3× closer to Earth?
For sixty years, satellites have lived between 500 and 800 kilometres up. Far enough to stay in orbit. Far enough to lose resolution, latency, and signal along the way.
Very Low Earth Orbit — the band between 200 and 350 km — has always promised something better. Three times sharper data. Three times lower latency. An order of magnitude more signal. And a natural runway back to Earth that leaves no debris behind.
The catch: the same atmosphere that cleans the orbit also pulls satellites down. Conventional propulsion runs out of fuel in months.
We solved the propulsion problem. Now VLEO is open for business.

What 200 km buys you.
3×
Sharper resolution
Same sensor, three times the detail. The diffraction limit working in your favour.
3×
Lower latency
Shorter path, faster round-trip. Critical for direct-to-device and tactical comms.
9×
Stronger signal
Inverse-square law in your favour. Smaller ground antennas. More bits per watt.
Natural
De-orbit
Weeks, not centuries. Zero long-term debris. The atmosphere does the work.
The platform
Meet BREATHE. A satellite bus designed for 200 km.

BREATHE is the first commercial satellite bus built from the ground up for sustained VLEO operations. Air-breathing electric propulsion replaces onboard fuel with the atmosphere itself. Mission duration is limited by hardware, not propellant.
It's not a LEO bus retrofitted to fly lower. It's a platform designed for where it operates.

Responsible by design
A self-cleaning orbit.
Every BREATHE satellite de-orbits naturally within weeks of mission end. No tugs. No disposal manoeuvres. No long-tail debris.
We're already aligned with the FCC's 5-year deorbit rule and the ESA Zero Debris Charter — not because regulators asked, but because the physics of VLEO makes it inevitable.
The orbit cleans itself. We just designed for it.
