Communications & IoT
Direct-to-device links and lower-latency backhaul. VLEO closes the link budget that LEO can't.

Unlocking VLEO for better missions.
Orbitt builds the satellite platform that makes Very Low Earth Orbit a place you can operate from — not just pass through. Sharper data. Faster links. A self-cleaning orbit.

Illustrative — physics-based approximations referenced to a 600 km baseline.
Fly closer and everything improves at once. Three times the resolution from the same optics. Three times lower latency. An order of magnitude more signal. And a natural runway back to Earth that leaves no debris.
For sixty years satellites have lived at 500–800 km — far enough to stay up, far enough to lose resolution, latency, and signal along the way. The congestion building there is the reason VLEO's moment has arrived, not the opening pitch.
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.

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.
