Whitefox Defense Technologies
Founder Luke Fox
Category Defense

Skyloom
Founder Santiago Tempone, Marcos D. Franceschini
Category Space
Location San Francisco, CA
Product

Skyloom is developing a Space-based optical data transfer network with 100% Earth visibility using just two ultra-small geostationary relay satellites (150kg each), providing high-capacity communication services for low Earth orbit constellations. By 2023, Skyloom aims at transferring 1.25 petabytes per day with flexible data repatriation and featuring a return channel for real-time tasking of customers’ satellites.

Prime Lightworks
Founder Kyle Flanagan
Category Propellant-less electric propulsion for satellites
Location Culver City, CA
Product

Prime Lightworks is developing a RF resonant cavity thruster for satellite propulsion that could replace satellite propellant mass and conventional satellite propulsion systems. Prime Lightworks fully electric propulsion systems would increase satellite payload mass and orbital velocities, while lowering fuel emissions and launch costs to orbit. Satellites’ lifetime would be increased by making it only limited by their components failure, and not anymore by propellant capacity.

Hionos
Founder Valentin Brossard, Amin Elmrabti
Category Aviation
Location Grenoble, France
Product

Pulsar, a reliable drone autopilot system that fuses various data (gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, barometer and magnetometer) for flight stabilization and automated navigation.
Pulsar Factory, a development framework to help OEMs create their own autopilot system using a set of software building blocks that can be adapted to their unique drone architecture with them maintaining sole intellectual property while keeping most of certification credits.
