ANT61

ANT61 is a space technology company based in Sydney, Australia. It also has an office in El Segundo, California. The company delivers autonomous mission assurance for the new space era. Its aim is to protect critical infrastructure and make it more resilient, connected and reliable.

The ANT61 Beacon is its main product. The Beacon keeps satellites that people rely on every day alive. The company says it reduces operational risk by 65 percent. It is built around three ideas. These are real-time communication, an independent architecture and autonomous recovery. The Beacon is meant for satellite operators and mission teams. In short, the company focuses on keeping satellites working once they are in orbit.

More than 20 specialists built the company at its home office in Sydney. A global advisory network supports them. The team covers electrical design, mechanical design, mission software and flight software. It also has project management and growth roles. A US team adds a satellite reliability expert, an adviser for government, defence and intelligence, and an investor relations adviser.

ANT61 says it operates globally, with strong ties across Australia, Asia, Europe and the United States. It runs an internship programme. Satellite operators who want to add the Beacon to their next mission can contact the company. The company says it replies within 48 hours.
