Stellar Project is a space technology company created in 2016 as a spin-off of the University of Padova, Italy, offering game-changing solutions for light satellites with a high degree of care towards space environmental sustainability. Stellar Project aims to fill the gap in performances and capabilities between small satellites and large spacecraft, providing original and proprietary technology. The company vision embraces global space democratization, bringing together the best talent and creativity to develop bright ideas to fit into smart satellites products and services. In 2021, Stellar Project launched LaserCube, a proprietary and patented revolutionary technology. LaserCube is a patented miniature low-power, high-performance laser communication terminal specifically designed for CubeSats and smallsats. With its independent and accurate pointing capability, LaserCube allows throughput performance more than ten times higher than state-of-the-art radiofrequency solutions for small satellites enabling several innovative business applications. LaserCube, as the optical telecommunication highway for small satellites, will deliver an unprecedented increase in data volume, communication security, and speed: another step towards accessible and affordable space technology for all. Stellar Project is also working in consortiums within the H2020 program on Quantum Communication and started to expand its activities on data analytics both for terrestrial applications and the space environment providing tools for Space Debris Analysis and monitoring. Stellar Project is a member of AIPAS – Italian Space Industry Association and Access Space Alliance.
