OHB launches ATHENE-1 satellite demonstrator for next-generation communications R&D
  • OHB reported the successful launch of ATHENE-1, a low-Earth-orbit technology demonstrator for next-generation satellite communications.
  • The roughly 300-kg satellite will run 22 in-orbit experiments spanning resilient connectivity, navigation protection, sensing, and onboard AI data processing.
  • Key R&D goals include detecting, locating, and mitigating interference to harden satellite navigation and communications against disruption.
  • The mission tests software-defined, reconfigurable satellite functions designed to be updated post-launch to match evolving standards and requirements.
  • ATHENE-1 uses LuxSpace’s Triton-X Heavy platform with an experimental payload developed with Bundeswehr University Munich under the SeRANIS program.
