Last week, during the Asia-Pacific Satellite Communications Council (APSCC)’s annual Satellite Conference and Exhibition (APSCC2019), Singapore/UK startup Infinite Orbits clinched the top prize at the event’s first ever NewSpace Pitch Competition.
Infinite Orbits is a geostationary satellite life-extension startup with services that include station keeping, GEO satellite disposal, and relocation services.
Two other companies were presented the Audience Awards: Delta-V Robotics, an India-based startup offering a cloud-based satellite design software, and Singapore-based Terran Space Technologies, which is working on cubesat manoeuvrability using water-propelled 3D-printed thrusters.
The other two contestants were also Singapore-based companies: Equatorial Space Industries, which is developing a small launch vehicle, and SpeQtral, which builds and deploys satellites for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).
