  • Startical, a joint venture by ENAIRE and Indra, is advancing its project to provide air traffic services from space.
  • The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) approved the use of aeronautical communications from space, marking a historic milestone.
  • Startical will launch a test satellite in 2025, using NanoAvionics' MP42 microsatellite bus, to evaluate VHF radio and ADS-B surveillance systems.
  • The mission aims to test integrated space communication and surveillance services for oceanic and remote air traffic control.
  • Startical plans to deploy a constellation of over 200 satellites, incorporating AI and inter-satellite links for advanced air traffic management.
  • NanoAvionics will provide satellite technology and mission services, supporting Startical's goal to become a global leader in space-based air traffic management.
