Fleet Satellite Constellation

Pioneering satellite-enabled solutions globally

It all started with an idea – which became Australia’s first Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.

Our Expanding Satellite Constellation

Fleet Space’s satellite network – the bedrock of our innovative solutions – is transforming space exploration, defence, and mineral discovery. From powering our end-to-end real-time exploration technology, Exosphere, to delivering ultra-efficient connectivity, our satellites unlock new capabilities worldwide.

Satellites

A Historical Moment

Proxima 1 | 2

In 2018, Fleet Space launched its first two satellites - Proxima 1 and Proxima 2 - aboard Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket, marking Australia’s first commercial nanosatellites in orbit.

Centauri 1 | 2

Shortly after in 2018, Fleet Space launched a pair of 3U nanosatellites called Centauri 1 and Centauri 2 aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 SSO–A mission from the Vandenberg Air Force base in California.

Introducing Centauri Satellites

Centauri 3

In 2021, Fleet Space launched its fifth nanosatellite, Centauri 3, on Rocket Lab’s ‘They Go Up So Fast’ mission. Centauri 3 leveraged a next-gen payload design, enhancing data capacity and throughput.

Centauri 4

Later in 2021, Centauri 4, Fleet Space’s sixth commercial satellite was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral. Centauri 4’s design enhanced radiation mitigation, comms links to Fleet’s Ground station, and extended S-band range. C-4 became the world's smallest voice-enabled satellite in March 2024.

Centauri 5 | 6

In 2022, Fleet Space’s Centauri 5 satellite was launched, bringing advanced beam forming technology, more data capacity, and the world’s first 3D printed patch antennas. Then came Centauri 6, launched on SpaceX's Bandwagon-1 mission - delivering greater uplink capacity and more resilient data transfer to help service global demand for Fleet Space's end-to-end mineral exploration solution, ExoSphere.

Pioneering New Techniques for Satellite Manufacturing

We utilise advanced manufacturing techniques and 3D printing to streamline prototyping and production of our growing satellite constellation. Fleet Space’s next-gen Centauri satellites, built with 3D printed parts, demonstrate an efficient and scalable roadmap for future satellite manufacturing.
