Tiny difference - huge impact

The need for Electronically-Steered Antennas (ESAs) is growing and evolving, mainly thanks to the low-power designs possible today and to the raising of new LEO constellations. AUGUSTA SPACE combines satcom technical knowledge and market expertise into a unique blend of advantages. Its antenna offers end customers and satcom operators a new high-performance type of satellite connectivity:

The AUGUSTA SPACE antenna implements a special RX-TX interlacing that reduces the occupied area to half, without compromising performance, power consumption, and costs.

It can be installed as a fixed terminal or on any type of moving platform (land mobile, maritime, aeronautical) and it can flexibly operate with different satellite providers to always have the best service. The antenna has a modular design and can be configured to be multi-beam, multi-frequency, and multi-orbit.

Join us and become part of the AUGUSTA SPACE vision, to profit from the smallest antenna on the market with an exclusive configuration flexibility. Benefit from an unbeatable cost-performance ratio and from the energy of a motivated, international start-up!

Why yet another antenna?

The satcom terminals have seen an impressive evolution in the last few years (2020-2025), with the adoption of Electronically-Steered Antennas (i.e. full-electronic, phased-array solutions).

However, we are not yet, where customers want to be: The final dream is still a truly universal terminal, capable to connect to all existing satellite networks and designed to be installed on any moving vehicle (from small drones to big ships).

The experience that the AUGUSTA SPACE team members gathered through the last years allowed them to conceive this new antenna, a completely new concept, a new step towards the goal of an agnostic, universal terminal.

About us

The AUGUSTA SPACE team is made of professionals coming from the satcom and avionic worlds with a cumulated professional experience of multiple decades.

  • Matteo has been doing innovative research and strategic business for 20+ years on various aspects of satellite communications, first at the at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and then at Safran Passenger Innovations. He has worked as broadband satcom expert for the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and has been involved in various startups and innovative technology companies. After writing more than 100 journal, conference papers, and patent applications, he decided to build something with Augusta Space.

Founder & CEO

  • Michael is a world expert in the SATCOM market with 25 years of experience as an executive in leading satellite communication ventures. Michael is working closely with Tier-1 SATCOM and In-Flight-Connectivity (IFC) service providers and integrators to shape the future of satellite connectivity in commercial and business aviation. For many years, he served in leading management positions at Gilat Satellite Networks. In his last position he headed the Mobility Division and was part of the Gilat management team.

  • With 30+ years in aeronautical satellite communications, Matthias has built antennas, modelled satellite channels, and brought mobile telephony to the skies. Co-founding today’s Safran Passenger Innovations Germany GmbH over 20 years ago, he now focuses on mentoring tech startups—turning bold ideas into game-changing innovations.

  • Axel has over 30 years of experience in defence, satellite, and aeronautical communications. He has held senior management roles in major international corporations, co‑founded several technology companies, and advised organizations ranging from innovative start‑ups to global enterprises on M&A, product strategy, and emerging technologies.

  • With a past in key strategic roles at Lufthansa and Safran, Peter is one of the world pioneers in the history of IFC. For many years he has advised companies ranging from small innovative start-ups to large corporations on IFC and Satcom marketing, M&A, product strategy and new technologies.

  • Markus has more than 30 years of experience in satellite and aeronautical communications, spending a substantial part of his business life on various satellite orbits. Physically, he has always stayed and moved in the atmospheric earth orbits, in the air and on ground, where he also co-founded several technology companies.
