Natilus is proud to announce our key role in a recent milestone in space technology—the successful establishment of an optical communication link between ESA's IZN-1 ground station and the ALISIO-1 satellite. This achievement, captured in a video from the Drago-2 satellite, showcases the precision required for such advanced communication.

Our expertise in precise orbit determination was crucial to this success. Accurate orbit determination ensures the perfect alignment of satellite and ground station, enabling the precise transmission of data.

We take the chance to thank Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), Open Cosmos and the ESA Operations, Engineering & Space Safety team, in particular Nick Champion and Ruaraidh Mackenzie.

Kudos to everyone involved for pushing the boundaries of what's possible in space technology! 🎉🛰️
