\"Antaris<\/p>\n

Antaris<\/strong>, a global AI for Space company, and SARsatX<\/strong>, a Saudi-based space-tech company, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to advance the development, realisation, and delivery of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical Earth Observation satellite constellation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Antaris\u2019 local partner, Saudi Excellence, a Riyadh-based technology company and subsidiary of Al-Ramez International Group, was instrumental in facilitating the relationship and project.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, SARsatX, which is developing an advanced, proprietary Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload, and Antaris, which provides state-of-the-art AI-driven satellite and ground segment platforms\u2014including its TrueTwin\u2122 digital twin and Full Mission Virtualization\u2122 capabilities\u2014will work together to deliver the reliable and timely deployment of an initial 16 SAR and optical satellite constellation to meet the national development objectives of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The partnership is also expected to enable increased localisation of space products and services, as well as the development of in-country technical expertise and human capital for managing and operating complex multi-satellite constellations. The partnership also aims to advance in-country satellite manufacturing, assembly, integration, & testing.<\/p>\n

Tom Barton<\/strong>, CEO and Co-Founder of Antaris<\/strong>, said, \u201cPartnering with SARsatX on this constellation demonstrates how the Antaris Intelligence\u2122 Platform can accelerate time to actionable intelligence by supporting customers as they expand their manufacturing and operational capabilities. Our vision at Antaris is to make space missions faster, simpler, and more cost-effective.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amru Alamoudi<\/strong>, CEO and Co-Founder of SARsatX<\/strong>, added, \u201cSARsatX is committed to building national capability in satellite technology. Partnering with Antaris allows us to accelerate our roadmap, develop local talent, and demonstrate early success, while laying the foundation for future manufacturing in Saudi Arabia, in line with our broader plan to establish and deploy multi-modal capabilities in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership demonstrates the ability of the Antaris Intelligence\u2122 Platform to significantly reduce the time-to-orbit and time-to-insight,\u201d said Karthik Govindhasamy<\/strong>, CTO and Co-Founder of Antaris<\/strong>. \u201cBy modelling the entire space and ground segment within Antaris Intelligence\u2122, SARsatX can de-risk the program, reduce costs, and accelerate the delivery of actionable insights to customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
