World Space Week 2024, “Leading Innovation in Space” Award Statement
We warmly congratulate highlighted innovative companies within the space sector – including GHGSat (Canada), 4Earth Intelligence (UK), SkyFi (USA), Airbus (France), Maxar Technologies (USA), Solaren (USA), SkyPower (USA), Mitsubishi Electric (Japan), Envision Solar (USA), Rocket Lab (USA), D-Orbit (Italy), CisLunar Industries (USA), Exolaunch (Germany), SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation (Japan), NorthStar Earth & Space (Canada), Hydrosat (USA), Descartes Labs (USA), BlackSky (USA), SatSure (Switzerland), Planetary Technologies (Canada), SpaceX (USA), Prometheus Fuels (USA), ICEYE (Finland), Global Thermostat (USA). – who are actively contributing into leveraging space technology to address environmental challenges, shortlisted in this campaign by the World Space Week Association.
It is to proudly announce that Sirin Orbital Systems AG has generated a creative technical solution for protecting fauna from being exposed to RF Wireless Power transfer (WPT) beams. This novel concept – subject to a patent – guarantees the continuos operation of WPT links (i.e. no need to shutdown the wireless power links), and at the same time protects birds, insects, etc. from being exposed to high-power electromagnetic radiations.
This innovation revolutionizes the WPT application areas and shortens time-to-market for WPT products, as it enables safe and reliable high-power wireless power beaming for different short- to long-range terrestrial uses and also for space-to-ground applications in the context of Space-based Solar Power (SBSP), where wildlife in the vicinity of rectenna sites is of an utmost concern.
Our safe and reliable WPT technological concepts will fundamentally change the way and where we generate Clean Energy, manage and distribute it to end-users.
Sirin Orbital Systems AG is honoured to become a Corporate Partner of Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), and a member of Space Specialist Group (Space SG) at RAeS. The Royal Aeronautical Society, also known as the RAeS, is a British multi-disciplinary professional institution dedicated to the global aerospace community. Founded in 1866, it is the oldest aeronautical society in the world.
Sirin Orbital Systems AG, through this partnership, will benefit from unique networking opportunities provided by RAeS across industry, academia and government and also its promotion across the global aerospace and aviation community.
Sirin Orbital Systems AG was featured on Research and Markets ‘s June 2024 expert market report on Energy Future Opportunities and Leader Index 2024-2035, together with major stakeholders including Airbus, Northrop Grumman, Solaren, Solestial, Space Solar, Thales Alenia Space and Virtus Solis .
Research and Markets is the world’s largest market research store with clients from all over the world, founded in 2002 with the aim to connect businesses with the market insights and analysis they need to enable intelligent decision-making.
Thanks to five years of intense R&D on high-efficiency Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems, in summer 2024, Sirin Orbital Systems AG launched the first phase of target product development based on its low- to mid-range power (<W to W)WPT technologies. The intended products and their commercializations rely on direct customer orders and external/internal investments. SIRIN envisages three phases of WPT-tech development depending on the application areas, power- and range-level requirements of clients.
Sirin Orbital Systems AG’s WPT-tech were initially designed for European Space Agency (ESA) space missions, which are now mature to be implemented as breakthrough concepts for diverse terrestrial applications, enabling battery-free electronic devices and unlocking restrictions imposed by wires and battery life-time.
Sirin Orbital Systems AG is filing 5 (five) new patent applications in Summer 2024 to fully protect its innovative chemical micropropulsion technology which utilizes water and metal-powder as propellants. These patents are each addressing a critical detail of the technology, which is matured at TRL4 in July 2024 and is aiming to achieve TRL6 by 2025-2026 with the support of the Swiss Space Office (SSO) and the European Space Agency (ESA)’s General Support Technology Programme (GSTP).
