Satellite powered Bluetooth network of “Hubble Network” which is a Seattle Based Company, has been given another major update. The Seattle-based company wants to deliver same services to corporations that Apple’s Find My has given to its users. The startup has created a powerful new phased-array receiver which will allow what Hubble CEO Alex Haro describes as a “true Bluetooth layer around the Earth.”
Two new massive “MuSat XL” satellites of Muon Space, which are set to launch in 2027, will carry an improved payload. As stated by Hubble, the first two MuSat XL spacecraft will be equipped with a 12-hour global revisit time as well as discover Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals utilizing 30 times less energy than their present capabilities. If those figures hold true, it might significantly increase the battery life of tracking tags and sensors on Earth.
These two satellites will serve as the foundation for Hubble’s BLE Finding Network, which will benefit corporations in industries including as logistics, infrastructure, and defense. In 2024, Hubble made history as the first corporation to make a direct Bluetooth connection to a satellite. The startup’s pitch is compelling: instead of purchasing specialist hardware, customers will simply need to combine their devices’ chipsets with a piece of code to connect to the Hubble network.
According to Hubble, the space-based network has enormous benefits: it can provide vision throughout the world, especially in distant locations, and it provides a developer-friendly approach for businesses to track assets without having to create any additional infrastructure. The business currently has seven spacecraft in orbit, with the goal of having 60 satellites operational by 2028. The long-term goal is to upgrade the entire constellation to larger platform buses due to their increased power and performance, according to Haro.
It’s a demanding schedule, but Haro explained that one of the reasons Hubble opted to collaborate with Muon was the latter’s capacity to swiftly scale manufacturing to meet this target, while being a young company. (A recent investment round of $146 million could be beneficial.) The president of Muon Space, Gregory Smirin, told TechCrunch that the San Jose production facility of the company is being broadened in order to allow the manufacturing of over 500 spacecraft annually by 2027.
Hubble is the first customer for Muon’s 500 kilogram-class MuSat XL satellite platform, which can deliver multi-kilowatt power to payloads, optical crosslinks, high-volume downlinks, and “near real-time” communications for time-sensitive missions. The cooperation also indicates a stronger drive by the corporation to compete for more lucrative contracts with the Department of Defense.
The XL platform “is a perfect size and capability for SDA Tranche missions,” Smirin added, referring to the Space Development Agency’s effort to establish a missile defense network in low Earth orbit. “XL reflects both the evolution of our technical stack and our growing role in delivering the kind of multi-mission spacecraft that programs like SDA increasingly rely on.”
Muon’s business model can be described as space-as-a-service. The company creates, constructs, and manages satellites with a vertically integrated stack of hardware and software. The Halo stack is designed to provide space access for firms with intriguing payloads but no interest in developing the underlying satellite architecture. In practice, this means Hubble can concentrate on expanding the BLE network while Muon manages the satellite platforms and mission operations.
