Constellations

ENGINEERED TO SURROUND YOUR AMBITIONS

Experience the seamless integration of the Hawk platform's reliability and cutting-edge technology into our constellation of satellites that are revolutionizing telecommunications, remote sensing, navigation and scientific research on Earth, the Moon and beyond.

MARS COMM NAV

Farther and farther

Argotec is targeting Mars for its next cutting-edge constellation. Mars Comm Nav aims to transform Mars exploration with an advanced communication and navigation infrastructure.

Mars Comm Nav is Argotec’s constellation designed to create the conditions for advanced exploration of the Red Planet.

Until now, only highly advanced rovers have visited Mars for scientific missions. However, very soon, not only will these missions multiply, but commercial missions will also set foot on Mars, paving the way for humanity's first woman and man on the Red Planet.
We know today that telecommunications are a crucial factor in increasing the number of missions and ensuring their success.
Just like Andromeda on the Moon, it’s the infrastructure that creates these conditions.
Mars Comm Nav is the Martian infrastructure that Argotec has envisioned to enable effective communication between Earth and Mars.

The constellation

consists of 18 satellites in a Walker-like configuration in six orbital planes, with three nominal satellites and one spare per plane, for a total of 24 satellites.

Communication bands include S-band and K-band for Mars users, and Ka-band for communication with the relay satellite and ground stations on Earth.

AVAILABILITY

A relay satellite positioned at the Sun-Mars L1 Lagrangian point provides high data rate transmission to Earth. Finally, pseudolites on Mars provide clock updates and navigation synchronization, enhancing the accuracy of the constellation.

With Mars Comm Nav, Argotec is paving the way for a new era of Mars exploration. Most importantly, it creates the conditions to make Mars not just a distant dream, but an achievable goal.
