Designing satellites for ultra-low Earth orbit at 180–250 km altitude to enable higher-resolution imaging and connectivi
NewOrbit Space is a British satellite manufacturer founded in 2021 and headquartered in Reading, UK, that engineers satellites for ultra-low Earth orbit (ULEO) at altitudes of 180 to 250 kilometres—roughly one-third the height of conventional LEO satellites. The company targets applications in Earth observation, telecommunications, and weather forecasting, and is developing its NEO-1 spacecraft. NewOrbit has raised approximately $7.5 million in seed funding and holds contracts with ESA and Germany's SPRIND agency.
