Oxford Space Systems Limited

This project addresses a real operational need to reduce the Satellite Communications (SatCom) equipment weight burden on the war fighter and in addition will demonstrate that commercial SatCom can be used effectively to communicate securely, with significantly higher data rates and capacity than is currently possible. Traditional SatCom solutions provide...

Unlike satellite based optical Earth Observation systems that rely on reflected solar radiation or thermal radiation emitted by Earth, imaging radar instruments work independently of light and heat. Radar is an active system that transmits a beam of radiation in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can provi...

To develop rolled composite materials and supporting analytical models in order to predict and characterise material behaviour for space. To achieve flight-ready status for the material for use in a range of commercial satellite deployable systems.

As a spin out of technology developed for structures destined for a life in space, Oxford Space Systems has developed an innovative, jam-resistant slider that can significantly reduce jamming in 'self-synchronized' stowable consumer items such as push-chairs, baby cots, ironing boards, clothes lines, gazebos etc - any product where an element is required ...

Oxford Sapce System's objective is to design, construct and demonstrate an Engineering Model flight concept telescopic boom that meets the technical and commercial requirements of several commercial space sector opportunities identified. The functioning prototype will permit the demonstration of the design's key attributes: footprint efficiency, low mass,...
