Satellites are generating more data than we can get back to Earth.
Today, we can share that Exobotics has been awarded £2.1m to help change that - developing the first satellites in a planned optical data-relay network.
With @Archangelworks and @UniofNottingham, STARS will demonstrate moving data from orbit at speeds radios simply cannot match.
Huge thanks to our partners, and to the @spacegovuk and @esa for backing the project.
