This initiative is underpinned by funding from the UK Space Agency, designed to foster cutting-edge collaboration among UK space technology companies and propel innovation in onboard digital payloads.

At the core of this program is Ramon.Space's advanced onboard processor, the NuComm - redefining the future of satellite communications. Part of the NuComm product line, these advanced processors are engineered to support expansive communication constellations, delivering unmatched high-capacity, low-power and cost-efficient programmable digital communication solutions. With the ability to be updated and reconfigured while in orbit, NuComm sets a new benchmark for operational efficiency, resilience and sustainability in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, significantly accelerating time-to-market and extending the lifecycle of space assets.
