During H121 Mynaric continued to broaden its customer base and expand capacity. This is in readiness to supply the requirements of the US Space Development Agency (SDA) and others as they roll out networks of hundreds of small, cost-effective satellites at speed.

Mynaric has developed optical inter-satellite link (OISL) terminals for transmitting data via laser between moving space or airborne platforms at rates similar to conventional optical fibre, but with the light transmitted through free space rather than along a cable. Recent newsflow demonstrates that not only are government and commercial entities planning satellite constellations deploying optical communications links, but also that Mynaric is being selected as a supplier of laser communication
The US Space Development Agency (SDA) is investing in a new network of reconnaissance satellites. This will potentially have hundreds of relatively inexpensive LEO satellites, each deploying optical communications links. Mynaric has already won a contract to supply optical communications links for the first phase of this project. Its focus on design for manufacture in volume and investment in capacity, as demonstrated by the recent opening of a new production hall near Munich, places it in a goo
In FY20 Mynaric was selected to provide laser communications terminals for two separate US government constellations. This is clear evidence that satellite networks are beginning to deploy optical inter-satellite links and that Mynaric is seen as having the technical expertise and production capacity to deliver terminals in relatively high volumes. This puts Mynaric in a good position to take market share as demand for terminals starts to grow.
Mynaric’s free space optical communications terminals are beginning to come off the production line just as government agencies and commercial operators are commissioning high-speed communications networks based on constellations of satellites. In the last quarter, the company has announced contracts to supply multiple terminals for deployment on pathfinder missions for two US government programmes: one with DARPA and the other, we have inferred, with the Space Development Agency (SDA).
Mynaric has developed equipment for transmitting data via laser between moving airborne or space platforms at rates similar to conventional optical fibre but with the light transmitted through free space rather than along a cable. Recent newsflow demonstrates that not only are government and commercial entities planning satellite constellations deploying optical communications links, but also that Mynaric is being selected as a supplier of laser communications terminals for these constellations.
Recent newsflow demonstrates that not only are government and commercial entities planning satellite constellations deploying optical communications links but also that Mynaric is being selected as a supplier of laser communications terminals for these constellations. Given Mynaric’s focus on the creation of terminals that can be manufactured and deployed in relatively high volumes, this puts it in a good position to take market share as demand for terminals starts to grow.
Mynaric’s manufacturing facility has started to produce communications terminals which can transmit data via laser between moving airborne or space platforms at rates similar to conventional optical fibre, but with the light transmitted through free space rather than along a cable. It aims to be the first company to offer laser communications terminals in the volumes and at the price point required by communications systems such as those being developed by Amazon, Telesat and SpaceX.
Mynaric has developed equipment for transmitting data via laser between moving airborne or space platforms at rates similar to conventional optical fibre, but with the light transmitted through free space rather than along a cable. This opens the possibility of equipping the airborne networks proposed by Facebook and Google, or the satellite networks supported by Elon Musk and Richard Branson with high-speed optical data links rather than slower microwave connections. These proposed networks off
