Fleet Space Technologies

Overview Fleet Space Technologies is an Australian space company that designs, builds, and operates low‑Earth‑orbit (LEO) satellites and space‑enabled sensing systems for resource exploration, environmental monitoring, and defense communications. Founded in 2015, the company is headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, and in 2025 opened a new global headquarters and manufacturing hub at Adelaide Airport. Fleet has expanded internationally with teams in the United States, Canada, Chile, and Luxembourg. Business Lines and Services • ExoSphere: An integrated exploration platform that combines ground sensors with satellite connectivity, real‑time data fusion, and AI‑driven uncertainty modelling to generate rapid 3D subsurface models. ExoSphere uses passive Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) to reduce time, cost, and environmental impact in mineral exploration. • Space‑enabled communications: Fleet operates a growing LEO nanosatellite constellation that provides low‑power connectivity for industrial applications and supports mission‑specific services such as tactical Push‑to‑Talk (PTT) voice communications for defense users. • Research & Advanced Programs: Fleet is developing SPIDER, a lunar variant of its exploration technology, for use on the Moon in the mid‑2020s. Spacecraft and Network • Centauri constellation: Fleet’s nanosatellites provide global links for ExoSphere and other services. In April 2024 the company launched the next‑generation Centauri‑6 with ion electric propulsion and 3D‑printed components, including a metal patch antenna design proven on earlier spacecraft. In early 2024 a software upgrade enabled one of the Centauri satellites to demonstrate PTT voice capability from orbit. • Operations: The constellation and ground segment are built to support rapid tasking and high‑rate data return for enterprise deployments across multiple continents. Markets and Customers • Resources: ExoSphere is used by major mining companies for district‑scale targeting and deposit characterization, providing decision‑ready 3D models in days. • Government and Defense: Fleet supports satellite‑enabled field communications, sensing, and rapid geophysical mapping for sovereign and allied customers. • Enterprise and Research: Additional applications include environmental monitoring and technology demonstrations in partnership with industry and academia. Facilities and Footprint Fleet’s global footprint includes its Adelaide Airport headquarters and manufacturing hub (with capacity for large‑scale sensor and satellite production), engineering and operations in South Australia, and regional offices that support customer delivery in North America, South America, and Europe. Financing Fleet has raised significant growth capital to scale ExoSphere and expand its satellite network, including an oversubscribed Series C in 2023 and a Series D in 2024 that increased the company’s valuation and supported international expansion. Outlook Fleet Space is scaling multi‑continent deployments of ExoSphere while expanding its satellite constellation and advanced programs. Near‑term priorities include increasing manufacturing throughput at the Adelaide Airport site, adding gateways and satellite capacity for global service levels, executing defense communications demonstrations, and preparing SPIDER for lunar exploration missions.
