iDEX Prime X Challenge Winners
Nov 20, 2024
They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but in the space industry, it's all about the thruster burns and docking turns!
We’re thrilled to announce that InspeCity has won two prestigious iDEX - DIO Prime X Challenges by the Defence Space Agency – a monumental moment for us:
Space-grade Robotic Arm with Ground-Control for Orbital Transfer Vehicles : Well, because handling satellites in space is wayyyy cooler than handling cutlery on Earth.
Intelligent Object Identification System with LIDAR and EO sensors - think Sherlock Holmes, but in space and with lasers.
These wins validate our thesis, our relentless work, and the tenacity of our brilliant team! Winning challenges for ALL our core technologies at such an early stage is no small feat - it’s a clear signal that we're ready to extend satellite life and bring cutting-edge innovations into orbit.
This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the support of:
Our mentors who always push us to aim higher.
The Defence Space Agency for trusting a young team to build critical tech for the nation.
The customers and partners who believed in our vision.
And of course, our amazing team who make the impossible seem routine every single day!
We’re excited about the road ahead, and with these iDEX victories, the journey to full-scale deployment of these technologies for satellite life extension is well underway.
As for our robotic arm and RPO stack, Well!, they’re all geared up to make space more serviceable, sustainable, and, dare we say, stylish (You'll know what we mean when you see it) :p
Here’s to dreaming big and building bigger! 🎉
