OverviewAbout Odysseus Space

Odysseus Space builds laser communication systems that move large volumes of data from satellites to the ground. Its Cyclops terminal and its network of optical ground stations are offered as a service, so satellite operators can retrieve data at rates radio links cannot reach. Founded in 2019 and established at Technoport in Luxembourg, the company also works on defence programmes funded by the European Defence Fund.
