PExT Breaks Space Comms Barriers

NASA’s PExT satellite just completed its mission to revolutionize space communications—acting like a universal translator that lets different satellite networks talk seamlessly. Launched in July 2025, it proved wideband tech can switch between government and commercial relays using Ka-band, successfully sending data via NASA, Viasat, and SES. Now in extended testing, it’s connecting directly to Earth via SSC’s global stations—including a key stop in Germany—and partnering with Aalyria to test Spacetime software for smarter, unified mission comms. Future space missions could finally ditch single-network dependence for flexible, reliable, and scalable connectivity.
