SIGI: A First-of-its-Kind Satellite Mission
Our partnership with MBS sent advanced technology into orbit
When Media Broadcast Satellite (MBS) set out to launch their first payload to space, procuring a satellite to meet their unique performance needs within a tight timeline proved to be a sizable challenge.
Reflex answered the call.
We developed a custom satellite solution to deliver MBS’s cutting-edge technology to space. This represents a validation of our mission and a roadmap for future missions.
High Performance. No Compromises.
