FAISAT™

Final Analysis Incorporated (FAI) is funding the building and operation of the FAISAT™ global constellation to provide wireless data services. The licensed space segment is currently comprised of 26 operational satellites and 4 in-orbit spares. SDL delivered a hardware in-the-loop emulator for the attitude determination and control system and provided instrumentation, fabrication, integration and testing for FAISAT 1 and 2.

The satellites are small, low cost, powerful and robust systems that benefit from the miniaturization and advanced flight processor technology resulting from FAI's innovative R&D program. These satellites have a 7-10 year design life.

Both satellites are currently in orbit.
