Space.
Making satellites smarter and more secure for a sustainable future in space.
Ingenious engineering
We design and implement new space technologies to improve everyday life.
Our mission-proven experience and diverse team of out-of-box thinkers enable us to solve next-generation problems through state-of-the-art engineering.
Mission architecture
Our highly-skilled team of space systems engineers specialises in small satellite missions. Our experience covers the full project lifecycle, from blue sky service definition through in-orbit commissioning and successful mission operations. Currently leading the OPS-SAT VOLT mission supported by ESA and the UKSA, we have delivered a range of systems engineering work to both governmental and commercial organisations.

Products
All productsOn-board AI
Artificial intelligence is the next step in satellite data analysis capabilities and on-board autonomy. Craft Prospect’s AI solutions transfer in-orbit decision-making processes from the ground to space, resulting in faster, more cost-effective mission activities and accelerated ROI for commercial space ventures.
Quantum technologies
Quantum technology is the forefront of computing and cybersecurity advancement. Quantum key distribution (QKD), the most secure form of communication currently available, is becoming increasingly indispensable in daily applications. At Craft, we’ve developed a complete solution for delivering quantum secure keys, helping to make Smart Secure Space an accessible reality across the globe.
