Tiny difference - huge impact

The need for Electronically-Steered Antennas (ESAs) in aviation is growing and evolving. Novel designs can open up new possibilities in terms of performance, cost and application. AUGUSTA SPACE combines satcom technical knowledge and aviation market expertise into a unique blend of advantages. Its antenna offers airlines and business jet operators a new high-performance type of in-flight connectivity:

The AUGUSTA SPACE antenna can be installed on any type of airplane and flexibly operate with different satellite providers to always have the best service.


Join us and become part of the AUGUSTA SPACE vision, to profit from the first exclusive and smallest multi-beam, multi-frequency, and multi-orbit antenna on the market. Benefit from an unbeatable cost-performance ratio and from the energy of a motivated, international start-up!

Why yet another antenna?

The satcom terminals in the civil aviation have seen an impressive evolution in the last few years (2020-2024), with the adoption of Electronically-Steered Antennas (i.e. full-electronic, phased-array solutions).

However, we are not yet, where customers want to be: The final dream is still a truly universal terminal, capable to connect to all existing satellite networks and designed to be installed on any airplane (from small jets to big airliners).

The experience that the AUGUSTA SPACE team members gathered through the last years allowed them to conceive this new antenna, a completely new concept, a new step towards the goal of an agnostic, universal terminal.

About us

The AUGUSTA SPACE team is made of professionals coming from the satcom and avionic worlds with a cumulated professional experience of multiple decades.

  • Matteo has been doing innovative research and strategic business for 20+ years on various aspects of satellite communications, first at the at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and then at Safran Passenger Innovations. He has worked as broadband satcom expert for the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and has been involved in various startups and innovative technology companies. After writing more than 100 journal, conference papers, and patent applications, he decided to build something with Augusta Space.

Founder & CEO

  • With 30+ years in aeronautical satellite communications, Matthias has built antennas, modelled satellite channels, and brought mobile telephony to the skies. Co-founding today’s Safran Passenger Innovations Germany GmbH over 20 years ago, he now focuses on mentoring tech startups—turning bold ideas into game-changing innovations.

  • With a past in key strategic roles at Lufthansa and Safran, Peter is one of the world pioneers in the history of IFC. For many years he has advised companies ranging from small innovative start-ups to large corporations on IFC and Satcom marketing, M&A, product strategy and new technologies.

  • Markus has more than 30 years of experience in satellite and aeronautical communications, spending a substantial part of his business life on various satellite orbits. Physically, he has always stayed and moved in the atmospheric earth orbits, in the air and on ground, where he also co-founded several technology companies.

  • Michael is a world expert in the SATCOM market with 25 years of experience as an executive in leading satellite communication ventures. Michael is working closely with Tier-1 SATCOM and In-Flight-Connectivity (IFC) service providers and integrators to shape the future of satellite connectivity in commercial and business aviation. For many years, he served in leading management positions at Gilat Satellite Networks. In his last position he headed the Mobility Division and was part of the Gilat management team.
