Spirit
[ EEL ]
Mission Overview
Launching June 2026
Spirit-EEL is a demonstration satellite constellation for Basalt's satellite operations workflow, designed and built in San Francisco, California. The mission will be the first space mission by a private company to fly without dedicated human operators, which accounts for 90% of the cost of conventional space systems.
Capabilities
Basalt's Spirit-EEL represents a fundamental shift in satellite design, from hardware-centric to software-defined. Basalt's software systems allow for the seamless integration of autonomous satellites into complex business environments. As business needs change, Basalt's software-defined satellites are able to adapt their functionality, just like a computer.
