News Summary:
On August 4, 2026, Orbital Research announced its plans to attend the Small Satellite Conference 2026 in Salt Lake City from August 23-26, where it will showcase its RF and frequency conversion solutions for CubeSats, small satellites, and next-generation space missions at Booth #24. Previously, on June 11, 2026, the company announced its attendance at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris from June 15-19, intending to discuss its RF and frequency conversion solutions for defense SATCOM, tactical communications, and space-based missions with global defense and security leaders. On May 22, 2026, Orbital Research confirmed its participation in the Space Business Expo 2026 in Tokyo to engage with the global space community on commercial space, satellite infrastructure, Earth observation, and orbital systems. Earlier that same day, Orbital Research revealed plans to attend SmallSat Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, where it would discuss LEO missions, payload technologies, ground infrastructure, and next-generation space systems, highlighting its RF and frequency conversion solutions for modern SATCOM and Earth observation missions. This follows an announcement on May 19, 2026, that Orbital Research received support from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to advance its next-generation space-rated RF converter technologies. CSA-supported development over several years enabled Orbital Research to design, fabricate, and validate flight-representative Ka-band and X-band Up/Down Converter (UDC) subsystem prototypes for CubeSat and small satellite platforms, strengthening Canada’s domestic capability in advanced space electronics and resilient communications systems.
