CASA Space Technologies is enabling a new class of satellite operations in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) through proprietary drag-reduction coatings. Operating below ~450 km offers major advantages in performance and cost, but is currently limited by atmospheric drag and material degradation. CASA’s technology addresses both challenges, extending mission lifetimes and reducing system requirements for satellite operators. The company is working with partners across communications, Earth observation, and defence to unlock the commercial potential of VLEO while supporting a more sustainable space environment.
