Where Mission Concepts Become Operational Reality
Since its first launch in 2022, Plan-S has progressed from initial access to space operating multiple batches of commercial satellite constellations. Through a series of technology demonstration missions, each flight has been used to validate and space-qualify in-house platforms, subsystems, and operational concepts, forming the foundation of today’s Connecta satellite network in Low Earth Orbit.

MISSION HERITAGE AT A GLANCE
Built. Launched. Proven.
A proven chain of launches, platforms, and payloads that new missions can plug into today.
Technology pathfinder missions validating space-based IoT connectivity, SDR experiments, imaging payloads, and inter-satellite link (ISL) capabilities.
Multiple commercial batches of Connecta IoT Network satellites already operating in LEO, each generation building on the last.
End to end ownership of every mission, design, manufacturing, testing, launch support, ground segment, and operations under one roof.

Connecta T-Series: Pathfinders for Operational Success
Connecta T-Series satellites are the technology pathfinders of Plan-S, proving platforms, subsystems, and operations in the only environment that matters: space.
Connecta T1.1
First Touch to Space
Launched in May 2022 on SpaceX’s Transporter-5 mission, Connecta T1.1 marked Plan-S’s first access to space and the start of its journey as a satellite operator. Designed and developed entirely in house, the spacecraft was built, tested, and qualified in under eight months.
Connecta T1.1 focused on IoT connectivity experiments and demonstrations, giving indigenous subsystems their first flight heritage and validating the complete design, development, and test pipeline in orbit.
Connecta T1.2
In-Orbit Waveform Lab
Launched in January 2023 on SpaceX’s Transporter-6 mission, Connecta T1.2 extended Plan-S’s IoT experimentation with a Software-Defined Radio (SDR) payload. Different waveforms can be uploaded to the satellite, turning it into a flexible in-orbit laboratory for IoT connectivity research.
The mission also carried a deployable selfie camera, capturing a distinctive video of Earth in the background and demonstrating the team’s ability to integrate and operate innovative payload concepts in orbit.
Connecta T2.1
Compact High Resolution Imaging
Launched in April 2023 on SpaceX’s Transporter-7 mission, Connecta T2.1 is Plan-S’s first high resolution imaging satellite. Developed on an accelerated schedule, it integrates multiple Plan-S built subsystems and a complex payload suite into a very compact form factor.
T2.1 showcases Plan-S’s ability to design, build, and operate sophisticated small satellites that combine imaging and communications capabilities on a single platform.
Connecta T3.1 & T3.2
Twin ISL Demonstrators
Launched in November 2023 on SpaceX’s Transporter-9 mission, the twin satellites Connecta T3.1 and Connecta T3.2 are dedicated to inter-satellite link (ISL) technology development, testing, and demonstration, enhancing in space connectivity and overall network resilience.
For these missions, almost all satellite bus components were produced by Plan-S, underscoring a high degree of vertical integration and in house manufacturing capability.

Connecta IoT Network: Global IoT Connectivity Beyond Terrestrial Limits
Building on the Connecta T-series heritage, Plan-S has transitioned from pure technology demonstration to full commercial service. Commercial satellite operations were initiated with Connecta IoT Network satellites launched for operational IoT services, expanding coverage and enabling real deployments on the ground.
Each new batch of Connecta IoT Network satellites takes a step forward in capability while reusing and refining the flight-proven building blocks from previous missions.

From Heritage to Your Next Mission
For Plan-S, mission heritage is more than a launch record, it is a repeatable path from concept to orbit, where each in-house satellite strengthens the platform and accelerates new missions.
