Skynopy, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Paris, France, is a space technology company specialising in satellite connectivity and ground segment services. It provides satellite operators with streamlined access to a global network of ground stations, supported by software designed to simplify antenna scheduling, data transfer and mission operations. Its infrastructure-as-a-service approach enables high-capacity satellite communications without customers having to deploy dedicated ground infrastructure. By combining shared antenna assets, cloud-based operations and scalable network management, Skynopy helps improve data downlink performance and operational efficiency. The company serves Earth observation and other satellite missions internationally, supporting the growing NewSpace ecosystem.
U-Space selects Skynopy to provide ground station connectivity for two low Earth orbit satellites, combining operational communications support with future X-band development.
With Safran Space and French FASEP support, the project integrates a Kenyan Earth observation antenna into a commercial ground station network to optimize capacity use.
