Archangel Lightworks
Archangel Lightworks is a laser communications company building high-volume, secure, wireless technology to create the space-enabled networks of the future. Today, space and terrestrial networks are not well-connected leading to insecure, insufficient, and vulnerable infrastructure. Nearly 3 billion people are unconnected and many more are under-connected. Subsea cables, which form the backbone of global network infrastructure, are at risk from climate disaster and bad actors. Links between satellites, which offer an opportunity for resilient connectivity, and the ground are reliant on radio, which is bandwidth constrained, finite and not secure. Archangel Lightworks was set up to solve the space-ground connectivity problem. Wireless laser communications (lasercom) technology offers new solutions; however, adoption of the technology has been slow due to availability concerns, lack of interoperability standards, difficulties associated with lasercom on the move, and high production costs. Our tech solves these problems. We are driving down the size, weight, power & cost (SWaP-C) of optical ground equipment to make space-ground lasercom available and affordable. Our core product, TERRA-M is a miniature optical ground station which is approximately the size of a mini fridge. Compared to traditional networks such as radio, the TERRA-M allows more licence-free data transferred at low probability of detection (LPD) and low probability of interception (LPI). TERRA-M brings deployable, resilient connectivity to wherever it is needed, solving some of Earth’s most critical problems from economic inclusion to climate change. Archangel Lightworks is based in Oxford, UK.

Earth Space Sustainability Initiative
The Earth∞Space Sustainability Initiative brings together industry, academia, governments, international organisations, with the finance and insurance communities to ensure that space continues to support the environmental, economic and scientific interests of current and future generations. To achieve these goals, the Earth∞Space Sustainability Initiative will develop sets of Space Sustainability Principles that will facilitate the establishment of the Space Sustainability Standards. These will be the global, transparent Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) space sustainability standards, recognised by the finance and insurance communities and internationally by policy makers. The award of a Space Sustainability Standard will be a meaningful, world-leading acknowledgement that an individual, company or organisation has met ESSI’s requirements of space sustainability in key strands of the Space Sustainability Principles. In developing these principles through a wide ranging dialogue, ESSI will listen to a diverse set of opinions from across the space sector. It will access commercial, industrial, academic and cultural considerations. In this way, it will endeavour to make sure that its sets of Space Sustainability Principles are based upon common human values.
