Our mission
At Vyoma, we prioritise efficiency and resilience in space operations for our clients: satellite operators and intelligence officers. We understand their pain points because we operate satellites ourselves.
With a passionate team of experts, rigorous research, and a lean NewSpace approach, we provide reliable and agile space solutions.
Our cause
We are dedicated to creating a sustainable space environment for current and future generations. Our part in this is making sure that collisions are avoided, and the growth of such fragments is mitigated. We, furthermore, actively support any efforts for active debris removal.
Our mission is not only to ensure a healthy growth of the space ecosystem but also to leave a legacy of responsible space stewardship, for the benefit of all humankind.
