The Problem We’re Solving
Space is still custom built – Most satellites today are expensive, bespoke systems designed from scratch for each mission. This traditional model is slow, costly, and inaccessible to smaller institutions and startups. TetraCubics reimagines this approach by introducing a philosophy that blends Henry Ford and Steve Jobs: standardised and mass‑producible, yet simple to use through converging technology. Our ‘plug‑and‑play’ CubeSats allow any configuration or size, making space technology accessible, adaptable, and affordable.
Born for Orbit, Built for Earth – Although our core modular tech is based on CubeSats, we have taken our space solutions and applied them here on Earth, for both land and sea. Whether it’s for military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and industrial inspection, our modularity offers it all without needing to redesign the platform from scratch.
One Platform, Forever Evolving – As our innovation churns onwards, previous hardware offered does not become obsolete; it simply needs updating piece by piece. Much like HMS Victory, a ship that had all of its timber gradually replaced to the point where none of the original wood remained, yet it was still the same ship. Our Omnids too remain fundamentally the same, but also slowly upgrade over the years; they never have to be thrown away entirely.
Our Story
Kiruna, Sweden – The three founders met in 2023 in snowy Norrbotten, located within the Arctic Circle. There, they worked on a project initiated by Pavlos a year earlier, aiming to prove that modular satellites were feasible not just in theory, but in practice. These 10 cm-sided CubeSats were developed by a larger team in a laboratory, eventually yielding a set of four satellites that successfully demonstrated the revolutionary idea of applying modular design to space technology.
Milan, Italy – Following the validated results of their modular satellites in lab conditions, members of the team flew to the International Astronautical Congress held in Milan in autumn 2024. There, they presented their findings and published a research paper, both of which were well received.
Helsinki, Finland – Towards the end of the following winter, three project members, with a combined 13 years of experience working on modular designs, decided to commercialise the technology. In early 2025, they founded a company and began building a new generation of cubes: lighter, sturdier, with greater cargo capacity, and fully space-proof. They brought the gift of modularity to market, making harsh terrains more accessible for all, whether in the toughest corners of the Earth, beneath its oceans, or far beyond it in space. Our space solutions are here to change the world, even closer to home.
