Aerospacelab to supply eight more satellites for Xona

Aerospacelab has announced it has been selected by Xona Space Systems to produce eight additional satellites for Pulsar, the next-era navigation constellation bringing precision, power, and protection to devices everywhere from Low Earth Orbit. Aerospacelab will serve as Xona’s transition manufacturing partner for initial Pulsar deployment, supplying flight-proven satellite platforms and systems’ integration expertise while Xona develops in-house production capabilities in California. 

The expanded order follows the success of Pulsar-0, which demonstrated a rapid speed to orbit and validated Xona’s LEO-based approach to high-performance Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT). With launches beginning in late 2026, Aerospacelab’s Versatile Satellite Platforms (VSP) and integration services will accelerate early deployment, enabling Pulsar to offer commercial services to Xona’s earliest customers in the distributed timing and connected devices markets. 

Building on the momentum of a successful collaboration, this expanded partnership strengthens the future of global navigation and reinforces Aerospacelab’s role as a flexible, high-throughput supplier to constellation operators.
