SIGI: A First-of-its-Kind Satellite Mission

SIGI was a first of its kind mission for Reflex Aerospace and this is the mission patch to commemorate the mission

Our partnership with MBS sent advanced technology into orbit

When Media Broadcast Satellite (MBS) set out to launch their first payload to space, procuring a satellite to meet their unique performance needs within a tight timeline proved to be a sizable challenge.

Reflex answered the call.

We developed a custom satellite solution to deliver MBS’s cutting-edge technology to space. This represents a validation of our mission and a roadmap for future missions.
