Xona Space Systems
Commercial LEO satellite constellation for high-precision positioning, navigation, and timing.
Xona Space Systems is building Pulsar, a commercial low Earth orbit satellite constellation that delivers centimeter-accurate positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services as an alternative and backup to GPS. The system provides jamming and spoofing resistance critical for defense applications. Xona has one satellite (Pulsar-0) in orbit as of mid-2026, launched June 2025, with 8 additional satellites ordered from Belgian manufacturer Aerospacelab and a first production batch of 6 planned to launch October 2026, en route to a planned 258-satellite constellation. In August 2026 the FCC granted first-of-its-kind authorization to broadcast Pulsar signals from the full planned constellation. Xona was awarded a Space Force STRATFI agreement and operates a manufacturing facility in Burlingame, California (opened April 2026), plus offices in Montreal and London.
