Fleet Space Technologies
About
World’s most advanced low-power satellite network
Fleet Space has designed, built and launched Australia’s only commercial NanoSatellites. With six satellites already in orbit and the next iteration launching in 2022, Fleet Space is building a constellation of 140 small satellites in Low Earth Orbit. Fleet Space is the global leader in NanoSatellite Digital Beamforming for Low Power Wide Area Networks.
The company has produced the world’s first 3D printed all-metal patch antenna, gaining 10X more throughput per kilo of spacecraft. Combined, these new technologies provide unrivalled planet-wide, 2-way connectivity for the industrial internet of things.

Snapshot of Fleet Space Technologies
Mining the Future with Space Tech
Fleet Space is reshaping mineral exploration from orbit.
Founded in 2018 by ex-European Space Agency engineer Flavia Tata Nardini and aerospace entrepreneur Matt Pearson, Fleet Space began as an IoT startup before pivoting to space-powered exploration.
Its flagship platform, ExoSphere, combines LEO satellites, seismic sensors, and AI to generate fast, non-invasive 3D subsurface imaging, accelerating the search for critical minerals essential to the energy transition.
Why Work at Fleet Space
Deep tech, real-world impact Fleet is helping decarbonise the planet by transforming how we find lithium and rare earths, replacing invasive drilling with space-enabled imaging.
Built for scale Now used by 40+ mining companies across five continents, ExoSphere is powering exploration in Australia, the U.S., Chile, Canada, and beyond.
Eyes on the stars Fleet is developing off-world gravity sensors for lunar and Martian missions, blending earthbound mining with the future of space exploration.
