MuSat XL (Satellite System)

History

2025: System Launch

In August 2025, Muon Space announced a new satellite platform, MuSat XL, designed to create the world's first global Bluetooth network through spacecraft in low Earth orbit. The technology will allow any Bluetooth Low Energy enabled device to connect to a satellite network to transmit data anywhere on the planet without using traditional ground infrastructure. The first customer of the platform was the Seattle-based Hubble Network, which successfully made the first direct Bluetooth connection to the satellite in 2024.

According to Eureka, the new satellite platform expands the functionality of Muon Space's Halo technology stack, which has already been tested in space. The system is a spacecraft capable of performing complex communication and observation tasks from an orbit several hundred kilometers above the Earth.

The MuSat XL will allow Hubble Network to install a next-generation Bluetooth Low Energy payload equipped with a phased array antenna. The receiver of the updated system shows 20 times more power compared to the previous version, created on the basis of small CubeSat satellites.

Advanced technology provides BLE detection at 30 times the power consumption of existing solutions. This means that conventional consumer devices will be able to communicate with satellites without significant battery consumption.

MuSat XL platform specifications include average payload power in orbit from 1 kilowatt. The system provides high-speed communication with a downlink capacity of more than 5 terabytes of data per day.^[1]
