2021: Patent for Technology for Transmitting Information from Space by Laser Flicker

Avant Space On August 26, 2021, the company announced that it had received patent Federal Intellectual Property Service technology to transfer information from space the flicker method. lasers The development will be used both for the demonstration space advertizing developed by the company and as a solution for third-party customers - as part of the development of their own projects.

The technology works on the principle of a QR code, but in orbit. The essence of it is that the flicker of lasers allows you to transmit binary code. So, when you point the phone at a spacecraft that shows advertising from orbit, the user gets the opportunity to get information in the form of text or link.

"We can officially declare that we have become the copyright holder of a unique technology for advertising and informing the population, conducted directly from orbit. Unlike other projects that intend to develop this area, we rely on breakthrough solutions and the pace of development. Thanks to this, our customers will be able not only to overtake the customers of the same Elon Mask in terms of time, but also to show their technological superiority. At the same time, our solution is more technological and can be scaled up on various platforms, including for emergency public information, assistance in emergencies and other situations. I am sure that the export potential of this technology will remind itself in the near future, "said Anton Ossovsky, head of Avant Space.

As of August 2021, the company is working on a project in which it is planned to begin demonstrating advertising in the night sky using satellites in Earth orbit. The solution works on the principle of forming bright points from satellites in the night sky, which are combined into a brand logo or text. The company plans to launch the first satellites to demonstrate advertising from space in 2022. Customers will have access to information transfer technology by flickering lasers immediately after the project is launched. The price for the annual placement of the logo in the sky for the first customer will be from $10 million.
