Your Partner in Advanced On-Orbit Solutions

We unlock the in-orbit servicing market, one microbot at a time...

Phigi is a pioneering deep tech startup at the forefront of space innovation, developing a revolutionary "programmable matter" technology that promises to transform the On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM) market. Imagine a future where spacecraft can seamlessly connect and interact, regardless of their origin or design. Where every vehicle can adapt with umprecedente flexibility to any eventuality. Phigi makes this vision a reality with a very innovative set of services.

We aim to support operators who provide continuous, updated services to Earth, supporting everything from commutes to climate monitoring, through in-orbit satellite servicing for seven billion people.

Adaptable On-Orbit Interface

AOOI

Currently, the OSAM industry is hampered by a lack of standardized interfaces between spacecraft. This is like trying to plug different electronic devices into each other without universal adapters. It leads to significant compatibility issues, increased mission costs, and logistical nightmares, hindering the growth of this vital sector.

Phigi's AOOI solves this problem by using thousands of tiny, autonomous micro-robots (just 4mm in diameter and 25mg each) that can assemble into adaptable structures. This "programmable matter" can conform to any existing spacecraft interface, creating a universal connection point. We also offer the Electrodock system for power, data, and control, along with our Supervision software for remote management.

Defense

Adaptive Defense System

Shielding

The microrobots deploy to protect critical areas such as docking ports, and physical damage.

They can adjust the density of the shield by changing their arrangement within the structure to provide varying levels of resistance.

Deterrence

Microrobots can provide various countermeasures, including masking antennas & panels, jamming docks, and altering the trajectory of a spacecraft by changing its center of mass.

The system can be removed without causing permanent damage to the target spacecraft. 

Negative Shape Detection

Reconnaissance

The microrobots can crawl over an unknown object's surface, avoiding obstacles and recording their positions. The sub-system integrates with our advanced software to analyze the microrobots' positions and generate a detailed 3D model of the object's shape.

Energy

Power Repair and Augmentation System

Solar array

Self-assemble into structures that can redirect the energy harvested from each microbot own PV cells to damaged or depleted power sources. 

Conductive structures

Activated automatically upon detecting a circuit failure. Quickly assemble into a conductive pathway, bypassing the damaged section of the wire. Can be configured to repair different types and sizes of electrical wires.

Mobility

Adaptive Cargo Space

Payload

When used as a cargo space, microrobots can dynamically reconfigure the available volume to accommodate varying payloads, and create of modify compartments within the cargo hold.

Object Manipulation System 

Science

Microrobots can collectively perform tasks such as conveying objects, removing obstacles, intercepting and releasing objects or debris.

Solar Sail System 

Propulsion

Robots can self-assemble into large, flexible solar sails which shape and orientation can be controlled with precision. Including aerodynamic drag effect, and electrodynamic tethers.

Telecommunications

Signal Relay System 

Antennas

Assemble into parabola or antenna-like structures that can reflect or amplify signals, at physically reconfigurable wavelengths.

Edge Computing System

Processing

The system can be activated automatically upon detecting increased computational demands. Current structures of microrobots can turn into computational clusters that can process data locally, providing a distributed edge computing solution.
