Rapidtek’s subsidiary Asterforge Advances in LEO Satellites
The global low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication market is rapidly growing. In 2024, Rapidtek partnered with Singapore startup NuSpace to establish the joint venture Asterforge. Combining expertise in satellite hardware manufacturing and software services, Asterforge provides satellite ODM, OEM, and A.I.T. (Assembly, Integration, and Testing) services, driving innovation and application of small satellites.
In just over a year, Asterforge has entered the international market, securing overseas satellite A.I.T. contracts and supporting multiple LEO satellite constellation projects. This collaboration marks Taiwan’s satellite R&D and testing capabilities joining the global supply chain, exemplifying the “Taiwan technology, international platform” model.
Asterforge, based in Singapore, leverages Taiwan’s strength in RF and system testing and Singapore’s international environment and application scenarios. It serves as a key hub for satellite A.I.T. services in the Asia-Pacific region. Backed by Rapidtek’s experience in RF testing, array antennas, and satellite payload development, Asterforge offers a complete technical chain from ground testing to space missions.
Since its inception, Asterforge has undertaken projects with partners across industry, academia, and government in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. Through these projects, it continues to enhance its R&D and service capabilities, further advancing satellite integration and testing technology, and promoting the international and local development of the small satellite industry.
