Successful high-data-rate image decoding
Delivering 2.25 Gbps of per-channel processing throughput, HyperSDR successfully decoded FORMOSAT-8A’s 600 Mbps downlink data rate to reconstruct 0.7-meter-resolution color imagery of Alibag, India—validating its mission-proven performance in orbit.
Mission log
Date: April 27, 2026
Target: Alibag, India
Status: Real-time high resolution image decoding
Proven performance
across major X-band missions
Trusted by Taiwan Space Agency (TASA), HyperSDR successfully received and decoded signals from TASA’s FORMOSAT-8A and FORMOSAT-5, as well as processed signals from NASA’s Landsat-8 and Landsat-9. Its field-proven performance makes it the reliable choice for mission-critical satellite communications.
