Founded in 2023 by satellite industry veteran Chris McLain, AscendArc is pioneering a new approach to satellite design and manufacturing that exponentially improves the economics and throughput performance in geosynchronous (GEO) orbit. The AscendArc revitalizes the GEO industry with a lower cost per Mbps than all LEO and GEO constellations. Drawing on experience from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and SpaceX, the AscendArc team has developed a modular, assembly-line approach that is revolutionizing affordable access to space.
