Elliptiq is advancing customized Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) satellite constellations — protected under U.S. Patent Applications 19/075,846, 63/955,619, and 64/050,531 — that deliver resilient, sovereign, cost-effective, and LEO-like communications with significantly fewer satellites than traditional LEO systems. Our perigee-focused architecture, which we call HELO (Highly Elliptical Lowpass Orbit), enables sovereign regional networks for land, maritime, aviation, and space users, while also supporting active radiation belt space weather monitoring, PNT augmentation, ISR, cybersecurity, spectrum reuse, and enhanced survivability. Elliptiq and Elliptiq Space are the trade names of HEO Satellite, LLC.
