Lupex Space builds next-generation Optical Inter-Satellite Communication (OISL) Terminals and AI/ML-powered hypersonic missile tracking systems for resilient, high-speed satellite networks and next-generation defense.
Lupex Space Pvt Ltd. is an Indian deep-tech startup working across two focus areas: Optical Inter-Satellite Communication (OISL) Terminals that let satellites talk to each other with light instead of radio, and AI/ML-based hypersonic missile tracking systems built on the same precision optics and real-time sensing foundation.
Both programs draw on the same core disciplines — advanced photonics, precision pointing and tracking, space-qualified electronics, and real-time embedded compute — applied to two different missions: high-bandwidth satellite links, and persistent tracking of fast, maneuvering threats.
Enable secure, high-bandwidth satellite communication and reliable, real-time tracking of next-generation aerial threats.
Every subsystem in an OISL terminal is designed in-house — from the photonics that generate the beam to the electronics that keep it locked on target.
Rather than broadcasting radio waves, an optical terminal points a narrow laser directly at its counterpart — establishing a tight, high-bandwidth "laser lock" between two moving spacecraft.
Coarse pointing mechanisms slew the terminal toward the predicted position of the counterpart spacecraft.
A wide beacon beam is exchanged, and closed-loop tracking narrows in on the exact bearing.
Fine-steering optics achieve microradian-level pointing accuracy and lock the link in place.
Modulated light carries data between terminals at multi-gigabit rates with minimal latency.
Hypersonic and highly maneuverable threats break the assumptions that legacy tracking systems are built on. Lupex Space applies the same precision-optics and real-time sensing discipline from our OISL program to build AI/ML-driven systems for detecting, classifying and tracking these threats persistently.
Hypersonic threats maneuver constantly, so no single fixed prediction holds for long. Multiple sensor nodes continuously re-acquire the target and hand off custody between one another as it moves.
Multi-sensor inputs — radar, infrared and optical — flag a fast-moving object for tracking.
AI/ML models assess signature and flight behavior to classify the object and its threat class.
Trajectory models continuously re-estimate the flight path as the target maneuvers, rather than assuming a fixed course.
Custody passes between sensor nodes so the target stays continuously tracked as it moves out of one node's field of view.
Optical inter-satellite links trade the wide, congested spectrum of radio for a narrow, directional beam of light — with real gains in throughput, size, and security.
A future where every satellite constellation shares data at the speed of light — secure, abundant, and always in reach.
Investment, collaboration, a government program, or a technology partnership — every message here starts a new link.
