Astrolight: Lithuania\u2019s Emerging Player in Optical Space and Defense Communications<\/h2>\n
AeroMorning interview with Laurynas Ma\u010diulis, CEO of<\/i> <\/i><\/a>Astrolight on October 16, 2026<\/i> <\/div>\n

Founded in Vilnius in 2019 by researchers from the Center
\nfor Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) and Vilnius Tech, Astrolight is a
\nLithuanian space and defense company developing laser-based optical
\ncommunications for space, defense, maritime and ground applications. Its
\nfounders include CEO Laurynas Ma\u010diulis, CTO Dalius Petrulionis, Senior Engineer
\nJulijanas \u017deludevi\u010dius and Production Manager Martynas Mila\u0161evi\u010dius. <\/p>\n

Rather than positioning itself solely as a component manufacturer,
\nAstrolight aims to build an end-to-end optical connectivity infrastructure\u2014an
\n\u201coptical backhaul for space\u201d\u2014linking satellites, ground stations and
\nships. <\/p>\n

Strategic ecosystem and geography<\/b> <\/p>\n

Astrolight benefits from Lithuania\u2019s established expertise
\nin lasers and photonics, combined with growing space and defense ecosystems.
\nIts technology has also attracted attention from NATO\u2019s Defense Innovation
\nAccelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) program. <\/p>\n

The company has established a Danish subsidiary to
\nstrengthen its position in the Nordic and Arctic markets, including its optical
\nground-station project in Greenland. <\/p>\n

Financial and employee profile<\/b> <\/p>\n

Astrolight remains a small and growing company, with 40
\nemployees as of October 2026 . <\/p>\n

Its reported sales increased from \u20ac584,000 in 2024 to
\n\u20ac866,817 in 2025, equivalent to roughly US$1 million. The company recorded a
\n\u20ac339,000 net loss in 2025, while equity increased to \u20ac1.99 million and total
\nassets to \u20ac3.35 million. A 2026 revenue is not publicly disclosed . <\/p>\n

In May 2025, Astrolight raised \u20ac2.8 million in seed funding,
\nled by Balnord, with participation from EIFO, Coinvest Capital, 3NGLS and Rita
\nSakus. The company has also benefited from European Union programs such as
\nCASSINI and from NATO support. <\/p>\n

Technology and products<\/b> <\/p>\n

Optical communications<\/b> <\/p>\n

Astrolight replaces conventional radio-frequency (RF)
\ncommunications with highly directional laser beams. Optical links can provide
\nvery high bandwidth, narrow beams, a low probability of interception, greater
\nresistance to conventional radio-frequency jamming, a low electromagnetic
\nsignature and no dependence on scarce RF spectrum. <\/p>\n

One of the main limitations for laser communication systems
\nis atmospheric conditions: clouds, fog, and other weather phenomena can disrupt
\nspace-to-ground optical links. Astrolight therefore combines terminal
\ntechnology with a distributed ground infrastructure strategy: if one optical
\nground station is unavailable due to weather conditions, data could potentially
\nbe routed through another station in a different geographical location. <\/p>\n

ATLAS: space communications<\/b> <\/p>\n

The ATLAS family is the company’s core space
\ntechnology. <\/p>\n

ATLAS-1<\/b> became the first Lithuanian laser
\ncommunications system to reach orbit, launching aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-16
\nmission in March 2026. The company is also involved in European Commission and
\nCASSINI-supported in-orbit demonstrations. <\/p>\n

ATLAS-2<\/b> is a low Size, Weight and Power (Low-SWaP)
\nterminal designed for both space-to-ground and space-to-space communications.
\nIt weighs 2.3 kg, offers up to 2.5 Gbps for body-steered and gimbaled
\nspace-to-ground and inter-satellite links, with some configurations capable of
\nreaching up to 100 Gbps. It consumes approximately 1 W in idle mode and 30 W
\nwhile transmitting, and provides fine-pointing accuracy below 15 microradians.
\nIt also incorporates in-orbit self-calibration. It is SDA-compatible. <\/p>\n

ATLAS-X-MINI<\/b> adds a gimbal, allowing hemispherical
\npointing. It features a 40 mm aperture, up to 2.5 Gbps downlink for
\nbody-steered and gimbaled space-to-ground and inter-satellite links, with some
\nconfigurations capable of reaching up to 100 Gbps, and 156 Mbps uplink, and is
\ncompatible with Space Development Agency (SDA) Optical Communications Terminal
\n(OCT) 3.1 requirements. <\/p>\n

Ground segment<\/b> <\/p>\n

Astrolight’s OGS-2.5 Optical Ground Station<\/b> supports
\nSDA and Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) standards, with
\n14- or 20-inch apertures. Published capabilities include downlink rates of up
\nto 12.5 Gbps and uplink rates of up to 2.5 Gbps. <\/p>\n

The company is also developing an optical ground station in
\nKangerlussuaq, Greenland, through the European Space Agency’s (ESA) ScyLight
\nprogram. The station is intended to benefit from the visibility of
\npolar-orbiting satellites and favorable Arctic conditions for optical
\ncommunications. <\/p>\n

POLARIS: defense and maritime communications<\/b> <\/p>\n

POLARIS is a free-space optical communications terminal
\ndesigned for naval platforms and unmanned surface vessels. It offers up to 1
\nGbps, 4 W optical power, and approximately 200 W electrical consumption, with a
\nmass of around 16 kg. <\/p>\n

The system has been tested by the Lithuanian Navy in the
\nBaltic Sea and during NATO’s REPMUS\/Dynamic Messenger exercise in Portugal,
\nwhere Astrolight demonstrated a radio-silent link exceeding 15 km. POLARIS was
\nalso tested during NATO’s DiBaX exercise in Latvia. Astrolight has signed a
\nmemorandum of understanding (MoU) with Naval Group concerning potential naval
\napplications. <\/p>\n

Business model and strategy<\/b> <\/p>\n

Astrolight’s strategy has two layers: selling hardware such
\nas ATLAS, ATLAS-X, Optical Ground Stations and POLARIS and ultimately offering connectivity
\nas a service<\/b> through space-to-ground, space-to-ship, ship-to-ship,
\nground-to-ground,and inter-satellite optical links. <\/p>\n

Competition and European positioning<\/b> <\/p>\n

Astrolight operates in an increasingly competitive market
\nthat includes TESAT, Rocket Lab\/Mynaric, CACI, Skyloom, Kepler Communications,
\nThales Alenia Space, SpaceX, Cailabs and Archangel Lightworks. <\/p>\n

Its differentiation lies in its combination of low-SWaP
\ntechnology, products designed for manufacturing at scale, vertical integration,
\nEuropean industrial positioning, interoperability, and dual-use applications
\nacross space and defense. Its relationships with ESA, the European Commission,
\nNATO DIANA, and other European organizations provide additional institutional
\nvalidation. <\/p>\n

Its main challenges are equally clear: atmospheric
\nlimitations and scaling manufacturing to potentially thousands of
\nterminals,. <\/p>\n

The company\u2019s systems are built with off-the-shelf
\ncomponents and designed for high-volume manufacturing, which helps reduce costs
\nand lets the company compete in the small-satellite market, where larger
\nplayers\u2019 solutions are often not viable. <\/p>\n
