Muon Space has unveiled Condor-Ultra, a Starship-class spacecraft platform designed for high-power, networked constellations of hundreds to thousands of satellites. The platform is optimized for stackable mass deployment from SpaceX’s Starship, with the first Condor-Ultra pathfinder slated for delivery in 2028.
The company said Condor-Ultra is aimed at communications, sensing and orbital compute missions with demanding power, aperture and data requirements. The platform features 20 kW of power, more than 18 square metres of nadir payload area, Starlink 25 Gbps network connectivity and Muon’s Starlight propulsion system.
Muon Space positions the system as part of its Mission Foundry model for large-scale satellite constellations. The company said the stackable launch configuration is intended to reduce launch costs and support economical deployment at constellation scale. The announcement extends Muon’s push from smaller spacecraft platforms toward higher-capacity infrastructure for data-intensive space missions.
