developing end-to-end laser communications systems for satellite missions, is proud to announce the
kick-off of its second phase of development activities for its CYCLOPS Laser Communication Terminals.
After the successful completion of the first phase of development, the Luxembourg Space Agency has

in an excellent position to meet this demand in the months to come” declared Jordan Vannitsen,
ODYSSEUS Space CEO.
“Our team is expanding, in Europe and Asia, and we are currently building on these synergies to be
