Antaris™ and SARsatX™ Sign MOA to Deliver SAR Earth Observation Satellite Constellation for Saudi Arabia

LOS ALTOS, CA, UNITED STATES, February 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Antaris™, a global AI for Space company, and SARsatX™, a Saudi-based space-tech company, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to advance the development, realization, and delivery of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical Earth Observation satellite constellation for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Antaris’ local partner Saudi Excellence, a Riyadh-based technology company and subsidiary of Al-Ramez International Group, was instrumental in facilitating the relationship and project.

Under the agreement, SARsatX, which is developing an advanced, proprietary Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload, and Antaris, which provides state-of-the-art AI-driven satellite and ground segment platforms—including its TrueTwin™ digital twin and Full Mission Virtualization™ capabilities—will work together to deliver the reliable and timely deployment of an initial 16 SAR and optical satellite constellation to meet the national development objectives of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The partnership is also expected to enable increased localization of space products and services, as well as the development of in-country technical expertise and human capital for managing and operating complex multi-satellite constellations. The partnership also aims to advance in-country satellite manufacturing, assembly, integration, & testing.

Tom Barton, CEO and Co-Founder of Antaris said “Partnering with SARsatX on this constellation demonstrates how the Antaris Intelligence™ Platform can accelerate time to actionable intelligence by supporting customers as they expand their manufacturing and operational capabilities. Our vision at Antaris is to make space missions faster, simpler, and more cost-effective.”

Amru Alamoudi, CEO and Co-Founder of SARsatX, added: “SARsatX is committed to building national capability in satellite technology. Partnering with Antaris allows us to accelerate our roadmap, develop local talent, and demonstrate early success, while laying the foundation for future manufacturing in Saudi Arabia, in line with our broader plan to establish and deploy multi-modal capabilities in the coming years.”

“This partnership demonstrates the ability of the Antaris Intelligence™ Platform to significantly reduce the time-to-orbit and time-to-insight,” said Karthik Govindhasamy, CTO and Co-Founder of Antaris. “By modeling the entire space and ground segment within Antaris Intelligence™, SARsatX can de-risk the program, reduce costs, and accelerate the delivery of actionable insights to customers.”
