Gravity is an ally
By deploying a constellation of spacecraft equipped with patented relativistic gravimeters, Gravisat is set to create a world-first dynamic model of the Earth's gravity field.
We need a dynamic model of the Earth's Gravity
The gravity field of the Earth is dynamic and changes in real time. This is because it is influenced by the distribution of mass and the motion of that mass within and around the Earth. But all existing models of the gravity field are static, which means that they only represent the Earth's gravitational field at the time when the data was collected. As a result, they cannot provide an accurate representation of the Earth's gravity field in real-time, which is critical for numerous applications since the gravity field is in a constant state of change. Therefore, there is a need to develop a dynamic model that can capture the ever-changing nature of the Earth's gravity field.

what we do
Gravity as a service
Gravisat will create a dynamic model of the Earth's gravity field to serve as a robust platform for providing real-time data for various industries:
- Environmental monitoring
- Earthquake forecasting
- Aerospace and Defense
- Oil and Gas
- Mining
How it works
We developed the world’s first autonomous relativistic gravimeter
It can simultaneously measure the absolute value of the free fall acceleration, its relative change and the gradient along three axes. Equipped with this unique technology Gravisat’s constellation in LEO will monitor Earth’s gravitational field in real time. This will unlock a new layer of knowledge about our planet, which has the potential to lead to groundbreaking discoveries in the scientific community, as well as create new and exciting business opportunities for companies worldwide.

Developed by a world leading team in the field of gravimetry and spacecraft architecture
The Gravisat technology was developed by a world leading team in the field and is based on 20 patents and 30 scientific papers. As a core component of the Gravisat spacecraft, a patented relativistic gravimeter was tested on the ground recording gravitational anomalies in a 500 km range with 100% accuracy during its calibration in 2019, 2022, and 2023.
