IQ spacecom’s XLink‑S on Board
Artemis II

Artemis II carries more than a crew.

With the successful launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission, a new chapter in human spaceflight begins — and a Berlin‑based NewSpace technology is part of the journey.

Our XLink‑S SDR transceiver is flying aboard the TACHELES 12U CubeSat, developed by NEUROSPACE, where it enables reliable spacecraft communications in a highly challenging radiation environment.

The satellite is part of a German‑American collaboration, supported by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and will be deployed to test the electronics of the HiveR rover in orbit under extreme radiation conditions.

We congratulate all partners on the successful launch and look forward to following the mission’s progress!
