Sateliot 5G Satellite Development Centre supports Tritó platform design Sateliot notes that the centre includes a 100-square-metre clean room, a mission control room and a laboratory where teams are developing the prototype of the operator’ s next satellite generation. The platform, named Tritó, takes its name from the Montseny newt, a species native to Catalonia. Sateliot presents the name as a reference to technology developed in Barcelona.
The satellites measure almost four metres in length and have a mass of around 150 kilograms. Sateliot describes the new platforms as an advancement in capability due to increased payload capacity.
