Rehovot, Israel, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maris-Tech Ltd. (Nasdaq: MTEK, MTEKW) (“Maris-Tech” or the “Company”), a global leader in video and artificial intelligence (“AI”)-based edge computing technology, continues to strengthen its position in the rapidly growing commercial space sector. This dynamic market, driven by massive satellite constellations, Earth observation, and on-orbit intelligence, is experiencing rapid growth. According to a Goldman Sachs report from March 2025, titled “The global satellite market is forecast to become seven times bigger”, the global satellite market is projected to reach
The surge is propelled by private-sector leaders deploying low-Earth orbit fleets for broadband, high-resolution imaging, and enhanced situational awareness. In this environment, satellites require rugged, low-power, low-latency onboard processing to enable real-time video handling, AI-driven analytics, collision avoidance, proximity operations, and autonomous decision-making—reducing reliance on ground stations and bandwidth constraints.
Maris-Tech's specialized edge AI-accelerated video streaming and processing solutions are engineered for resource-constrained platforms across land, sea, air, and space applications. The Company's technologies deliver miniature, lightweight, low-power systems with multi-stream video encoding, ultra-low-latency transmission, advanced image processing, and onboard AI capabilities—ideal for surveillance, aerospace, defense, homeland security, and the burgeoning New Space ecosystem.
Maris-Tech recently announced a significant technical milestone: the successful transition from planning to active hardware testing and integration of its advanced payload, designed to demonstrate high-performance edge computing and video processing in orbit. This step validates the maturity of Maris-Tech's solutions for seamless operation in space environments, supporting real-time data handling, advanced analytics, and mission-critical use cases such as space situational awareness, autonomous operations, and object detection/tracking.
Additional highlights of Maris-Tech's space credentials include:
- Proven Flight Heritage: Maris-Tech's Neptune-Space video system was successfully deployed on the 2019 SpaceIL Beresheet mission—the first privately funded spacecraft to reach lunar orbit. The system captured and transmitted high-quality video and images throughout the journey, validating its performance in extreme space conditions.
- Tailored Products for Space: The Jupiter and Uranus families of platforms, featuring multi-stream video encoding, low-latency streaming, and AI acceleration, offer compact, low-power designs optimized for resource-constrained satellites. These platforms enable on-board object detection, tracking, and analytics, reducing dependency on ground stations and bandwidth in the growing New Space ecosystem.
