SpaceQuest, Ltd. (also known as AAC SpaceQuest) is a spacecraft components and engineering company located in Fairfax, Virginia, which focuses on the operations of small satellites.
The company designs, develops, constructs, launches and operates microsatellites and spacecraft components. SpaceQuest qualifies its components for use in space by flying them on its own satellites. They also operate a fleet of low earth orbiting satellites, which are used for remote monitoring as well as tracking the location and status of large vessels at sea.[1][needs update][third-party source needed]
SpaceQuest's customers include US and foreign universities, NASA, the US Air Force, the Canadian Space Agency, commercial aerospace companies, and foreign developers of microsatellites.[1][2][third-party source needed] Some of their projects include:
FalconSAT 3 & 5, satellites developed by cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Thea and Brio, launched in December 2018 on Spaceflight's SSO-A mission, a pair of 3U cubesats hosting experimental payloads for commercial customers.[4]
