How Space Talos Are Building Magnetic Shields For Satellites And Spacecraft

- July 2024Company
Mission
Developed technology to actively shield satellite electronics from space radiation.
Space Talos worked on active radiation shielding for satellites: generate a magnetic field around the spacecraft to deflect charged particles, so builders could fly cheap commercial electronics instead of radiation-hardened chips. Alexandros Christou and Majed Jawad founded it in London, registering the company in 2018.
The physics asks a lot. A field strong enough to matter demands power and mass that small satellites do not have to spare, and the company never publicly got past concepts and grant-stage work. Nothing flew, and no customer was ever named.
It dissolved quietly in July 2024, a fact recorded at Companies House and nowhere else.
