Competences

Active Space Technologies’ main competences in space are:

• Mechanics (thermo-mechanical architecture – including cryogenics, computational fluid dynamics)
• Electronics (FPGAs, Power Control, RF)
• Manufacturing, assembly & testing (precision manufacturing, assembly, environmental testing)

 

Case Studies

• Space: JUICE (MGAMA), Solar Orbiter (Feedthroughs, Boom, Structural Thermal Models), BepiColombo (Antenna Boom, BELA, MSASI/MPO), ExoMars (Rover BEMA’s EGSE, Avionics GSE, iBeams, STMs), Sentinel-4 (UVN Apperture Cover’s GSE), InSight (HP3), Sentinel-3 (Solar Panel’s MGSE), SEOSAT (UVAS), EUCLID (Service Module MGSE, Ka Band SCOE, STMs), ORION MPCV (STA), NEOSAT (MGSE), MetOp-SG (Scatterometer Structure), Plato (SVM).

 

Research and Technology Demonstration projects
