Mechanisms
SpaceTech develops selected satellite equipments, both for use in our own subsystems and as self standing products, making extensive use of our in-house manufacturing and test capabilties. We have a thorough understanding of details of satellite equipments and "hands-on" experience in development, manufacturing, assembly, integration and test is an ideal foundation for the development of higher levels of integration as in subsystems.
System and subsystem activities
The design, manufacturing, qualification and delivery of various equipments are an important complement to our system and subsystem activities. With SADM for Airbus OneWeb Satellites, JUICE RIME antenna Kompsat 3 deployment mechanism and Göktürk-2 deployment mechanism successfully deployed in orbit, SpaceTech acquired significant space heritage in this field.
