GomSpace signs 3.6 MSEK contract with UK university collaboration

Aalborg, Denmark (SPX) Oct 07, 2024
A partnership of three UK universities has chosen GomSpace to support the development of a satellite mission under a contract valued at 3.6 million SEK. The collaboration, which includes universities from the Space South Central region covering Surrey and Hampshire, is part of the Joint Universities Programme for In-orbit Training, Education, and Research (JUPITER).

Their upcoming project, Jovian-1, is a satellite mission featuring five payloads, with one payload being designed and developed entirely by students. This initiative is aimed at enhancing student skills and employability in the space sector.

With a limited timeframe to deliver the mission, the university consortium sought a partner who could meet stringent deadlines without compromising the mission's quality. GomSpace's standardized platforms, industrial processes, and well-established manufacturing capabilities positioned the company as an ideal fit to meet these demands. The contract will see GomSpace support the assembly, integration, and testing phases for the Jovian-1 satellite while maintaining a critical timeline.

"Once again, our standardization and ability to react quickly are addressing our partner's challenges. This is what we believe to be our value: delivering solutions that allow our customers to work comfortably. With our platform kits, 17 years of manufacturing experience, and extensive in-orbit product heritage, we can fast-track projects without compromising quality or increasing risk.

"Fulfilling our customers' ambitions is extremely rewarding, and I would like to thank the three Space South Central universities for their trust," said Henrik Kalstrup, Vice President of the Products business unit at GomSpace.

Albany NY (SPX) Oct 06, 2024
Most CubeSats weigh less than a bowling ball, and some are small enough to hold in your hand. But the impact these instruments are having on space exploration is gigantic. CubeSats - miniature, agile and cheap satellites - are revolutionizing how scientists study the cosmos. A standard-size CubeSat is tiny, about 4 pounds (roughly 2 kilograms). Some are larger, maybe four times the standard size, but others are no more than a pound. As a professor of electrical and computer engineering who w ... read more
