  • SERVICES

    Consultancy

    The first steps to the unknown can be overwhelming – let us take the load off and help you set up a successful scientific mission to space without a sweat.

    Documentation

    The documentation equals the mass of the payload so they say – we will help you with documentation to accelerate development without cutting corners.

    LCM Implementation

    Configuration management is a difficult task – we will implement the right tools and tailor them to your specific needs to help you stay on top of it.

    Payload Development

    Sometimes the capabilities are not in-house – we will help you develop your payload, arrange access to manufacturing partners and test facilities.
