Space
Intelligent technology for demanding space conditions
Operating in space requires utmost precision and safety. Our software solutions support the operation of satellites and ensure that critical systems function flawlessly. Decades of experience in the space industry and over 150 projects carried out with the European Space Agency (ESA) ensure a high-quality and reliable partnership.
We take part in the design of satellites, spacecraft and ground systems, from concept to implementation.
Turning space data into action: Intelligent software at the core of satellite operations
Data collected by satellites influences our daily lives – from weather forecasts to navigation. Demanding space applications, such as real-time software for satellite payloads and platforms, require deep expertise in space technologies.
Our software processes, analyses and visualises satellite data, enabling its use across a wide range of industries. We develop solutions for:
- equipment launched into space,
- ground-based processes, and
- data collection and processing.
At the core of our space industry expertise lies the design and development of complex data processing systems, instrument simulators and testing equipment.
Space technology at the core of solving global challenges
Space technology plays a vital role in addressing global challenges. It enables the exploration of exoplanets and our own solar system, the monitoring of climate change, and the development of safety-critical applications. Satellites are central to observing climate change, providing the precision needed to form an accurate global situational picture. Through satellite data, greenhouse gases can be measured, the atmosphere analysed, and information produced to support decision-making.
We are an experienced partner in the space and defence industries. Our solutions combine artificial intelligence, quality management and mechanical design, including dual-use applications.
Our goal is to build a safe, sustainable and intelligent future through space.
These services are now of particular interest to our clients
Embedded software development
We deliver mission-critical control systems for satellite platforms, as well as scientific data processing solutions for atmospheric sounding and imaging projects. At the core are safety-critical, thoroughly tested and validated software systems designed to operate reliably for years under the harsh conditions of space.
Tools for data processing and instrument quality
We specialise in specific stages and tools of data product development, transforming raw data from satellite instruments into outputs tailored to the customer’s needs.
Independent Software Verification and Validation (ISVV)
We help organisations ensure that software products developed by subcontractors meet the required quality standards. ISVV (Independent Software Verification and Validation) is one of our core areas of expertise. We have carried out independent verification and validation for numerous satellite software systems.
New Space
New Space actors, both in Finland and internationally, are seeking expertise particularly in software functionality and quality assurance. Our extensive experience with the operating models of the European Space Agency (ESA), combined with strong technological know-how, provides us with the capability to participate in a wide range of space projects. Our services include:
- software and system assessments
- technology study
- software and hardware development
Defence systems utilising space technologies
Our core competence in combining space technology with defence systems lies in software and systems engineering for various defence applications; in developing data fusion and algorithms for test systems and measurement instruments; in data analytics for identification sensors; and in machine-learning-assisted situational awareness and targeting, including navigation capabilities independent of satellite systems.
We have been involved in defence industry projects since 2007, and our company holds a Facility Security Clearance (FSC).
Space mechanics
We provide innovative mechanical design solutions by utilising a range of advanced techniques, including additive manufacturing. This enables us to rapidly produce components where increased complexity does not raise costs, structural rigidity can be maximised, and energy and material consumption kept to a minimum. It also opens the door to entirely new types of solutions, such as integrated sensors.
