The universities of Surrey, Portsmouth and Southampton, UK, three of the European leading Space Universities have selected GomSpace to supply a 3.6 MSEK platform kit for an upcoming express mission.
The three universities, which are partners in the Space South Central region of Surrey and Hampshire in the UK, are collaborating on JUPITER – the Joint Universities Programme for In-orbit Training, Education and Research. Their first mission is Jovian-1, a satellite with five payloads, one of which will be entirely developed by students, building vital space skills and employability.
With an extremely tight timeframe to develop the mission, the three universities needed a partner capable of meeting the deadline without compromising on quality. Thanks to GomSpace’s standardized approach, industrial setup, and manufacturing maturity, the company is prepared to take on the challenge and assist the group in keeping a crucial timeline for Jovian-1’s assembly, integration, and testing.
“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.
