Privileged access to core space assets

This service provides access to cutting-edge industrial means through the Space Business Catalyst by Thales Alenia Space. It can be coupled to the industrial acceleration programme and offers a range of capabilities to EIC Pathfinder, EIC Transition and EIC Accelerator beneficiaries from the Space sector.

Hardware bricks span across a wide range of platforms and payloads, from LEO to GEO, including constellations, covering activities as diverse as telecommunications, Earth observation and space exploration. For instance, radiofrequency equipment, antennas, digital processors, equipment for MILSATCOM and secure communications, electric propulsion, platform equipment, EO instruments, equipment for satellite-based augmentation systems payloads are available.

The Space Business Catalyst also supports prototyping, testing, small-scale production, and large-scale manufacturing including design and engineering, manufacturing (down to Electronic components including systems in package, RF modules, equipment, PCBs, antennas), quality assurance, payload and satellite assembly, integration and testing (with services covering environmental, mechanical and electronic testing) 

EIC beneficiaries can also access a wide variety of software elements from pre-built components to tailor-made packages, both secure and interoperable. Based on decades-long experience, they allow to focus on one’s mission-critical innovations, not tedious groundwork. The catalogue includes satellite and constellation control & monitoring, space flight dynamics, GNC/AOCS, ground-space interface, image processing, telecommunication mission planning and network management, digital twin.

Eventually, EIC beneficiaries can access with privileged financial conditions to in-depth, dedicated expertise on topics of interest, one step beyond the industrial acceleration programme offered by the Space Business Catalyst.
