Tuesday 2/10 10:00-11:00: Pitching by the following start-ups:
Drift+Noise Polar Services assists companies in developing economic activities in ice-covered waters by providing frequently updated ice maps for polar regions.
Lens R&D produces high-reliability Sun sensors to help steer space missions; they’re small enough to be used on small satellites but good enough for big ones too.
HOSTmi is acting as an independent broker through a global online space marketplace, matching space experiments and payloads with most suitable flight opportunities worldwide.
Veoware Space concentrates on delivering the right Earth observation image at the right time. Their very high-resolution space-based systems are planned to go live in 2022.
LoReTT produces leading-edge education tools to turn space and satellite services into exciting teaching elements for school children.
Valispace sells state-of-the-art software tool to store and structure engineering data, radically streamlining the hardware engineering..
Tuesday 2/10 15:00-16:00: Pitching by the following start-ups:
satsearch is developing a global space supply chain marketplace, enabling customers to identify, analyse and compare satellite element suppliers and their products.
OKB Fifth Generation is developing radiation-tolerant integrated circuits for satellite systems, space instrumentation and CubeSats.
ELiSE offers a system that assesses the ‘DNA’ of a technical part, gathering all requirements, then automatically develops a bionic design it can then 3D print.
Open Cosmos is a one-stop shop for going into orbit, allowing businesses, research institutions and organisations to reach space aboard nanosatellites in a matter of months.
Vultus helps farmers cut up to 40% of their fertiliser usage through its satellite-based system for precision farming.
ESA booth 50: 1 October - 3 October noon
AIKO is developing artificial intelligence for space applications, enabling autonomous operations using its innovative software library.
