Our creations burn before they stop working

Many people don't realize it, but everything that orbits our Earth today will eventually return. Satellites and other space objects do not remain in orbit forever. Gradually, gravity pulls them back until they re-enter the atmosphere  where they fully burn up. And that is exactly how it is meant to be.

In the space industry, strict requirements apply: space debris must be kept to an absolute minimum. When electronics fail, explode, or break apart in orbit, fragments remain behind. These fragments can endanger other satellites, communication systems, and even crewed missions. Space must not become a dumping ground  we don't need to repeat in orbit the mistakes made on Earth.

That is why systems are designed to remain operational until the very last moment of their mission. They must function reliably  and only stop when they burn up during atmospheric re-entry. This approach ensures that no debris is left behind in Earth's orbit. At the end of the mission the solar panels need to be disconnected from the system and the battery discharged.

Within this framework, Atspace contributes to building the electronics capable of meeting these demands. We support space projects with PCB design, printed circuit board engineering, electronics architecture, and test solutions developed to operate under extreme conditions such as radiation and temperature fluctuations. Not for a short time, but for the entire required mission lifetime right up to the moment the system safely and predictably re-enters the atmosphere and disappears.

This is not a marketing choice, but a responsibility defined by the space sector itself  and Atspace helps make that standard technically achievable through durable, carefully engineered, and highly reliable electronics.

The result is systems that do their job, continue to function when it truly matters 
and disappear only when their task is complete.

With our feet firmly on the ground.
With our creations in space.
And always with respect for what we leave behind  or deliberately do not.
