Space Projects & High-Tech Consultancy

Experience that matters, even in orbit

At AtSpace, we believe that strong technological solutions are built through collaboration, knowledge, and years of hands-on experience. That is why Andy, founder of AtSpace, has contributed as a consultant to several international space projects in collaboration with, among others, European space partners. AtSpace itself was not involved as a prime contractor or manufacturer in these programs.

These projects share one key characteristic: they require extremely reliable, efficient, and precise electronic and system-level solutions — often for missions operating in some of the most demanding environments imaginable.

Through these engagements, Andy developed deep expertise in electronic system design, testing, analysis, and the technical guidance of high-reliability space hardware. Today, this knowledge is applied within AtSpace to help clients elevate their projects to the next level.

GENESIS – Geodetic Earth Observation

AtSpace is designing the digital board of the VLBI instrument in collaboration with Antwerp Space, which is responsible for the RF subsystem of the VLBI payload aboard the Genesis satellite. The mission's objective is to measure the movement of our planet with millimetre-level accuracy—an essential capability for fundamental geodetic research, climate monitoring, and next-generation navigation systems


International Berthing and Docking Mechanisms (IBDM)

International Berthing and Docking Mechanisms (IBDM)

Redwire Space is consulting AtSpace for the lead electronic system engineering of the International Berthing and Docking Mechanisms (IBDM) for the I-HAB module of the Lunar Gateway. AtSpace contributes its expertise in space-qualified electronic architectures, system-level design, and interface definition to ensure reliable and safe docking operations. These mechanisms are a critical element of the Gateway infrastructure, enabling visiting spacecraft to berth and dock with the I-HAB module during future lunar missions.

TT&C Communication Systems

For its TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking & Command) communication systems, Antwerp Space consulted AtSpace to support the design of the digital board. AtSpace provided system and digital electronics expertise, contributing to the robustness and performance of the spacecraft's critical communication link.

Remote Terminal Units & Data Processing Units

AtSpace supported QinetiQ Space in the design and development of the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). The support focused on system analysis, requirements definition and traceability, as well as testing, debugging, and validation activities to ensure reliable unit performance.

MWI CDPU

For the second-generation Metop satellite Micro-Wave Imager (MWI), AtSpace supported QinetiQ Space with electronic system engineering, design, and test consultancy for the Control and Data Processing Unit (CDPU), working in close collaboration with Thales Alenia Space.[sb1]
