Our Services
We propose to dedicate the skills of our engineering team to help you achieve your goals and contribute to your success.
Reusable Launch Systems: Engineering the Future of Space Access
Almatech is at the forefront of developing reusable launch technologies, collaborating on projects like the European Space Agency's THEMIS TH1 and the Horizon 2020-funded RETALT program. Their innovations include lightweight, gravity-deployed composite landing legs designed for rapid deployment and minimal maintenance, enhancing the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of space missions.
In-Orbit Servicing: Building the Backbone of Future Missions
Almatech delivers advanced structural and thermal solutions essential to the function and durability of modern spacecraft. Whether it’s lightweight satellite components or resilient modules for orbital platforms, their contributions form the critical infrastructure for reliable space operations.
Space Infrastructure: Enabling a Clearer View of Our Planet
Through robust satellite components and support structures, Almatech empowers Earth observation systems that track climate change, natural disasters, and environmental health. Their innovations contribute to a more connected and informed global ecosystem.
Satellite Equipment and Payloads
We contribute to some of Europe’s most ambitious space missions, from exploring our solar system to monitoring our planet. Among our most relevant achievements are Solar Orbiter, where our technologies support the study of the Sun and its impact on space weather, and CHEOPS, dedicated to the precise characterization of exoplanets orbiting distant stars.
Space Innovation
At Almatech, innovation drives everything we do. Our R&D activities focus on transforming advanced engineering concepts into robust, market-ready solutions for the space industry.
Engineering Services: Advancing Humanity’s Reach into the Cosmos
Almatech collaborates on exploration missions beyond Earth orbit, delivering ultra-lightweight and resilient components for planetary landers, probes, and other deep-space vehicles. Their technologies are built to withstand the extremes of space and support scientific discovery.
