MARSNAVCOM is a study aimed at prototyping key technologies for a Mars positioning and communication system using Small Satellites. The proposed fleet of small satellites, Mars Comms/Nav, will provide services to Mars missions by allowing Earth-Mars data relay communication and localization services reducing complexity, weight and costs of the payloads and outsourcing the operations and…
The Mars Surface Platform Capabilities (MSPC) ESA-funded study determines how to capitalize and improve on the Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) system of the 2016 ExoMars Schiaparelli mission. MSPC leverages the knowledge gained from ExoMars Schiaparelli, and converts its architecture it into a multi-purpose science platform of moderate size and cost. The Final Project Review on…
The GIS portal illustrating the potential corridors for the New Trans-Pyrenees High Railway Axis and the respective environmental, functional and technical-economic studies was developed by our team at the Railway Technology Centre in Malaga, Spain.
Innovative space missions and services based on smaller platforms like cubesats depend on equally innovative payloads. Space-based services in the New Space arena such as in-orbit servicing – the refuelling or reparing of satellites – or collision avoidance services – increasingly necessary due to the growing number of satellites in orbit – depend on knowing…
Did you know that there are more than 6000 satellites in orbit around the Earth right now? The accumulation of Space Debris particularly in low-earth orbits is one of the most pressing threats to the long-term sustainability of space operations, as it poses a series of risks and costs ranging from loss of the payload,…
Elecnor Deimos develops for ADIF a mobile application that provides real-time information on train locations and available services to the users.
Galileo is Europe’s own global navigation satellite system, providing a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. Elecnor Deimos is in charge of the development of three Galileo Ground Mission Segment Main Facilities as prime contractor, participating also in the space and user segments.
Ingenio is an optical high-resolution imaging mission devoted to providing multispectral land optical images to different Spanish and European civil, institutional and government users in which Elecnor-Deimos has provided a significant contribution along the mission definition and implementation, focused on ground segment activities devoted to the exploitation of the on-board instrument data received in Earth.
Solar Orbiter is an ESA mission with strong NASA collaboration, aiming to study the Sun from 42 million km (about a quarter of the distance between the Sun and Earth). Deimos has been involved since the very beginning of the mission in mission analysis activities with trajectory calculation for low thrust and resonance orbits, providing fundamental engineering services to the Solar Orbiter prime contractor.
In the RETALT project European industry and research are joining forces to develop the key technologies of reusable upright-landing rockets to raise the TRL up to 5 for most of the technologies investigated. The responsibility of Elecnor Deimos is the Flight Dynamics and the development of a Guidance, Navigation and Control concept for the reference configurations.
Deimos offers a supplementary service of optical observations and orbit determination, with the objective of evaluating a robust solution fully integrated in the operational system.
Elecnor Deimos is responsible of Earth Return Orbiter (ERO) mission analysis, for locating and capturing a container of mars samples, collected and launched into low mars orbit by previous missions, and ensuring their safe return to earth.
Elecnor Deimos invests in Orbex, the British company with which Deimos collaborates in the development of prime launchers, and becomes the preferred supplier of Orbex in critical launch systems, including guidance, navigation and control system (GNC).
The objective of DISCOVERER is the study of smaller, lighter and cheaper Earth Observation satellites, of higher resolution and operating in VLEO. Elecnor Deimos contributes in this project with the design and analysis of platform technology, and with the system requirements at the integration level.
Deimos 2 is the second Earth observation satellite mission developed by Elecnor Deimos. With an expected life-time of more than 7 years, Deimos-2 is an agile, high resolution satellite that became the only European fully-private satellite capable of providing sub-metric multispectral imagery.
DEimos Sky Survey (DESS) provides Elecnor Deimos with operational capabilities across all the stages of the space environment surveillance process.
“Priority Tickets” developed by Deimos, is the mobile app being used by O2 in order to allow its users to buy tickets for the concerts that the company organises all over the UK
G3 is a flexible GNSS receiver for the processing of GPS and Galileo signals and real-time digital signal streaming to PC developed by Elecnor Deimos.
ESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is dedicated to making global observations of soil moisture over land and salinity over oceans. Elecnor Deimos has been linked to the project since 2003, defining the processing algorithms, managing the Ground Segment and the instrument monitoring tool.
Elecnor Deimos has been involved in the mission analysis, independent software validation and payload exploitation of Sentinel-3A, part of the fleet of satellites designed to deliver the wealth of data and imagery needed for the Copernicus programme.
Elecnor Deimos GNC technology flew the IXV from orbital conditions at 120km altitude down to a precise splashdown in the pacific. The IXV project focused in developing and flight-testing technologies and critical systems that are key for Europe’s future autonomous controlled reentry for return missions from low Earth orbit.
Alhambra ISS, designed by Deimos, is the most powerful passenger information system on the market.
