European Space Agency signs contract with NanoSpace to develop advanced propulsion for nanosatellites
NanoSpace AB - a subsidiary of GomSpace Group AB (the ”Company”) has signed a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop and a qualify an advanced propulsion system suitable for nanosatellites. The contract value is 800.000 EUR and the project will run for 2 years. The objective of this contract is to develop a propulsion system that can give nanosatellites “6 degrees of freedom” control with high accuracy, and this is needed to enable advanced satellite missions such as close formation flying, rendezvous and docking. The work will be based on NanoSpace miniaturized and
