Expansion of ESA’s SIMULUS framework to support complex, multi-asset mission scenarios involving simultaneous human and robotic actors. A pioneering architecture for coordinating orbiters, rovers, and crews within a unified, high-fidelity operational environment.

We engineered the architectural extensions required for multi-asset coordination, allowing orbiters, rovers, and human crews to interact within a unified environment. By merging innovation in distributed simulation with strict SMP2 compliance, we helped establish the baseline for the future “digital twins” that will power human and robotic exploration of the Moon and Mars.

Enhancing the National Earth Observation capability by supporting the HELEO Microsatellite Constellation, seven microsatellites equipped with advanced cameras capable of capturing high-resolution images and data.

EMTECH introduces disruptive innovation (AI-driven onboard applications) to a project of national strategic importance. We combine the agility of modern AI tools with our rigorous expertise in magnetic cleanliness and ADCS testing. The result is a constellation that operates with the precision of a legacy institutional system, powered by the intelligence of the new space era.

As prime contractor, EMTECH led the design, development, launch, and operation of two 8U CubeSats (HELIOS and SELENE) for Earth Observation and pioneering optical communication experimentation.

HSD represents the ultimate synergy of New Space innovation and Institutional precision. We utilize the flexibility of CubeSats for rapid deployment while safeguarding them with institutional-grade simulations and proprietary ADCS test facilities.

Tailored validation solutions for CubeSats and microsatellites delivered through our dedicated, state-of-the-art testing facility. We ensure total attitude control by replicating in-orbit magnetic conditions directly on Earth.

Combining institutional-grade precision with the agility Small-Sats require, our dedicated facility (3D Helmholtz coils & air-bearing) accurately recreates in-orbit magnetic conditions. This innovative approach enables precise ADCS testing and verification, mitigating mission risk long before launch.

A family of fixed multi-magnetometer facilities for high-accuracy magnetic signature measurement and modeling. Designed to support the testing and qualification of spacecraft systems and payloads, the MMF plays a critical role in ensuring that magnetic emissions are precisely measured and controlled.

The installation of the MMF at ESA ESTEC’s central cleanroom in 2017 is a testament to EMTECH’s technical excellence. By bridging institutional rigor with constant innovation—including AI-powered analysis and advanced digital acquisition—we have kept this infrastructure at the forefront of European testing.

Creation of advanced, high-fidelity operational simulators for three critical ESA Earth Observation missions using the ESA/ESOC SIMULUS framework. Our multiple spacecraft subsystem models ensure mission readiness, operational validation, and long-term stability.

Instead of isolated solutions, we designed a unified, reusable simulator architecture. By balancing development flexibility with strict adherence to ESA standards, we significantly reduced preparation time and lifecycle costs for our client, TERMA.

Design and development of the Operational Simulator (OPSIM) and the Mass Memory Unit (MMU) for Europe’s first reusable spacecraft. A pivotal contribution to securing autonomous flight, safe re-entry, and overall data integrity.

EMTECH was trusted by two different partners to secure the Space Rider mission. By bridging New Space agility with strict ESA/ECSS standards, we developed high-fidelity models for critical subsystems and the Mass Memory Unit, guaranteeing total flight reliability.

Independent Software Verification and Validation (ISVV) specifically performed on the tailored PUS-C library and the On-Board Macro Procedures (OBMPs) of the CRISTAL mission, ensuring the integrity and high reliability of the flight software.

Rigor is the hallmark of our work here: we performed exhaustive audits on Airbus’s flight software while maintaining the agility to adapt to demanding mission timelines. Our intervention ensured flawless performance under extreme polar conditions.

EMTECH performed ISVV on the flight software of scientific payloads (DPU and RIME) for ESA’s JUICE mission. This provides mission-critical assurance for reliable operation in harsh deep-space environments.

For a mission to Jupiter, durability is everything. EMTECH applied institutional expertise and innovation in testing methodologies to provide Airbus with the assurance that these scientific payloads will perform for years, despite intense radiation.
