Project description
Quicker pictures of the planet
Belgium-based VEOWARE S.P.R.L has long focused on space technology. It is currently designing and developing Attitude Control Technologies that are expected to offer groundbreaking capabilities in the field of Earth Observation (EO). Specifically, the developed technologies allow an EO satellite to rotate faster around Earth axes, enabling up to 10 times more imagery of the planet compared to traditional methods used to date. The enhanced capability also comes at reduced costs, intended for small-class satellites between 50-500 kgs for which there is no similar technology on the market. Related technology has only been available for large and costly satellites weighing up to 3 tons.
Objective
VEOWARE S.P.R.L is a Belgian SME company, focused on the Space Sector, currently designing and developing Attitude Control Technologies. The technologies being developed are expected to disrupt the market by enhancing the future capabilities of Earth Observation (EO) satellites in combination with reducing the cost of EO imagery. In brief detail the technology being developed allows an EO satellite to rotate faster around it axes quickly enabling up to 10 times more imagery of the planet to be collected compared to traditional solutions.
The technology referred to as a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) currently only exists for large and costly satellites weighing from 1 ton to 3 tons. The current goal of VEOWARE is to develop this technology for satellites of a smaller class between 50-500 kg for which there is no similar technology on the market.
The goal of this proposed SME Phase-1 activity is to:
1. Develop the business plan with the complete Customer-Supplier chain
2. Identify and review the risks to be mitigated within the technology Supply Chain
3. Work with the Belgian and European Governments/Agencies to understand further the regulatory background of the technology
