The modern space industry places great demands on mission designers and systems engineers. Both end-user expectations and the competition are higher than ever, and this means that every development needs to be the best it can be.
At the same time, the available capacity and expertise in the industry today is enormous. The NewSpace era, and broader sector growth, has meant that hundreds of suppliers all round the world have built up significant expertise in all aspects of space mission development and operation.
There are now many experts available to hire to help turn your mission plans into in-orbit realities. Provided you can identify the right vendors and services for your project, of course.
That’s where satsearch comes in. In this resource you can view a wide variety of different specialist mission development and engineering services, from experienced suppliers across the global supply chain, covering areas such as:
- Space qualification and Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT)
- Design, manufacturing, and other aspects of equipment engineering
- Testing and measurement of hardware, processes, and facilities
- Payload design, platform setup and interfacing, and deployable system development
- Workshops and training courses to up-skill engineers
Please note that in this resource we’ve chosen to focus only on dedicated services available for teams during the mission development process and have elected not to include services that are for specific aspects of mission operations (such as launch or space situational awareness) or software tools or systems that are purchased separately.
Use the links below to find out more about each service and to make requests for quotes, direct supplier introductions, or further information. You can also submit a higher-level request for the services needed on your mission, project, or program at this link. Our expert procurement team will be in touch with suitable options ASAP.
