Thales Alenia Space selected Arquimea to design and manufacture the complete structural model and thermal system for the quantum communications payload.
Arquimea has more than 20 years of experience in the space sector.
Arquimea's contribution to QKD-GEO includes the design, manufacturing, integration, and verification of the satellite's key thermal elements.
Arquimea completed the test model of the structure and thermal system for the QKD-GEO quantum key distribution payload from geostationary orbit.
Francisco Gutiérrez is the director of satellites and systems at Arquimea Space.
Arquimea Space will contribute thermal control and mechanisms technology to IRIS².
CanarySat is part of the Arquimea group.
Carlos Ramos is an aerospace engineer at Arquimea Space.
The Tenerife initiative includes a teleporto and satellite tracking station project funded by the European Union and promoted with Canarysat, a company of the Arquimea group, in Tenerife.
Arquimea has appointed Antonio Abad as the new director general of CanarySat Satellite Services.
CanarySat will lead the future Ka-band communications LEO satellite constellation powered by Arquimea to offer global, secure, and low-latency connectivity services.
Arquimea also participated in the thermal system of the communications laser terminal, which transmits high-speed data between satellites and ground stations.
Arquimea designed and supplied Loop Heat Pipes, arterial Heat Pipes, and radiators to ensure thermal stability during operations.
The Sentinel-1D project involved the participation of six Spanish companies that are part of the Spanish Association of Technology Companies for Defense, Security, Aeronautics, and Space (Tedae): Alter, Arquimea, GMV, HV Sistemas, Sener, and Thales Alenia Space.
Arquimea developed essential thermal control system components for the Sentinel-1D satellite and manufactured heat pipes that transfer heat between subsystems.
Arquimea designed and qualified application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to control and monitor the performance of the active antennas.
Arquimea contributed technical knowledge and manufacturing capabilities in two critical areas for SpainSat NG II.
Arquimea was responsible for the co-engineering, detailed design, and manufacturing of the thermal control system for the active antenna of the satellite.
Arquimea fabricated and qualified two microchips, one analog and one digital, for control, telemetry data measurement, and pointing of the active antenna.
Arquimea participates in the QKD-GEO program, which is the first Spanish geostationary system for quantum key distribution by satellite, led by Thales Alenia Space.
