Separation mechanisms maintain satellites integrated with the launch vehicle during launch by resisting vibrations, accelerations, and temperature changes.

Sateliot reached an agreement with UARX Space to integrate UARX Space’s separation ring into Sateliot’s new Tritó satellite.

The SAU&RON separation ring system is capable of working with payloads of up to 1,000 kilos.

Separation mechanisms enable satellites to be released from the launch vehicle in a controlled, orderly, and safe manner so they can reach their intended orbit.

The collaboration between Sateliot and UARX Space strengthens the Spanish and European space ecosystem’s ability to integrate mission-critical technologies and gain traction in the global market.

UARX Space is a Galician company specializing in the development of deployment systems and advanced in-orbit logistics solutions.

Sateliot’s Tritó satellites incorporate dual-use capability to support applications in security, civil protection, and defense.

Sateliot’s Tritó satellites will provide connectivity to IoT devices and will be capable of connecting mobile phones with data, voice, and video services.

Sateliot plans to expand a constellation consisting of hundreds of satellites.

Sateliot is a Catalan operator of 5G NTN IoT satellite telecommunications.

UARX Space will supply separation rings from its SAU&RON family for the Tritó satellite.

The SAU&RON separation ring system is designed for missions requiring precision and reliability in on-orbit release.

Sateliot’s new generation Tritó satellites feature higher payload operational power, producing a qualitative jump in capacity and performance.
