Beyond Gravity

In less than a week 🛰 the Small Sat conference in Utah starts. We are proud to sponsor a weekday session at the show. Look for our Beyond Gravity video and sponsor recognition at the "Year in Review" session on Monday at 1:45 pm in the Aggie Recreation Center. The 38th Annual Small Satellite Conference (SmallSat) will focus on how automation is being integrated into smallsat systems. To learn more, visit: https://smallsat.org/

Beyond Gravity is proud to be a key partner in helping our customer United Launch Alliance (ULA) achieve its goal of doubling the rate of rocket launches in the future. We not only supply payload fairings for the Atlas V from our facility in Decatur, Alabama. We are also supplying various structures (payload fairings, heat shields, payload attachments and interstage adapters) for the #Vulcan, which had its first flight earlier this year. We look forward to the future together with our customer ULA. 🚀 ❤️ 🤝

For the next generation of the Airbus-built European Galileo 🛰 navigation satellites we provide the structure (satellite chassis). Recently, the satellite structure left our production site in Zurich Seebach. It is the second structure we delivered. Six Galileo Second Generation satellites are being built by Airbus’ site in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The other six satellites are being built by Thales Alenia Space in Italy. The second generation Galileo navigation satellites will help improve accuracy of the European Global Navigation Satellite System. Galileo began delivering services in 2016. Nowadays it is serving nearly four billion users worldwide. The Galileo constellation’s satellites are orbiting Earth 🌍 at an altitude of over 23,000 kilometres.

The next European environmental satellite called #Sentinel2C arrived at Europe's spaceport in Kourou (South America) 🌴 We provided various products to this mission, e.g. the solar array drive mechanisms and the satellite's navigation receiver 🧭

It’s two weeks until #SmallSat conference in Utah starts. Our team will be on-site to inform about our product portfolio – ranging from mechanisms, structures, electronics to thermal solutions and ground support equipment. As well as about current projects.

It is a matter of time until the next asteroid ☄ hits our planet Earth 🌎 The European Hera spacecraft will perform a detailed post-impact survey of the world’s first test of asteroid deflection, performed by a NASA mission. Recently, European Space Agency - ESA Hera asteroid mission for planetary defense was placed back in its transport container for the latest phase in its test campaign. Launch is scheduled for October 🚀 We provided to Hera for example the spacecraft's solar wings and the Hera backbone. More about the latest milestone: https://lnkd.in/eQPrwFC3 Hera is a follow-up mission of the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration DART mission. Image credit: ESA

Meet the Beyond Gravity Summer Associates in Decatur, USA. Cullen Rath, Cole Lenhart, Gabriel Campos , Constance Wang, Zach Hodgdon, Kyle Hughes and Ezekiel Kuntz. During their internship, the young talents will gain insights into space industry and work on various projects. Encouraging young talents is particularly important to us, as they are the foundation of our future achievements. We are delighted that they have decided to spend their summer with us. 🚀 😎

The next European weather satellite has successfully passed its environmental test campaign 👏 The Meteosat Third Generation Sounder satellite 🛰️ will also carry the Copernicus Sentinel-4 instrument to monitor air pollution. Beyond Gravity developed a highly accurate mechanical scanner for Sentinel-4. The scanner will allow for instance to detect emissions from ships 🚢 far from the coast. To learn more about the latest milestone of the satellite, visit the European Space Agency - ESA website 👉 https://lnkd.in/gpbWSER2 Image: MTG-S1 satellite in the anechoic chamber Image credit: IABG

The European Juice spacecraft (Jupiter Icy moons Explorer) will study Jupiter (the largest planet in our Solar System) and three of its icy moons. In about one month Juice will make a fly-by at Earth. This ‘braking’ manoeuvre will take the Juice spacecraft on a shortcut to Jupiter via Venus. The European Space Agency - ESA’s Juice spacecraft is controlled by our On Board Computer from our site in Gothenburg, Sweden. We also provided structures, an antenna and the thermal insulation for the Juice mission 👉 https://lnkd.in/d-W-72aH More about the fly-by: https://lnkd.in/db-6tHfY Image credit: ESA, ATG Medialab
