🚀 Ever wondered how we can reduce space debris efficiently? Discover 𝙈𝙐𝙍𝙋𝙃𝙔, our game-changing solution ! As the space industry continues to expand, managing orbital debris is becoming an ever-greater challenge. Nimesis Technology is leading the charge with our groundbreaking MURPHY Smart HRA, designed specifically for safe, energy-efficient separation of structural elements during atmospheric re-entry. 🌐 Why MURPHY? 𝙈𝙐𝙍𝙋𝙃𝙔 is a high-performance smart actuator that operates without additional energy, activating passively to minimize space junk effectively. This robust and compact solution is equipped with adjustable triggering temperatures up to 400°C, making it ideal for various satellite applications, including telecom-class platforms. 🛰️ Key features: Energy Efficient: Functions without a heater, reducing power consumption. Versatile: Compatible with any satellite, launcher, or space vehicle. Reliable: Engineered to withstand extreme conditions with a high lifetime performance. 💡 Sustainable space solutions: MURPHY is not just a product; it's part of our commitment to sustainable space exploration. By ensuring the controlled deorbit of satellites, MURPHY contributes significantly to our goals of reducing space debris and promoting long-term orbital sustainability. 🔗 Learn More: Discover how MURPHY can transform your space missions by visiting our website : https://nimesis.com/ #SpaceDebris #SpaceTechnology #SustainabilityInSpace #NimesisTechnology #Innovation

Rendering #activedebrisremoval Reliable, Safe and Affordable is key for the long term ##spacesustainability!! Standardised interfaces is the most efficient way to reach these goals, and it is an enabler for #zerodebris and for the development of the #inorbitservicing market. Join this webinar organised by ESA Clean Space and ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications and learn more about the activities we are preparing to gather the community and advance on this topic together. #spacedebris #cleanspace

🚀🛰️We have lift off! We're proud to present our mission patch for Eagle-1! Eagle-1 will be the first space-based quantum key distribution system to be developed under our Partnership Projects, which forms part of the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) programme. The project is a collaboration between us and a consortium of more than 20 European companies led by SES Satellites, with the support of the European Commission. 🗣️Alberto Rubio Blanes, Eagle-1 Project Manager at European Space Agency - ESA, said: “This is a big step for the Partnership Project, which brings Eagle-1 closer to becoming a reality. We saw the creation of the ESA mission patch as a consolidation of the project’s self-identity; a way to thank and recognise the effort of everyone involved and make them feel that they are part of the Eagle-1 family.” 📚Read more 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/d-6Um2Gc 💡Learn more about our Partnership Projects programme, and how you can work with us 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/ewvzrCZ8 ReMedia Group #esa #europeanspaceagency #missionpatch #space #partnership #programme #qkd #quantumkeydistribution #communications #satellitecommunications #satellite #connectivity #innovation #europe #mission #newlaunch #collaboration #european #mission #launch #secure #quantum #quantumcommunications

Time to build zero-debris satellites 🛰️ European Space Agency - ESA is committed ✅ to deliver on the promise of Zero Debris by 2030. To ensure compliant satellites can be designed and built in time, ESA is supporting 🤝🏻 industry during this technologically challenging transition. On 25 June 2024, three major 🇪🇺 European space industry players each signed a contract with ESA to develop large low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite platforms that conform to Zero Debris standards. Airbus Defence and Space, OHB and Thales Alenia Space will design and develop zero-debris platforms for large LEO satellites as a first step towards building zero-debris production lines.

Absolutely correct. Applies to launch vehicles as well.

Congratulations - This initiative is the right step towards a more #sustainable use of satellites in #LEO. As a manufacturer of propulsion systems, #ArianeGroup recognized this need early on. As part of the #ESA initiatives #CleanSpace and #CleanSat, the ArianeGroup portfolio of #spacepropulsion equipment and system solutions was expanded to include, for example: 🛰 Shape Memory Alloy Valves, which allows the passivation of pressurized #propulsionsystems without the typical life limitation of a classical pyrovalve at the end of a satellite life 👉 https://lnkd.in/eFiTbM5s 🛰Dipraghm Propellant Tanks like the DT180, which is designed to demise during re-entry into the Earth atmosphere 👉 https://lnkd.in/encjUzJj 🛰Active #Deorbit Systems, designed for larger LEO #satellites like METOP SG We are ready to support the #development of #ZeroDebris LEO satellites!
