Segment

Ground / Mission Control / Test Benches / Innovation & Research

We are working directly with MaiaSpace to develop the Control Command Maia infrastructure and their complete suite of electrical ground support equipment. MaiaSpace is developing the first reusable and eco-responsible microlauncher in Europe. As their strategic engineering partner, we lead the system engineering trade-offs and define the core architecture for their control systems.

We designed a generic electrical ground support equipment platform that allows us to rapidly deploy specific test benches like AITCHEBEST and AIT DEMO4. This modular approach reduces development time for the client. We also deliver the QM2 bench and execute the firing tests.

Our scope includes developing the Mission Manager prototype, the human machine interfaces, and the necessary preparation and generation tools. To support the complete validation lifecycle, we are upgrading our Barcelona platform to serve as a full Iron Bird equivalent. This allows us to validate their avionics directly from our headquarters. Finally, we are delivering the preliminary design for the operational Kourou control benches at the Guiana Space Centre. We also provide dedicated support for the TCTE development.
