Space heritage

Our HyperSat Eagle microsatellite platform gained space heritage (TRL9) in August 2024 during the EagleEye mission on SpaceX Transporter-11, followed by HyperSat Kestrel in 2025. The electronic subsystems designed and manufactured by us have successfully performed in multiple commercial (e.g., ICEYE-X2), research (e.g., OPS-SAT), and beyond-LEO scientific missions, reaching as far as Jupiter’s moons (JUICE). Learn more below.

Turnkey Space Solutions

We specialize in designing customized space missions tailored to our clients’ specific needs. Our comprehensive solutions cover all aspects of the mission, including technology, legal compliance, and operations. This allows you to focus on your core business objectives while we take care of the details.

ECSS standards and industry’s best practices

As the saying goes, space is hard. To make it easier, we build on the best practices established in the space industry, both old and new. We follow tailored ECSS standards and have achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for the design and manufacture of electronic devices and Earth observation services. All our flight hardware is assembled on-site in a dedicated ISO 7 cleanroom.

 

Experienced team

Our team, working on advanced satellite projects, is made up of experienced specialists and engineers, including former NASA and ESA employees. Additionally, it is supported by Creotech Instruments’ broader research & development team, consisting of engineers with extensive experience in working with complex electronics.

All our space systems have operated flawlessly – a track record we are dedicated to maintaining in future missions. This success is the result of a talented team of over 240 individuals employees (and growing!).

Adaptable to Your Needs

Our satellite platform can support you whether you’re aiming for Earth observation, in-orbit technology demonstration, communications, security, science, exploration, space logistics, or something else altogether. From a ~16U CubeSat equivalent to a microsatellite over 150kg – HyperSat can do it all.

Satellite as a Service

We can deliver a complete mission, enabling our customers to focus on their objectives. Let us guide you through the entire process, from defining the mission design, to mission registration, payload integration, and launch. And even beyond – we are eager to support you in mission operations from our own Mission Control Centre, seamlessly integrating into your operational model.

Space at arm’s length

We bring space closer to your reach by combining the best practices from both established and emerging industries. By adhering to the highest quality standards (ECSS), we aim to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Additionally, we leverage the New Space approach, utilizing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and agile engineering management practices.
