Other Space Projects
C3S also participated in several projects that resulted in the expansion of our product portfolio or in the further development of our already existing products, hence increasing quality and quantity.
HERMES
HERMES
HERMES SP is a mission concept based on a constellation of nano-satellites in LEO, hosting new detectors to probe the X-ray temporal emission of bright high-energy transients. C3S supports the H2020 founded project amongst other tasks with preliminary trade-off’s and with own Ground Station design to demonstrate the communication. Expected close-out is in 2022 TRL9.
S3S
Development of multipurpose, thermally optimized satellite structure product line
In the course of this project – considering long-term goals as well – the main aim was to develop such mechanical architectures for cubesats, that facilitates the easier and shorter-term assembly of high quality, mission-oriented small satellites, when compared to our competitors.
As a result, our team developed 3, 6 and 12U structures, complying with cubesat standards, providing the optimal framework for small satellites.
RDSP – Radiation hardened digital space technology
The scope of this project was the research & development of a small-sized, compact, radiation hardened space technology that offers easy customization and fast manufacturability, along with low power consumption.
The project was a success. At its closure, our team developed the prototype of a complex, high reliability, radiation hardened power supply system, suitable for small satellites.
SatCOMM – S-band satellite communication module
In the course of this project C3S aims to develop a new technology-based, small satellite communication system, that offers a solution for one of the present-day problems of the evolution of the small satellite world.
The SatCOMM module will be able to replace the amateur, mostly “home-made” communication systems assembled during the construction of small satellites, in a way that it will be able to serve professional, civilian and industrial needs.
AI ON BOARD
Development of high-performance artificial intelligence boosting on-board computer hardware for small and large satellites
The mission is a collaborative project between C3S, a high reliable nanosat developer company and AIMotive a leading provider of camera-first, AI powered, Level 5 autonomous driving technology. The results of this collaboration are expected to accelerate the commercialization of a wide range of services for both specialized and mass-market applications, such as IoT, telecommunications, Earth and space observation, autonomous satellite operation, docking support, asteroid mining etc.
Establishing and expanding new design, manufacturing and integration capacity
In many areas of the aerospace and space industry, small series production and assembly are required in addition to prototype production processes. C3S had to outsource most part of these tasks, mainly to foreign partners, since such production capacity did not exist in Hungary until now.
This is one of the reasons why the company plans to build new capacity and expand the old one. Within the framework of this project, C3S also intends to expand the instrument park, which will enable multiple and parallel testing of high-reliability and safety-critical systems.
Development of manufacturing capacity at C3S
The aim of the development is to support C3S in balancing all the negative economical effects that Brexit caused. The capacity enhancment will positively effect the number of deliverable satellites per year.
