Pioneers in PicoSat technology,
Traditionally satellites have been very expensive, even the smallest commercial satellites like Cubesats cost six-figure amounts to build and launch. Alba Orbital develop pico-Satellites which weigh <1kg, and cost significantly less. While, offering almost all of the advantages of a CubeSat. Being leaders in this niche, they are closely partnered with ESA and provide research in this area to them.
AlbaOrbital aims to ‘democratise’ space, allowing affordable access to anyone. They are currently working on 2 platforms – Unicorn-1 and Unicorn-2 and will be launching Unicorn-1 in Q2 2017.
AlbaOrbital also provide technical support and parts for those launching, designing and building picoSatellites.
