PROMOTER: Ricardo, Domingos & Bergano LDA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: ESA BIC Portugal

Our project aims to revolutionise satellite launch operations through the development of an innovative communication and tracking system specifically designed for small portable launcher companies, contributing to New Space initiatives.

By integrating cutting-edge Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology, our system delivers efficient data processing, high bandwidth capabilities, and advanced design. It ensures superior performance, mobility, cost-effectiveness, and seamless trailer integration, adaptable across various launch environments. Key features include real-time intervention, precise trajectory monitoring, and customer-focused support. The project’s goal is to create a Minimum Viable Product that will establish us as pioneers in the Portuguese space market.

Our competitive edge lies in advanced technology integration, real-time responsiveness, and dedication to customer satisfaction. Unlike competitors relying on outdated datasets, our access to real-time, high-quality sensor data enhances operational efficiency and service quality. Our target market encompasses satellite launch operators, space technology providers, governmental agencies, aerospace firms, and emerging space sectors. We address their need for precise trajectory adherence and rapid intervention before satellites reach orbit, preventing costly adjustments, lifespan reduction, or the generation of space debris.

OBJECTIVES:

1. Develop a communication and tracking system tailored for small launcher companies using SDR technology
2. Ensure real-time trajectory monitoring and intervention capabilities to prevent orbital disruptions.
3. Integrate cost-effective, mobile solutions adaptable to various launch environments.
4. Strengthen customer support and service quality through advanced technology and real-time data access.
