Areas of activity
Design of small spacecraft
Design, creation, launch and operation of high-tech small spacecraft in orbit. Adaptation of small spacecraft to the needs of the customer.
Space instrumentation engineering
Full cycle from development to preparation for launch of various types of on-board satellite equipment, including control units, orientation and stabilization devices, controllers for performing various tasks in the areas of telemetry, power management, etc.
Chip design
Design of radiation-resistant and integrated circuits for space and special purposes.
Full-cycle production
Full-cycle production at Novosibirsk Akademgorodok
As of today, with the efforts of our employees and partners in Akademgorodok, we efficiently handle tasks of almost any complexity (both in technical and scientific domains) without the need for additional resources
Production with the use of modern equipment
We are actively involved in the development of the Shared Facilities Center of the Technopark. Currently, it is a large technological complex with modern equipment
