Madrid, January 30, 2025 – Early this morning, a historic milestone was reached for the historic milestone for the Spanish space sectorwith the successful launch of the SpainSat NG I satellite. Grupo Oesía, through its Tecnobit division, is one of the Spanish companies participating in this event.division, is one of the Spanish companies participating in this space program. SpainSat NG is a communications satellite program that includes two satellites: SpainSat NG I and SpainSat NG II.
. Están diseñados with state-of-the-art technologyThere is currently nothing like it. Its function is to operate from a geostationary orbit and to provide secure and reliable communications to the Spanish Armed Forces, government agencies and allies in a wide and allies, over a wide global area. The differential and avant-garde element of these satellites are their active antennas.
. Lo importante de estas antenas es su capacidad de reconfiguración en órbita y que las hace much more powerful than those of current communication satellites. Tecnobit-Oesia Group is supplier of a fundamental part of the electronics of the active antennas.. The electronic cards designed, manufactured and tested by Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía are essential for the operation of the SpainSat NG satellites. Tecnobit’s electronic cards have two main functions: the power distribution (which guarantees that the antenna elements receive the appropriate power at all times) and the radio frequency control (which ensures the management and optimization of the radio signals that the antennas transmit and receive).
The The electronics supplied by Tecnobit must have the useful life of a satellite of these characteristics, which is of at least at least 15 years. Lo que requires it to be prepared to withstand adverse conditions, such as those in space: extreme solar radiation, temperature contrasts, scarcity of available energy sourcesThe project has also been a major challenge for this project, which has been to ensure autonomy and energy efficiency, among other challenges. Another major challenge for this project has been to comply with the rigorous European Space
that ensure the fulfillment of the mission during the satellite’s useful life. Due to the complexity of the manufacturing process of the electronic cards, Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía designed a specific EGSE (Electronic Ground Support Equipment) (Electronic Ground Support Equipment), capable of detecting and identifying any anomaly, even of very low level, during the qualification and testing process in production. The boards have been designed, assembled and tested by Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía in its Technological Center in Valdepeñas (Castilla-La Mancha) for Airbus DS Spain, during almost 4 years of almost 4 years of work and with the involvement of more than 70 highly qualified professionals.
On this historic day, RTVE moved to Valdepeñas, during its program La hora de la 1, and it picked up declarations of Raul Martinez Raúl Martínez, the Production Director of Tecnobit-Grupo Oesía, who highlighted the importance of the company’s participation in the SpainSat NG program..
