Your mission. Your pace. Your level of autonomy.
GomSpace empowers organizations to build and scale satellite capabilities according to their needs. From complete end-to-end mission delivery to highly autonomous operations, we provide the flexibility, expertise, and proven technology required to support evolving business and mission objectives.
We simplify complexity. You choose how much support you need.
We Manage the Complexity.
You Capture the Opportunity.
Over two decades, GomSpace has supported hundreds of customers and delivered technologies across a wide range of challenging missions. Our products, platforms, and subsystems have been tested repeatedly in real-world operational environments.
Our technology has been deployed in more than 60 countries — across defense, national security, environmental monitoring, and advanced mission programmes. Our satellite platforms serves as a reliable and proven foundation, streamlining the integration process and reducing development time and costs. The versatility of integrated customer payloads allows for a wide range of applications.
As a customer-centric company, we are dedicated to provide you and your team with exceptional solutions and services. From the moment you make a purchase to well after delivery, our committed support team is here to guarantee that your experience is nothing less than excellent.
Every organization has different ambitions. Some want a turnkey solution. Others want to build their own capabilities over time. GomSpace provides a flexible engagement model that supports both.
We don’t force customers into a model. We enable them to choose theirs.
We take care of the complexity across the entire mission lifecycle:
- Satellite design
- Component sourcing
- Regulatory compliance
- Launch management
- Integration
- Operations
- Mission support
One partner. End-to-end execution. No unnecessary burden on the customer.
THREE WAYS TO BUILD YOUR SATELLITE
END-TO-END MISSIONS
Fastest path to mission success.
For organizations looking to deploy space capabilities quickly and confidently, GomSpace takes responsibility for the entire mission.
From system design and sourcing to regulatory compliance, launch services, and operations, we manage every step.
• Rapid deployment
• Reduced risk
• Minimal resource burden
• Immediate access to proven expertise
Focus on your mission. We handle the complexity.
FLIGHT-READY SATELLITES
More ownership. Proven foundation.
As customers develop internal capabilities, GomSpace provides the spacecraft platform while the customer integrates their payload. This approach combines the reliability of a flight-proven satellite bus with greater mission ownership and customization.
• Greater control
• Faster development
• Reduced technical risk
• Flexible mission design
Build your mission on a platform trusted by hundreds of customers.
BUILD YOUR OWN SATELLITE
Accelerating operational independence.
For customers seeking greater autonomy, GomSpace provides the technologies, subsystems, and expertise needed to build and operate their own satellite capabilities. We remain a trusted partner while customers gain increasing independence.
• Operational autonomy
• Sovereign capabilities
• Internal competency development
• Long-term flexibility
Independence when you want it. Support when you need it.

We help shape your concept into a mission plan, provide expert project leadership, and ensure clear technical guidance through requirements definition, design reviews, integration, and launch preparation. Our experienced team collaborates with you to manage complexity and keep your mission on schedule and aligned with your goals.
Satellite Build, Integration, and Testing
At the heart of our service is deep engineering capability and world-class facilities. GomSpace designs, builds, integrates, and qualifies satellites using proven architectures and industry-grade processes. Our facilities are equipped for advanced assembly, integration, and testing, supported by comprehensive documentation, quality systems, and engineering support that ensure your spacecraft meets mission requirements while reducing risk.
Ground Operations and Mission Control
Following launch, our commitment continues with customer-oriented mission support and operations. HOOP (Hands-off Operations Platform) is GomSpace’s mission control software, designed to automate, scale, and simplify satellite operations. It supports missions ranging from single satellites to full constellations, enabling real-time tasking, secure operations, and seamless ground station integration.
With HOOP, customers benefit from efficient on-orbit commissioning and operations through a proven, scalable platform built on GomSpace’s operational heritage. provide the infrastructure, tools, and expertise needed for on-orbit commissioning, telemetry and control, and data handling, so your mission performs as intended.
TRUSTED BY CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE
step by step
From Concept to Operations
PHASE 1
Mission Consultation
The journey begins with a close dialogue to understand mission objectives, requirements, constraints, and desired level of involvement. This phase establishes the foundation for a successful mission.
PHASE 2
Concept Agreement
A shared mission concept is defined and agreed, including scope, responsibilities, schedule, and high-level system architecture.
PHASE 3
System Design
The satellite system is designed in detail, covering platform configuration, payload integration, interfaces, and mission performance to meet defined requirements.
PHASE 4
Assembly, Integration, and Verification
The satellite is assembled and integrated, followed by systematic verification to ensure all subsystems perform as intended at system level.
PHASE 5
Testing and Launch Preparation
Environmental, functional, and acceptance testing are completed, and the satellite is prepared for launch, including documentation and launch provider coordination.
PHASE 6
Launch and Early Operations Phase
Following launch, GomSpace supports spacecraft commissioning and early operations to verify performance and transition the mission into nominal operations.
PHASE 7
Mission Operation & Control
The satellite enters its full operations phase, supported by HOOP (Hands-Off Operations Platform), which automates, scales, and simplifies satellite mission control.
With the IOD-1 satellite, Startical has taken its first steps in space towards its vision of deploying a global constellation of small satellites to provide continuous real-time communication with aircraft over oceanic or remote areas where no such services are in operation today. We thank GomSpace for their dedication and constructive collaboration to reach this goal.
