buying a
satellite
At GomSpace, we support customers across commercial, institutional, and defense sectors, from initial concept through launch and in-orbit operations, using proven platforms and flexible delivery models. We have built a reputation for crafting some of the most reliable and versatile satellites in the industry, all backed by a proven track record of successful missions.
WE’RE NOT JUST BUILDING SATELLITES – WE’RE BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES
GomSpace brings nearly two decades of experience helping nations establish real, operational space capability. Since 2007, 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.
To support different mission needs and organizational preferences, GomSpace offers different delivery models — enabling customers to choose the level of responsibility, involvement, and ownership that best fits their mission. Whether you require full mission delivery, a flight-ready satellite platform, or hands-on development using proven building blocks, our satellite solutions provide a clear and scalable path to orbit.
THREE WAYS TO BUILD YOUR SATELLITE
END-TO-END MISSIONS
Looking for a partner to deliver your complete satellite mission?
This model is ideal for customers seeking a reliable, low-risk path to orbit with minimal internal overhead.
GomSpace delivers satellite missions across the full lifecycle, from early concept development through launch, on-orbit commissioning, and operations. As an integrated partner, we take responsibility for system design, satellite development, integration, testing, launch preparation, and mission execution, combining proven platforms with mission expertise and tailored engineering.
FLIGHT-READY SATELLITES
Prefer to retain mission ownership while relying on a proven satellite platform?
This model is ideal for customers who want to focus on payload development and operations while minimizing satellite development risk and schedule complexity.
GomSpace delivers a fully integrated and qualified satellite tailored to your payload and mission requirements, while you retain responsibility for mission definition and operations. We manage satellite design, manufacturing, integration, and testing—delivering a spacecraft ready for launch.
BUILD YOUR OWN SATELLITE
Looking for maximum control and hands-on involvement in your satellite build?
This model is ideal for technology development, training, and organizations building long-term in-house satellite capability.
GomSpace Platform Kits enable teams to build their own satellite using qualified, flight-proven components and architectures. You retain direct control over assembly, integration, and testing, supported by comprehensive documentation and optional engineering support.

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.
