Throughout our extensive history in space exploration, not a single one of the numerous pieces of equipment provided by Sener has ever malfunctioned during a mission.
We blend technologies and systems to provide tailored solutions that meet the unique requirements of every mission.
We provide essential equipment for the premier science and communication initiatives of the world’s top space agencies and operators. Our proficiency in designing and manufacturing electromechanical components and mission-critical space systems is vital for the success of these programs.
The equipment we handle from design through to manufacture and integration includes antenna deployment systems, reflectors, masts, and various structures, all boasting a 100% operational success rate.
Effective communication and Earth observation hinge on advanced pointing and scanning mechanisms. These technologies enhance environmental awareness and improve the quality of life for people around the globe.
We deliver cutting-edge pointing and scanning mechanisms for both telecommunication and scientific satellites, including the high-precision image-capturing scanner for the latest Meteosat satellite generation, which delivers exceptionally clear imagery of our planet’s environment.
At Sener, we are advancing alongside the space industry’s push towards smaller, cost-effective structures for launches. These structures must also be designed for assembly in space to meet the needs for larger spacecraft and structures that future missions will demand.
Additionally, human space exploration necessitates dependable and secure docking systems to facilitate astronaut movement between spacecraft under various mission conditions. Sener is already at the forefront of these technologies, setting benchmarks in the field.
With over 40 years of experience, we excel in designing specialised satellite integration equipment (Mechanical Ground Support Equipment – MGSE), beginning with the Spacelab programme and including notable projects like Euclid, Juice, Biomass, Electra, PLATO, and FLEX. We are equipped to design MGSE with weights ranging from several hundred kilograms to several tonnes.
We play a pivotal role in the creation and provision of optical instruments for scientific space missions. Our expertise covers the development of focusing, shutter, and calibration mechanisms, along with entire Optical Systems. Our notable contributions include the M2/M3 and M5 cells of the ELT telescope for the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
