Space Hardware

About

Space Next, part of the SPACE‑NEXT project, develops space‑grade hardware solutions for European satellite missions. The team pioneers radiation‑hardened semiconductor technologies that endure harsh radiation, while also creating secure communication protocols and data‑processing units to protect sensitive information. Energy‑efficient components and system architectures are designed to minimize power consumption and extend satellite lifetimes. System‑level validation and prototyping services de‑risk missions and accelerate technology deployment. By integrating materials, devices, chip architectures, communications, and validation, the initiative delivers resilient hardware prototypes, strengthening Europe’s position in space technology. The ecosystem unites academia, industry, and space stakeholders to foster innovation and advancement.
