Spacecraft with deployed solar arrays above Earth

Orbital systems

AerospaceSpacecraft, launch, operations

Segal Aerospace builds spacecraft, integrates the payload and the launch, and operates the mission.

Aerospace

An integrated approach to orbital systems.

Spacecraft, payloads, avionics, launch, and mission operations, in one aerospace program.

Floor

Spacecraft integration brings the payload, structure, power, thermal control, and flight software into one mission architecture.

The problem

Space missions depend on closely matched spacecraft, payload, launch, and ground systems. Decisions made in one area affect the performance, cost, and schedule of the entire mission.

What we build

Spacecraft, avionics, payload interfaces, and operations software are one program. The mission sets the platform from definition through integration.

What we need from you

  • What data, communications service, or payload outcome must the mission support?
  • Which mass, power, orbit, and operating-life requirements define the spacecraft?
  • What ground infrastructure and operational responsibilities will the mission require?

What the work includes

  • Spacecraft configuration covering payload accommodation, power, avionics, and data interfaces.
  • Launch compatibility and an integration plan extending through spacecraft separation.
  • Ground-segment and operations requirements supported by a common mission planning environment.
