Mini Launch Lock devices for small satellites

ended

Space industry is experiencing the most important paradigm shift in its history with the rise of small satellites and megaconstellations. Satellite miniaturization requires to reduce significantly production and orbit launching costs. To address the new challenge of this manufacturing process and switch from craftsmanship to industrialization, space industry is turning towards other domains looking for new solutions, disruptive technologies, and manufacturing process. Mini Launch Lock devices for small satellites (MiniLLock) proposes innovative actuators on the cutting edge of customer demand. They offer plug and play solutions that can directly be integrated into industry for satellites robotized production. MiniLLock is smaller, lighter, safer, with a longer lifetime and generates significantly less shocks and vibrations than standard actuators such as electromagnet and pyrotechnics. MiniLLock offers performances which have never been reached with any other materials. Nimesis is the only company that can provide such cost-effective actuators suitable to small satellite with high performances and reliability, enabling features previously impossible. MiniLLock will accelerate and leverage the commercialization of Nimesis technology and ensure Europe worldwide leadership and independence in the new space emergent environment. Nimesis ambitions to become the global leader of this domain with a turnover of € 26 million and a market share of 28% in 2027.
