ÅAC through its Clyde Space subsidiary has won its first launch contract. This order from the Israeli company NSLComm is a follow-on order from an initial 6U Satellite purchase. The contract is of strategical importance for the group, marking a key milestone as its first end-to-end mission delivery. The launch date is set for the end of 2018. The total order value for the mission is approximately 16.7 MSEK of which 10.8 MSEK is expected to be invoiced during 2018.
ÅAC will provide a turnkey mission service which includes everything from satellite design, manufacture & test, launch, on orbit operations to NSLComm's data provision. A successful mission could potentially lead to larger constellation orders. The 6U spacecraft, NSLSat1, will demonstrate highly disruptive deployable antenna technology providing Ka-band communications from space.
Serving the fast-growing communications market, the ÅAC-Clyde platform range accommodates this prevailing trend of constellation programmes requiring real-time global coverage.
- This strategic order illustrates both a vote in confidence from NSLComm in ÅAC's end-to-end mission service capabilities and demonstrates our ability to provide high-quality customer solutions within industry leading timeframes, says Craig Clark MBE, Founder & CSO.
