U-Space is one of European leaders in smallsat manufacting. It can design and build small satellites very quickly (one satellite per week) thanks to using already designed and validated technological bricks that allow a faster definition of the architecture of the system. Eventually, U-Space seeks to manufacture one satellite per day for global constellations. Its services also include preliminary study (determining the cost and feasibility of the mission and maintaining the space system in operational conditions. U-Space's smallsats has already demonstrated good space heritage and the high reliability of its in-orbit systems.
