Following the contribution to ESA’s Arctic Weather Satellite, Active Space Technologies is now supporting the EPS-STERNA programme, EUMETSAT’s next generation weather satellite constellation. Comprising 22 satellites, the system will provide more frequent atmospheric observations to improve weather forecasting.
AST is responsible for the development and manufacturing of the Platform Structure and the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) required to support each satellite through launch preparation.
