SENER has been providing ground support equipment for over 40 years, initially related to launchers. It was with the Spacelab mission that he developed onboard equipment, with 165 ground support equipment and led a consortium of European companies. Since then it has been increasing its degree of responsibility in this technological field, until becoming a world reference company.
In Europe there are very few companies trained to design specialized satellite integration equipment. SENER has extensive experience in the manufacture of Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) and in the assembly of satellites, which is a great engineering challenge, since each satellite is virtually unique in its class. These structures weigh between several hundred kilos and several tons and consist of thousands of pieces and kilometers of cables.
Currently, SENER has successfully manufactured and tested thirteen MGSE components for the assembly of satellites in the scientific space probe Euclid, the largest set of MGSE equipment.
