BLU ELECTRONIC Srl

BLU Electronic is an Italian company that designs electronic boards and equipment. It was founded in 1998 and is based in Desio, near Milan. Its main work is in the space and avionics fields. Avionics means the electronic systems used in aircraft.

The company describes itself as an electronic systems design house. It helps develop, build, test and combine highly reliable equipment for other companies and space agencies. Its skills include digital, analogue and mixed signal electronics, control systems, and embedded and real time software.

BLU Electronic lists several space programs it takes part in. One is Space Rider, an uncrewed robotic laboratory that will launch on a Vega-C rocket and stay in low orbit for about two months. It will then return to Earth and land on a runway. The company also names the Artemis program for the Moon, the Cygnus cargo spacecraft that serves the International Space Station, and large scientific satellite platforms.

The company started its aero work in 2007. In 2009 it became certified to the UNI EN 9100 standard, an aerospace quality standard, and it says it still holds that certificate. In 2010 it became part of Lombardia Aerospace. The company aims to link low cost space missions with products built to aircraft standards.

BLU Electronic also developed a time and frequency synchronisation system called SITEF. The site explains that satellite navigation signals can be jammed or faked. This is a problem for broadcast, telecom and electric power networks. SITEF was built to address that risk.

The company is involved in Clean Sky, which it calls the largest European aeronautics research program. The aim of that program is cleaner aviation. The legal notice on the site says the company is under the direction and coordination of Logic S.p.A.

The BLU Electronic website has pages on its space programs, its innovation and research work, and its history. It also has a contact area that lists business hours from 09.00 to 18.00 Central European Time, Monday to Friday.
