NPC SPACEMIND

SPACEMIND is the space division of NPC New Production Concept, an Italian company. It supplies hardware and services for nanosatellites, CubeSats and other space uses. A nanosatellite is a very small satellite. A CubeSat is a small satellite built from standard cube-shaped units.

The company says it has worked in aerospace research and development since 2013. It reports more than 10 years of experience in the space sector. It aims to turn research into ready-to-launch commercial products. It offers complete solutions that run from concept to orbit.

Its platforms scale up to 16U. They give large payload volumes and power of up to 200 W. Standard buses range from 6U to 16U and come in three setups. The company says its subsystems have flown before and use a modular design. This is meant to make payload fitting easier and cut lead times.

It also makes CubeSat separation systems and a family of CubeSat deployers. These release satellites into orbit. The company says they are flexible to handle, priced competitively and quick to deliver. A range of modular subsystems covers structures, solar panels, power systems and test units. These follow CubeSat standards.

One product is ARTICA, a compact system to bring a satellite out of orbit. It fits the CubeSat format and can be added to any structure. It helps shorten orbit life so a satellite meets international deorbiting rules. The site names several missions and products, such as DANTESAT, ALPHA and the FUTURA series.

The company states its goals plainly. It wants to simplify and speed up access to space. It aims to offer systems that are reliable, cost effective and scalable. It also wants a more responsible and sustainable use of space, for first missions and growing ones alike.

SPACEMIND has offices in Faenza, Italy, and in Houston in the United States. The website has product pages, terms of supply and a contact form. It also shows event news and a careers invitation.
