Description
Aurora Space provides cubesat project development, engineering and consulting services, positioning itself as a specialist in small satellite component integration to help reduce risk for future small satellite missions. Their offering spans three main areas: (1) cubesat development, engineering and consulting for satellite integration projects; (2) active remote sensing solutions built on cubesat platforms for smart planning and preventive action, applied to precision agriculture, critical infrastructure monitoring and natural resource survey; and (3) nanosatellite-based communications technology intended as a key enabler for IoT connectivity, offering cost-effective, wide-coverage satellite networks. The company traces its origin to the SUCHAI project, the first Chilean-made satellite, developed at the University of Chile, which represented the founding effort of the Aurora Space team; SUCHAI was successfully launched to space. Aurora Space continues to support next-generation satellite missions being developed with the University of Chile, including a SUCHAI 2 mission and associated flight software work, aiming to supply the technical knowledge and qualified human resources needed for successful space projects. The company team includes CSO, CEO, CTO and CFO roles.
