About NewSpace Systems (NSS)

NewSpace Systems (NSS) is a multinational spacecraft components and subsystems manufacturer headquartered in South Africa, with branches in North America, Europe, and Oceania. As a leader in Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) products, NSS supports the majority of the world's commercial spacecraft manufacturers, including several blue-chip companies and operators of constellations with 500 or more satellites.

NSS's product portfolio spans the full GNC subsystem stack: sun sensors, magnetometers (fluxgate and ring-core), GPS receivers and antennas, reaction wheels, magnetorquer rods, star trackers, and UHF/VHF RF transmitters and transceivers. Each product line is designed for CubeSats, small satellites, and larger platforms, with flight-proven heritage across hundreds of missions. The company exports to more than 33 countries across six continents.

Founded in South Africa, NSS has expanded its global presence to serve international customers more effectively, establishing subsidiaries and representation in key markets. The company's products are known for their reliability, compact form factors, and compatibility with the major small satellite bus architectures used by commercial and scientific operators.

NSS is a trusted component supplier for constellation programs requiring consistent quality at scale, and the company rapidly increases its market share as demand for small satellite GNC subsystems accelerates with the growth of megaconstellations.
