VENG S.A.

VENG S.A. is an Argentine engineering and manufacturing company founded in 2007 that provides high-value technological services and development for the national space activity. It is the principal industrial contractor to CONAE, Argentina's National Space Activities Commission, and leads development of the Tronador II satellite launch vehicle programme, covering the full value chain from requirements definition through design, simulation, manufacturing, testing, qualification and vehicle integration.

The company's engineering scope spans liquid-propellant rocket engines (including the MCA2, MCA3, MES3K, MT-B, 4TR4, M150, MR500KB2 and RS-2 motor families), friction-stir-welded aluminum structural/propellant tanks and carbon-fibre composite pressure vessels (COPV) for gas storage, avionics such as the Antartix FPGA-based onboard computer and the SVD digital video system for launch vehicles, and RF/ground-segment infrastructure. VENG operates the Mission Control Centre for the SAOCOM Earth-observation satellite constellation and runs ground stations in Córdoba and Tierra del Fuego.

VENG's heritage traces through Argentina's sounding-rocket and experimental-vehicle programme: the VS-30 sounding rocket (2007), the Tronador I 1B vehicle (2008), and the VEx experimental vehicle series (VEx-1A/1B in 2014, VEx-5A in 2017) that validated navigation, guidance and control, and propulsion technologies later used on Tronador II. The company also supported the SAC-D/Aquarius (2011) and SAOCOM 1A/1B (2018/2020) satellite missions built for CONAE. VENG holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and partners with international organisations including ESA, Telespazio, MDA and satellite operators such as Satellogic and Viasat.
