About

Beyond Gravity provides transport and shipping containers for satellites of all sizes, from smallsats to the largest geosatellites and deep space spacecraft. We have delivered over 60 spacecraft containers to satellite builders in Europe and the US.

Our pressurized and non-pressurized containers protect your satellite during road, air, and long-term storage with dynamic damping, thermal control, and filtering systems. Containers are custom-designed with advanced features such as full active and passive thermal control, dynamic protection for a wide range of payload/satellite masses, environmental control by air-filtering and drying or N2-purging, satellite loading by hat-off lid, tilting lid, or door, satellite mounting vertically, horizontally, or on a tilt-table for vertical extraction, and certification for air transportation on a wide range of aircraft.

Our portfolio of specialized containers includes hat-off type containers with removable roofs for easy access, tilt-lid type containers for loading and unloading large or heavy items, door-type roll-in containers with roll-in doors and spacecraft tilting units, and large satellite containers specifically designed for transporting satellites on An124 aircraft.

Constellation-type satellite containers offer an efficient and cost-effective solution for transporting and storing multiple satellites, with IATA-compliant depressurization (breathing units for normal transport and burst discs for emergency depressurization), controlled temperature and humidity, and cleanliness monitoring devices for temperature, humidity, acceleration and pressure.
