Space

The space industry is entering a bold new phase—often referred to as the “New Space” era—marked by the rapid expansion of satellite constellations, advances in on-orbit processing, and the demand for miniaturised, high-performance electronic systems. This evolving landscape prioritises innovation, efficiency, and increased accessibility to space.

At Jaltek Design, we specialise in the design and development of mission-critical electronics for space applications. We understand the extreme conditions and uncompromising reliability required for systems that operate beyond Earth's atmosphere. Our team has experience working with key industry standards, including ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standardisation) and NASA guidelines, allowing us to deliver solutions built to survive and perform in orbit.

We support clients across the full design lifecycle—from system-level architecture and embedded control to ruggedised PCB layout—with a strong focus on compact form factors, high reliability, and survivability in harsh space environments. Whether you're developing a CubeSat or a deep space mission, our electronics are engineered to endure.

With integrated design and manufacturing capabilities, Jaltek Design can take your space project from concept to launch-ready hardware. Our AS9100-certified facilities ensure rigorous quality standards, while our processes prioritise traceability, component longevity, and extensive testing to meet the demanding requirements of spaceflight.

Applications of Space Electronics

We design electronics for a wide range of space systems, including:

• Satellite Systems: Payload electronics, navigation systems, and ground control interfaces for Earth observation, communication, and GNSS constellations

• Spacecraft Control: Flight computers, telemetry systems, and navigation control electronics

• Power Systems: Solar array interfaces, battery management, and power regulation for space environments

• Communication Equipment: RF systems, modems, and emerging optical communication technologies for data links

• Scientific Instruments: Sensors, cameras, and spectrometers for planetary exploration and orbital science missions

• Onboard Computing: Real-time processing units for autonomous operations and data handling

• Thermal Management Systems: Electronics for monitoring and controlling spacecraft temperature regulation

• Radiation-Hardened Components: Systems designed to withstand vacuum, radiation, and extreme temperature fluctuations.

The space electronics market is growing rapidly, driven by renewed investment in space exploration, the commercial satellite boom, and constant innovation in electronics and materials. Jaltek Design is ready to meet this demand with reliable, high-performance solutions built for space-grade resilience.
