Agreement for Satellite Manufacturing
June 10th, 2022
ReOrbit and VENG signed an
agreement to manufacture satellites in Argentina to
serve the Latin America market. The directors of
both organisations met at the Argentina Space Centre
located in Cordoba Province, Argentina, to visit the
VENG’s AI&T facilities, discuss future
collaborations and finally sign a Memorandum of
Understanding.
VENG, the main contractor of
the Argentina Space Agency (CONAE) for Launch
Vehicle developments, signed an agreement with
ReOrbit for satellite manufacturing.
On Friday June 10th, a meeting between both
companies was held at the Argentina Space Centre,
located in the Town of Falda del Cañete, Córdoba
Province, to sign and formalise the agreement and
visit the Manufacturing, Assembling, Integration and
Test facilities operated by VENG.
Participating in the signing,
on behalf of the VENG board, were Marcos Actis and
Juan Cruz Gonzalez Allonca, president and
vice-president and José Luis Randazzo, General
Manager of the Company. On behalf of ReOrbit was
Carlos Pedalino, VP of Engineering.
The agreement signed by both
parties establishes two lines of work; on one hand,
VENG will offer ReOrbit engineering services through
its operating capabilities and specialised
engineers, for both, the customers of the Finnish
Company in Latin America and in the rest of the
world. On the other hand, the manufacturing and
testing of the Gluon platform developed by ReOrbit
for their Latin America customers. The
Helsinki-based company designs a satellite platform
for different orbits (LEO, MEO and GEO) and can be
easily adapted to different missions ranging from
150 to 500 kg. The development, which is called
“Gluon Satellite Bus” , is a software-defined
platform, highly reliable and fault tolerant, and
with Inter-satellite link capabilities.
“ReOrbit enters into this
agreement with VENG to further advance space
technology in Argentina and the region. Through this
agreement, ReOrbit will be able to offer its
satellite platform “Gluon'' together with the
capabilities of VENG and its testing and integration
facilities for the new generation of satellites
which the industry needs. As a platform provider we
are proud to work together with VENG to provide
high-performance satellite platforms, minimizing
costs and delivery time to the clients”, explains
Sethu Saveda Suvanam, founder and CEO of ReOrbit.
For his part, Marcos Actis,
President of VENG stated “It is a honour to be
chosen by ReOrbit as strategic partners to work
together in the development of the space and
satellite industry, both in the country and in the
region, we have the capabilities and a highly
trained human capital to carry out this type of
development”.
