Activity and Skills

AYTANA Defense & Aerospace is an international company that applies innovative technology solutions to sustainable development in the energy, water and industrial sectors.
Taking advantage of our expertise in the energy and large infrastructures sector, we seek technological synergies between these areas and the space, defence and large scientific facilities sectors to create innovative products that provide solutions to specific applications. We have capabalities for the full development cycle, from hardware, software and thermomechanical design to mass production. Our capacity allows us to produce from prototypes to large recurring series, guaranteeing efficient and customized solutions for each project.

Contracts for Big Science facilities

[ESA - AVIO-ARIANE ] AVIO-VEGA C (2018)
Design development and production of 16 units separation boxes and 4 power supplies for the simulation of the VEGA C launcher stages separation. The units comprises electronics and mechanics production, electromechanical assembly and harness (power, telecommand/telemetry, small signal) and was used during hardware in the loop test phase of the launcher.
[ESA - AVIO ] Vega C Upper Composite Special Checkout Equipment (2017 - 2022)
Automated Special Check-out Equipment (SCOE) for the VEGA-C launcher for the Hardware-in-the-loop and Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Tests campaigns that, after qualification, is acting as Factory Acceptance Testing facility for the serial production of the launcher. The SCOE comprise 6 different racks and 3 server/computers that controls and monitor the full Upper Composite of the launcher to verify its correct performance during the qualification/FAT tests campaign. Two units delivered
[ESA - ADS ] Automated Test Equipment for Ariane 6 CMFU and for QUANTUM RX Antenna and GEO-SCAU Unit for Airbus Defence and Space (2016)
Design, development, testing and validation (CE) of 10 Test Benches for different flight electronic units of Arian6 launcher, Vega C launcher and Quantum+ELSA Antenna satellite.
[ESO - ASIAA ] Production and verification of Bias Modules for Band 1 of ALMA (2016)
Manufacturing, integration and testing of 150 electronic cards (biasing) for the Band 1 Electronics of ALMA Radiotelescoe for the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) of Taiwan.
[ITER ORGANIZATION - ITER ] Supply of ITER nuclear Safety I&C system SCS-N [2016] (2016)
Participating in the SCS-N cubibles design, manufacturing and test including HMI and operator safety desks. Also in the FAT and product qualification (functional and environmental)
[ESO] Production and verification of Bias Modules and Cartridge Power Distribution Cards for Band 5 of ALMA (2014)
Manufacturing, integration and testing of 160 electronic cards (biasing) of the 80 BIAS module cartridges electronics) and 80 CPDS ultra-low noise power distribution units for the Band 5 Electronics of ALMA Radiotelescoe for the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
[ESO] Design, Production and validation of Automated Test Equipment for Bias Modules and Cartridge Power Distribution Cards for Band 5 of ALMA (2014)
Definition (based on the test strategy), design, production and Validation of 2 Automated Test Equipment for the BIAS (biasing electronics) and the CPDS cards (ultra-low noise power distribution units). Those portable ATEs performs the validation, factory acceptance testing of the BIAS modules and CPDS cards. After the production they support the maintenance activities, calibration and field activities of these units delivered for ALMA radiotelescope band 5 (ESO) and band 1 (ASIAA).
[ESA - ASD ] Automated Test Bench for Ariane 5 Launcher Electronics Airbus Defence and Space (2014)and Test Bench for Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Power Distribution Unit for Airbus Defence and Space (2013)
Desing, development, testing and production of more than 100 Electronic cards for the emulation of power user demands in sattelites and launcher operation during qualification test campaigns. Electronics developed under a High Adaptative Architecture that allow to be integrated with different building blocks for Electrical Ground Support Equipment of flight units.
[CERN] DO-27885 and DO-27770 project (2013) (2013)
Design, Manufacturing, Prototype production, Test, Qualification and series production of Power Supplies.

Relevant R&D projects

[ESA ] -TDE for a Battery Management System (2019)
Development of an Active Battery Management system for LEO orbit satellites bringing mature technologies in terrestrial areas (like large energy storage facilities, Electrical Vehicle or Defense power distribution systems) to the space. The development involves the production of a Bread Board of TRL4 that demonstrated the benefits of this technology in space enlarging battery (and satellite mission) lifetime.
[ESA-ISRU ] -ISRULAB (2019)
