As 2024 approaches its end, we would like to thank all our partners and collaborators for their trust and support, which made possible all the wonderful projects. Each step forward was the result of teamwork, dedication and common vision.
Conferences
This year, we had the privilege to attend a series of conferences and exhibitions, which provided invaluable opportunities to engage with the global space community. These events allowed us to explore emerging trends, gain insights into the future direction of the space sector, and connect with leaders and innovators shaping the industry. By staying informed about the latest advancements and technologies, we ensure that our expertise and solutions remain at the forefront of innovation, positioning us to meet the evolving needs of the sector effectively.
Here is the short list of this year’s major events we participated in: BSDA (Romania), ION GNSS+ (USA), Space Tech Expo (Germany), ISD (Germany), Space Systems Engineering Workshop (Romania).
projects
This year, we successfully completed a number of projects, showcasing our extensive expertise and the versatility of our capabilities. The flagship is the 1st launch and hardware operational in space, achieved in November 2024.
Each project reflects our commitment to delivering innovative solutions tailored to complex challenges, combining technical excellence with a multidisciplinary approach. Our team’s dedication and adaptability have been key to achieving these milestones, enabling us to push boundaries and make meaningful contributions across various domains. These accomplishments highlight our ability to deliver impactful results and reinforce our position as a trusted partner in the aerospace and technology sectors.
Among our successfully completed projects we showcase the following:
- DropCoal – a project that started as a concept and is now in operational phase, having reached TRL 9. It is used to conduct fluidic experiment on the International Space Station.
- NeuroNav – a solution designed to enhance the accuracy and reliability of GNSS receivers by using deep knowledge of the environment that the receiver is operating in, employing Machine Learning (ML) to reduce the impact of multipath errors
- Profet – a precise satellite positioning solution using analytical physics-based models for efficient trajectory estimation, with implementation validated through hardware-in-the-loop testing
We are also happy to expand our portfolio with eight exciting new projects secured this year, reflecting our continued growth and commitment to innovation. Several of the new contracts continue our development of precise positioning technologies using GNSS receivers for space and pursue the qualification and demonstration in orbit. Other new projects also widen our development of flight hardware with full nanosatellite missions and space debris mitigation technologies. In the last category we have the contracts that allow us to also expand our contribution of assured PNT by applying the space expertise to ground applications mitigating jamming, spoofing and generic interferences.
Products
We remain dedicated to the continuous development and refinement of our products, striving to enhance their performance, reliability, and adaptability. Through ongoing innovation and a commitment to excellence, we aim to meet the evolving needs of our clients while staying at the forefront of technological advancements.
In this respect, we continue the development of OrbFIX by kicking-off the qualification for space and adapting it as part of the orbit determination and time synchronization system of a large LEO communication constellation. Based on the OrbFix expertise, we continue to adapt the space technologies for terrestrial applications, and we are preparing to launch a GNSS receiver that offers precision of the order of 10-30 cm, without the need for a secondary source of correction. Keep an eye on propozitia.ro for the launch of IQrate.
Our Team
We take great pride in having built a cohesive team of talented young professionals, each bringing diverse skills and perspectives to the table. Their ability to communicate effectively, both professionally and socially, has been a cornerstone of our success. This year, we’ve not only collaborated on groundbreaking projects but also strengthened our bonds through various extracurricular activities. These moments have fostered a sense of unity and shared purpose, making us stronger as a team.
For the Romanian space industry, we strongly believe that the future is promising. We have the potential and resources to build a strong community, capable of significantly contributing to space exploration missions and the application of cutting-edge technologies. Together, we can turn ambitions into reality and put Romania on the map of global space innovation.
We wish you a new year full of achievements, health and new opportunities for success!
Happy New Year!
With appreciation,
Rise Team
