In May, the company, a subsidiary of the space and technology group OHB SE, signed a contract with the <strong>European Space Agency<\/strong> (ESA) under the ARTES (Advanced Research in Telecoms System) programme for a partnership project for the development and qualification of the Triton-X Heavy microsatellite platform, which it wants to be ready for commercial use by mid-2023. Triton-X is a new line of microsatellites with a launch mass of up to 200 kg aimed at enabling affordable satellite constellations in LEO. In order to meet this key design requirement and achieving rapid market launch, Triton-X aims to leverage efficient manufacturing, assembly and testing processes.&nbsp;This co-engineering phase with Exotrail comes as part of the development of a next generation of this multi-mission microsatellite platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to be embarked into Triton-X Heavy project, a microsatellite European flagship program and to welcome OHB Luxspace into ExoMGTM fast growing customer base.
