Argotec is a space engineering company operating along two different business pillars: the manufacturing of small satellite platforms and the development of innovative products to support new space explorers’ comfort.
Thanks to LICIACube and ArgoMoon, Argotec is the only company in the world to have made two microsatellites work correctly in deep space at the same time.
ArgoMoon participated in the Artemis 1 mission, while LICIACube took part in DART, the first planetary defence mission ever. LICIACube has become the first microsatellite in the world to have performed a fly-by of an asteroid through an algorithm for target recognition and autonomous navigation.
Numerous projects are under construction, both for the exploration of the solar system and for Earth Observation, with a constellation of 40 microsatellites.
Argotec can directly operate its satellites using its Mission Control Centre certified by NASA JPL and directly connected with the Deep Space Network.
