Projects

Creating Impact, everyday

LUMIO Mission

Lunar Meteoroid Impact Observer (LUMIO) is an ESA CubeSat mission designed to observe, quantify, and characterize meteoroid impacts on the lunar farside by detecting impact flashes. Nautilus is responsible for the ground segment desing and flight dynamics operations. LUMIO is expected to be launched in 2027.

Space Exploration

The SmallSats revolution has enabled this class of spacecraft to self-sustain interplanetary scientific missions. Our solution will drastically increase access to deep space, allowing hundreds of SmallSats to explore our solar system and reveal its secrets.

HERMES Mission

High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites (HERMES) is an ASI-funded mission demonstrating high-energy gamma-ray burst detection with a constellation of CubeSats. Nautilus supports this initiative by developing the Flight Dynamics software for the Mission Operations Center, enhancing precision and effectiveness of operations.

CubeDynA

The 3DOF Attitude Control Air Bearing Facility (ADCS) is an ESA-funded project to develop a new attitude control test facility. As prime contractor, Nautilus is responsile for the development and assembly of the test bed. The facility is designed for the ground testing of cubesats ADCS supporting platforms up to 12U.

Markets

Multiple applications, endless gains

Lunar Economy

The lunar economy is a frontier of innovation and opportunity. With our flight dynamics capabilities, we enable multiple lunar applications such as: logistics, proximity operations, ISRU, communication, scientific experiments and more in the lunar orbit and surface.

Planetary Defence

While the chances of a major near-Earth object collision are low in the near term, it is likely that in the far future humanity must face such a threat. Our solution will expedite SmallSats employment to study hazardous asteroids and eventually redirect their orbit.

Space Exploration

Unlock the mysteries of the cosmos with our groundbreaking solution, granting satellites unprecedented access to deep space for exploration and research. Embrace financial sustainability, dare to venture beyond the stars, and shape the future of space exploration.
