The Space sector

Our business sectors

At NEXIO, we combine engineering (design and testing), measurement and simulation to offer tailor-made support to all business sectors.
Whether for components or complete systems, we operate on a global scale, respecting the standards in force (Europe, USA, Asia, etc.) and the specific requirements of each project.

We are committed to :

  • Anticipate and master regulatory constraints right from the start of development.
  • Identify and guarantee the essential functions of electronic devices.
  • Minimize the costs associated with EMC/RADIO/DAS/Lightning development and certification sequences.

With over 20 years’ experience as specialists, we are well positioned to meet the challenges common to all sectors of the economy.

Our Solutions by Sector: Space

Innovating and mastering electromagnetic challenges

The space sector is undergoing a veritable revolution, marked by three major transformations:

  • Technology: Miniaturization, reusable launchers, AI and Big Data.
  • Uses: Space applications for sovereignty and new commercial needs.
  • Players: New private and public players are investing massively in space.

These transformations are accompanied by accelerated innovation, notably with the development of digital payloads and nanosatellites.
The spectrum of applications for spatial data extends to sectors as diverse as mobility, security, theenvironment,agriculture and health.

Electromagnetic Challenges in the Space Sector

Electromagnetism is at the heart of space communications, linking satellites, probes and stations to Earth.
However, there are many challenges that disrupt these systems:

  • Cosmic and solar radiation: high-energy particles that can damage equipment.
    Shielding technologies are essential.
  • Electromagnetic interference (EMI): caused by various on-board equipment, satellites must minimize such interference.
  • Signal attenuation: EM signals degrade over long distances and can be blocked by obstacles.
    Directional antennas and repeaters reinforce their transmission.

NEXIO Solutions for the Space Sector

In response to these challenges, NEXIO offers a complete range of solutions to help space industry players optimize and secure their electromagnetic systems.

Design Office

Our experts carry out studies to design antennas, analyze interference, and prepare tests on satellites and equipment. We also help with the integration and testing of ground and on-board systems.

Software

We develop RF simulation software to design and optimize satellite antennas, guaranteeing their operation in extreme environments.

Measurement

We offer solutions for characterizing antennas and testing system resistance to electromagnetic interference.

Key projects

Here are a few examples of space projects in which NEXIO has participated:

  • Technical assistance for EMC, RF and ANTENNA testing (THALES ALENIA SPACE, AIRBUS DEFENCE & SPACE, CNES, ARIANE GROUP)
  • EMC engineering and analysis on space projects (THALES ALENIA SPACE, CNES)
  • New method for reducing EMC risks using near-field measurements (CNES)
  • Study of a RADAR test bench (CNES)
  • Microwave subsystem development and MMIC circuit design (THALES ALENIA SPACE)
