Alba Orbital
Alba Orbital build and design small commercial satellite platforms. Traditionally satellites have been very expensive, even the smallest commercial satellites like CubeSats cost six-figure amounts to build and launch. Alba Orbital develops pico-Satellites which weigh <1kg and cost significantly less. While offering almost all of the advantagesof a CubeSat. Being leaders in this niche, they are closely partnered with ESA and provide research in this area to them.
