PICOSATS is an Innovative SME founded in 2014 as a spin-off of the University of
Trieste. PICOSATS is incubated in Area Science Park, the largest science and technology
park in Italy. PICOSATS commercial scope relates to the development, production and
marketing of innovative products, processes and services with high technological value,
in particular with regards to the development of small satellites and the associated
instrumentation.
Currently, PICOSATS main business consists of a new generation of
telecommunication systems for small satellites, RADIOSAT. RADIOSAT is a miniaturized
Ka-band transceiver, capable of providing a data transmission speed five times higher
than the current technologies available in the market. In order to diversify the company’s
portfolio of solutions, PICOSATS developed its own full small satellite structural bus,
BRICSAT, a new solution for building small satellites by using a promising plastic polymer
and 3-D manufacturing technique, with a modularity design. Together, RADIOSAT
and BRICSAT create a bundle between the hardware’s side, the satellite bus, and the
software’s side, the communication system, addressed to the same potential user and
customer segments. Additional serviced are being proposed for payload design and
integration.
