Hybrid Engineer | Space Systems (AIT Mechanical) bei CEiiA

N3O - NewSpace Earth Observation Orbital Objects - was born to build sustainable satellite manufacturing and integration capabilities focused on the needs of a growing market segment, that reinforces the Portuguese space sector position in the European space market. As the key Portuguese Integrator for small satellites, N3O manages the complexity associated with the development and deployment of Earth Observation systems, delivering turnkey products.

Currently, N3O is spearheading the development of the Iberian initiative ”Atlantic Constellation” in partnership with CEiiA.
