About
Attitude Determination & Control Systems for SmallSats
Our mission
Accurate, reliable, robust and low cost ADCS
The Space Industry is facing the rise of SmallSats: compact, low-cost and fast-developing spacecraft. This creates a demand for miniaturized attitude determination and control systems that are accurate, reliable, robust and low cost.
HIPPARCOS ADCS are based on the 40-year experience of the team. Their competitive advantages stem from intelligent attitude determination algorithms, a smart multicamera architecture, intelligent data fusion from multiple sensors and sophisticated in-orbit recalibration procedures.
Our professional commitment is to deliver ADCS for cutting-edge enabling technologies for NewSpace missions.
Our vision
Reliable and competitive access to space
To significantly contribute to enable reliable and competitive access to space for small satellite constellations equipped with our ADCS, targeting smart communication also to unserved and underserved communities, global monitoring of Earth and enhanced space observation.
