CAPABILITIES

What the Facility Enables

Obitworks brings satellite manufacturing, payload integration, qualification testing and launch readiness together in one UAE-based facility. This allows customers to progress from spacecraft build to launch preparation through a single programme environment with greater speed, control and coordination.

Satellite Assembly & Integration

Installation and fit-out of structural, electrical and onboard systems, preparing spacecraft for integrated test and mission configuration.

Payload Integration
 

Mechanical, electrical and software integration of Earth observation, communications, RF and customer payloads onto the spacecraft platform.

Environmental Qualification Testing

Environmental test campaigns including vibration, thermal vacuum, EMC and thermal cycling to validate readiness for launch and on-orbit operations.

Mission Assurance & Launch Readiness

Functional verification, interface validation and final acceptance activities completed ahead of launch campaign handover.

Operations Transition
 

Structured handover from manufacturing and test into mission operations, supporting a smoother transition from facility floor to on-orbit service.

Mission Assurance, Built In

Mission Assurance,
Built In

Orbitworks supports a broad range of spacecraft qualification and verification activities, helping customers reduce mission risk and prepare hardware for launch and operation in orbit.

By combining test capability with integration and mission support infrastructure, Orbitworks creates a more efficient and controlled path to spacecraft readiness.
