About
Specialist expertise for complex space programmes
Space programmes depend on having the right expertise available at the right time.
Nord Space connects organisations with experienced specialists across systems engineering, Product Assurance & Quality, GNSS/PNT, mission engineering, programme management and other critical space disciplines.
Our consultants bring practical experience from ESA, institutional and commercial space programmes - helping teams strengthen delivery, solve complex technical challenges and add specialist capability exactly where it is needed.
Nord Space is both a specialist network and a project partner: we also join consortia as a named partner, deliver work packages for primes, coordinate consortia and run the project office behind them.

Our history
Thirty years in the space industry
Nord Space was established with a clear purpose: to make senior, programme-tested space engineering expertise accessible to organisations that need it – whether they are established primes managing complex development programmes, emerging space companies building their first engineering processes, or organisations from adjacent sectors entering the space market for the first time.
Over more than thirty years of combined experience in the space industry, we have supported programmes across satellite platform development, instrument development, ground segment engineering, GNSS and navigation systems, and space application development. We have written proposals that secured ESA funding, managed programmes through milestone reviews under pressure, conducted supplier audits across Europe, and helped organisations find their footing in a market that does not always make itself easy to enter.
Along the way we have developed and maintained relationships across the European space ecosystem – at ESA and its establishments, at DTU Space, at prime contractors and system integrators, at national agencies and defence organisations, and increasingly across the emerging new space sector. Those relationships are among our most valuable assets – and we make them available to the clients we work with.
How we work
Four principles we don't compromise on
Vetted, not volume
Every consultant is reviewed by Nord Space before appearing to a client. We would rather present three credible profiles than thirty CVs.
Engineering first
Our conversations start with the technical problem - architecture, requirements, assurance - not with rate cards.
One accountable partner
You contract with Nord Space. We handle sourcing, contracting and delivery oversight, including multi-specialist Tiger Teams.
Nordic, European reach
Rooted in the Nordics, working across ESA, EU and defence programmes and commercial space operators.
