Immersive Engineering for the Future of Space Mission Design

The Immersive Space Design Environment (ISDE) project explores how XR technologies can improve early-phase space mission design within ESA’s Concurrent Design Facility. By combining immersive 3D spacecraft configuration, orbital visualisation, multi-user collaboration and integration with ESA’s COMET MBSE environment, the project demonstrates a more intuitive and collaborative approach to systems engineering.

Ensuring Flight Hardware Meets Space-Grade Standards

Nord Space provided specialist ECSS workmanship and hardware qualification support for a European space mission, helping verify electrical crimp connections used within flight hardware. The activity combined hands-on manufacturing support, qualification testing and technical review to ensure that non-standard wiring could be demonstrated to meet the required mechanical and electrical performance for use in a space application.

Tracking Space Objects from the Arctic

DENASSI explored the feasibility of using an optical telescope in Greenland for Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) - detecting and tracking satellites, space debris and other objects in the space environment. Nord Space provided project and technical coordination for the development, integration and testing of a 50 cm optical telescope system, supporting its deployment in Greenland and helping establish the foundation for future Arctic space-safety capabilities.

GNSS / PNT

Resilient Navigation in GNSS-Denied Environments

GRiD - GNSS Resilient integrated Device - is a compact anti-jamming and anti-spoofing solution designed to protect positioning, navigation and timing capabilities when satellite navigation signals are disrupted or manipulated. Developed initially for demanding maritime and defence applications, GRiD combines advanced antenna architecture, interference detection and multi-constellation GNSS processing to provide a more resilient navigation capability in contested environments.

Protecting Navigation in Contested GNSS Environments

GRiD - GNSS Resilient integrated Device - is a defence-focused navigation resilience project supported through the Danish Ministry of Defence acquisition and innovation framework. The project is developing a compact, multi-antenna GNSS protection system designed to detect and mitigate jamming and spoofing, helping military platforms maintain reliable positioning, navigation and timing in contested environments.

Bringing Immersive Technology to the International Space Station

Nord Space helped bring virtual reality into orbit as part of ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen’s Huginn mission aboard the International Space Station. The VR Mental Care / Virtual Assistance Mental Balance (VAMB) project explored how immersive technology could give astronauts a mental break from the confined and demanding environment of long-duration spaceflight — providing access to calming virtual environments while living hundreds of kilometres above Earth.

Space Weather Intelligence for Arctic Defence Operations

SWADO - Space Weather for Arctic Defence Operations - is a space-weather monitoring and decision-support initiative focused on strengthening operational awareness in the Arctic. Together with DTU Space and Danish Defence stakeholders, Nord Space has worked on transforming scientific space-weather measurements into an operational capability that can help users understand when disturbances in the ionosphere may affect GNSS performance and other critical systems. The concept combines a distributed sensor network across Greenland and the Faroe Islands with data processing, monitoring and alerting capabilities.
