The main lines of activity of this business unit focus on the design and manufacture of structures, thermal systems, optical systems, deployable systems, avionics, flight electronics and space grade microchips.

Ferrán Tejada will be the new Managing Director of ARQUIMEA Space and will spearhead its growth in this new phase.
