Market Overview

The European market of satellite attitude and orbit control system (AOCS) covers technologies used for attitude and orbit control of a satellite in space. AOCS is crucial to the correct functioning of satellites because it orients them in a way that correctly executes their respective missions, whether communication, navigation, Earth observation, or scientific research. The system includes components such as reaction wheels, control moment gyroscopes, magnetometers, star trackers, and sensors that help satellites keep stability and accuracies in space. The European market for satellite AOCS is growing very fast with increasing demands placed on satellite-based services and applications such as satellite communication, Earth monitoring, and defense. The growth of commercial satellite constellations and satellite miniaturization have further added fuel to the demand for efficient, lightweight, and cost-effective AOCS solutions. Additionally, the integration of AI and machine learning into satellite systems is making AOCS technologies more precise and reliable, leading to better performance and autonomy in space operations. European governments are supporting satellite missions and technologies, funding research and development projects for AOCS, to increase Europe's global influence, stimulate innovation, and enhance satellite technology for commercial and scientific purposes.
