About

Aerospacelab designs and manufactures satellite platforms, avionics subsystems, and Earth observation payloads for low Earth orbit missions. The company offers two Versatile Satellite Platform (VSP) product lines: the VSP-50 and VSP-150, both payload-agnostic and optimized for SpaceX Rideshare deployment, with payloads including Very High Resolution optical, Multispectral Imaging, and Radio Frequency Sensing systems. Aerospacelab produces all core avionics subsystems in-house and sells these as standalone products to other satellite integrators. Founded in 2018 in Belgium, the company has launched eight satellites and operates factories in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium and Torrance, California, with a Megafactory under construction in Charleroi.
