/PRNewswire/ -- GomSpace ApS ("GomSpace") a
subsidiary of GomSpace Group AB (publ) (formerly GS Sweden) (the
"Company") has been selected by and has entered into a procurement
contract with the Universidade de Vigo to deliver platform
subsystems for the LUME-1 Nanosatellite, financed by the European
Commission. The total contract value amounts to approximately
€150,000 EUR.
GomSpace will deliver platform subsystems composed of
fully flight proven hardware to Universidade de Vigo. The FIRE-RS
project aims to implement an effective tool for the early detection
and characterization of natural disasters, initially focused on
wildland fires within the Sudoe territory (France, Spain, and Portugal regions). In this way, it will
provide a complete assessment of the fire to the involved
firefighting brigades, before and during the firefighting
operations, through the combination and operation of a
Nanosatellite, autonomous UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and a
simulation and assessment software tool.
"GomSpace is happy to collaborate with the University
of Vigo, a world-renowned institution in the field of
Nanosatellites. This application is yet another important step in
the expanding use of Nanosatellites for new services"
Says Niels Buus, CEO of
GomSpace.

designs on the LUME-1 spacecraft, together with reliable space
qualified electronics, we firmly trust in GomSpace since it is the
lead provider of Nanosatellite subsystems," says
Fernando Aguado, Professor at the
University of Vigo.
