Active Space Technologies is a Coimbra-based engineering company operating in space, aeronautics, nuclear, defence and industry. It is part of the OHB Sweden-led consortium developing ESA’s EPS-Sterna weather-satellite constellation, contributing platform struts, mechanical components and mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE).
Active Space Technologies is a Portuguese engineering firm headquartered in Coimbra, with additional offices in Lisbon, Southampton (UK) and Noordwijk (Netherlands). It works across space, aeronautics, nuclear, defence and industrial markets, with a track record of contracts for the European Space Agency and other space organisations.
Its Nordic link runs through orbit: Active Space Technologies is part of the consortium led by OHB Sweden developing ESA’s EPS-Sterna weather-satellite constellation, supplying platform struts, mechanical components and mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE). That makes a Portuguese engineering house a named supplier inside a Swedish-led European space programme.
Space and defence supply chains are where high-value corridor relationships are increasingly formed. A Coimbra engineering firm contributing flight hardware to a Swedish-led ESA constellation is a high-credibility example of Portugal → Nordics technical collaboration — precisely the kind of deep-tech corridor link NorthSouth HQ tracks.
