Bettina Environmental Manager

I am working on an exciting and important topic. That makes me very proud. By minimizing the environmental impact of our company down here, I want to contribute to making the earth look a little 'greener' again from above.

With over three decades of experience in the development and production of thermal products for more than 500 satellites, we have developed competencies and capabilities for very demanding requirements that enable us to provide detailed thermal analysis.

Adeeb Thermal System Engineer

As a thermal system engineer, I contribute to the design of the thermal control system of the satellites and subsystems. Give me any orbit I make sure that our satellites do not burn or freeze to death!

Alberto Senior Manager Launcher Subystems

Having the chance to work in the next generation of space launchers is a great challenge and a huge responsibility for the entire innovation team. This motivates us every day!

"Ensuring we attract and look after top talent is essential for our capability to continually push boundaries."

André Wall CEO

How we push boundaries.

Curious.

Progress demands we get past the obvious and open our minds to new possibilities. We are born with an insatiable curiosity leading to breakthrough inventions in history.

Why – that’s the most important question to understand the need of our counterpart and look at the world from their eyes.

Our future requires that we maintain that same sense of wonder and keep our curiosity alive. Being curious means active listening, continous learning, not settling for the first solution. In the face of uncertainty, we explore and fill gaps in our knowledge. Every day brings opportunity to try something new and we seize it.

Passionate.

We love what we do and we have a lot of fun doing what we do, in the coolest industry there is. We are not working on tasks or are motivated by a carrot. We are literally working on missions and our motivation comes from within, a unique desire to tackle challenges and produce value.

Together.

At Beyond Gravity we can only win together: with our colleagues across the globe, our customers, suppliers and partners. Each role is important, diversity leads to broader solutions and with combined strenghts we achieve more. In a team we need to rely on each other, have trust and take responsibility. Last but not least, working together is fun!

About Beyond Gravity

Beyond Gravity has delivered products for hundreds of different missions for over 40 years. We are currently working on around 400 projects. What they all have in common? They all ultimately serve an important purpose that advances humankind. Our activities encompass weather forecasting, satellite-based positioning and communications in even the most remote corners of the globe, satellite data to manage natural hazards, new discoveries revealing the mysteries of our universe, scientific experiments in space and exciting new developments like self-driving cars – everything depends on space technology. With endless opportunities, we help our customers around the world make the impossible possible.

The current Galileo system consists of a total of 28 satellites. These are protected from heat and cold in space by our thermal protection foils.

Spacecraft container used for the safe transport of satellites and probes

Leading Supplier for Spacecraft Container

Beyond Gravity is a recognized supplier of Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) with more than 30 years of successful deliveries to both the European Space Agency (ESA), NASA and the commercial market worldwide.

The Bubble Nebula is 7 light-years across – about one-and-a-half times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri – and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia.

Platform for innovation

At Beyond Gravity, innovation has many faces and very different origins. For example, in the “Launchpad”, the company’s own incubator programme for start-ups. But also internally: with the Space Race competition for engineers. And last but not least, in cooperation with students and universities.

Space is the future

The importance of space as an economic factor is growing strongly. Lower launch costs promise continued growth. As a supplier, Beyond Gravity is well positioned with expertise in many fields.

Austria leads by example

In Austria, we have been committed to the issue of sustainability for more than 20 years now and have received the internationally recognised ISO 14001 certification every year. This confirms that we consistently comply with environmental guidelines and laws and fulfil our ecological responsibility.

A Word from André Wall

For Beyond Gravity the topic of sustainability is moving into the focus of all our thinking and actions. CEO André Wall explains the background in an interview.

Satellites observing earth from space provide important evidence to understand our changing climate. They measure and monitor our huge oceans, land, atmosphere, and the polar regions.

Delivering the Hard Climate Facts

Without satellites, our understanding of the climate crisis would be completely different. With their view from space, they provide critical data about inaccessible regions such as the Arctic Circle or the deepest corners of the world's oceans.

How space keeps our energy systems running

Do you think about space, when you turn on your light at home? You should – as space is a key enabler, when it comes to secure and efficient energy supply.

The new Lynx computer is 250 times more powerful than normal On Board Computers.

Enabling Artificial Intelligence on Satellites

Beyond Gravity and Stream Analyze collaborate to offer a platform for intelligent applications in space using Stream Analyze’ analytics platform sa.engine on the latest high performance satellite computer Lynx from Beyond Gravity.

Project NEWSPAPER
