Satlantis opens expanded Astrabudua satellite manufacturing facility
49 FOMOSatlantis opened a new facility in Astrabudua, Bizkaia, expanding its industrial and engineering footprint by more than 1,000 square meters. The site includes ISO 6 and ISO 8 clean-room environments, satellite assembly, integration and testing infrastructure, and an electronics laboratory. The company reported that the expansion triples the surface area dedicated to clean-room operations. It is intended to support growing satellite manufacturing demand and future large-scale production.
Why it matters
The expansion signals a shift toward higher-volume production rather than development-only operations. Its manufacturing pipeline and clean-room capacity will be important indicators of whether Satlantis can scale FlexSat deliveries without bottlenecks.
The numbers
The new facility adds over 1,000 square meters to our operational footprint.
SourceThe new facilities significantly triple the total surface area dedicated to clean room operations.
SourceFive FLEXSAT missions currently under development in Astrabudua clean rooms.
