Plastron UK

Whether you offer launch services, provide range infrastructure or develop, assemble and test flight hardware, effective and safe coordination is critical. Plastron provides affordable and adaptable hardware handling technology and expertise where established industrial standards & working practices are effectively incorporated. We have over 40 years in spacecraft propulsion system design, test and launch-site operations across scientific and communication satellite programmes. Over their careers our team members have worked with major organisations, including ESA, CNES, Airbus, OHB, Thales & Nammo. Formed in 2020, we've designed a state-of-the-art payload processing facility for smallSat launches, an advanced and highly efficient air cleanliness system and we've improved spaceflight and propulsion knowledge for undergraduates, engineers and spaceflight regulators. We're now supported by ESA as we design a digital platform to enhance safety-led design of new space hardware and are investigating how to establish orbital life sciences as a commercial supply chain for the UK. The days are just packed!
