Aerospace
The origin of everything we build.
Norzva designs, builds and operates its own Earth-observation satellites, from the guidance and control that keeps them on target to the constellation that serves our customers. Every other Norzva domain grows from this engineering.
What stands in the way.
Three problems we hear from aerospace teams again and again.
Pointing is unforgiving
A fraction of a degree of pointing error blurs an image or breaks a link. Attitude control has to be right before launch.
Testing comes too late
Many control problems surface on the integration floor or in orbit, when they cost the most to fix.
Small teams, big missions
NewSpace programmes need flight-grade GNC expertise without building a large in-house department.
Engineering and simulation on the ground
We model orbits and disturbances, design and tune control laws, and verify them in closed-loop simulation before hardware is committed.

The Norzva constellation
We design, assemble, test and operate our satellites ourselves. Their orbits are chosen for sharp detail, strong radar returns and frequent revisits over the regions our customers care about.

Questions
Do you build your own satellites?
Yes. We design, build, test and operate our own Earth-observation satellites. Our first pathfinder satellite is in development.
Can you support an existing programme?
Yes. We can join at design, test or operations stage as an engineering partner.
Why is your data sharper?
Our satellites and their orbits are designed together for fine detail and frequent revisit, rather than adapted from a generic platform.
Do you work with defence organisations?
Yes, with the appropriate agreements and controls in place.
Let's plan your aerospace mission.
Tell us what you need to see or build. An engineer from our Aerospace team will reply within two working days.
Other Norzva domains.
Every domain starts from the same constellation.
