The space engineering company, Sener in Poland, as part of a consortium led by Airbus Defence and Space, has secured a contract to deliver a prototype of the Mass Trim Mechanism (MTM). Initially, a breadboard will be prepared, i.e., the first version of the mechanism built in a representative manner, without adhering to detailed requirements such as material purity. Ultimately, the role of the MTM will be to balance the center of mass of the satellite, of which it will be a part.

The Next Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM) is the European part of the Mass Change and Geophysics International Constellation (MAGIC) mission, a collaboration between the European Space Agency and NASA. For this mission, both organizations will provide two satellites that will observe Earth. The combined results of their research are expected to provide scientists with insights into changes in Earth’s gravitational field, ultimately supporting better water resource management. The mission is part of the European Future EO program and is currently in Phase B1, meaning its main goals and requirements have been defined, and two consortia are competing to become the main integrator of the mission. The mission’s launch date has not yet been set.

About Sener in Aerospace and Defence
Sener is a private engineering and technology group founded in 1956, which seeks to transform the world by challenging the boundaries of technology, with the mission of helping its clients with innovative and effective solutions, thanks to its differential values: innovation, excellence, commitment, passion, and teamwork. Sener has approximately 4,000 professionals on five continents. In Space, it supplies electromechanical, navigation (CNG/AOCS), communications and optical systems, and it is involved in the main programs of the ESA and NASA space agencies (including Euclid, Meteosat Third Generation, Solar Orbiter, JUICE, Proba-3, Hubble, Galileo, Rosetta, Gaia, Herschel, and Planck, IXV, BepiColombo and Mars 2020) and the European Southern Observatory (ESO). In the commercial space market, it is a world leader in supplying telemetry, tracking and command (TTC) antennas, and it regularly supplies all types of antennas and passive and active RF devices to leading international communications satellite manufacturers, as well as to the so-called New Space programs. Follow us on LinkedIn, YouTube and at www.group.sener

Sener began its operations in the Polish market in 2006 and now specializes exclusively in space sector projects. Its activities in Poland focus on two product groups: space mechanisms, including holding, deployment, positioning mechanisms, and those for special applications, as well as ground support equipment (MGSE) necessary for the transport and assembly of satellites and spacecraft. Polish engineers are responsible for the design, construction, testing, and assembly of devices for the missions of major international space organizations: ESA, NASA, ESO, and integrators such as Airbus and OHB. The company participates in key scientific missions, such as JUICE, Euclid, Athena, PROBA-3, e.Deorbit, ExoMars, ELT, and commercial ventures like IBDM.
