BeaconSat already includes 100 metres of electrical harnessing.

And this is only for the propulsion system avionics alone.
As Space Inventor adds the remaining spacecraft systems, the total harness length will increase to more than 200 meters.

For this reason, we chose to work with experienced Austrian companies Resch GmbH, who manufactured the structural parts of the BeaconSat satellite. And Ing. Prägler GmbH. carried out the aluminium passivation and hard coating of these parts.

Military awareness in space: EDA to develop access to data for EU countries

Fifteen European Union countries have agreed to set up a new mechanism run by the European Defence Agency (EDA) to let their militaries access and share data on objects and activity in orbit. The goal is a common, up-to-date picture of what's happening in space, for military use.

The initiative, formally agreed on 25 September 2026, comes as EU militaries increasingly rely on satellites for imagery, navigation and communication, and need to protect those assets from collision or interference.

The participating states are Austria, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, Italy, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden. Other EU Member States can still join.

Space Situational Awareness

EDA will run the scheme thanks to its track record of bringing together satellite demand across Member States, negotiating economies of scale, and offering a non-binding "pay-as-you-go" model without long-term budget commitments.

The mechanism will build on the EU SatCom Market, which has grown since 2012 into EDA's largest project, supplying commercial satellite communications to defence ministries and EU missions. Its contract ceiling rose to €250 million in early 2024. The new mechanism is initially expected to be worth around €50 million.

A survey assessing suppliers is due to conclude in December. EDA aims to agree a programme arrangement with Member States around 2027 ̶ 2028, before launching a framework contract, with an initial operating capability targeted for early 2029.
