Space technologies

LEIS is developing high-tech science-intensive highly miniaturized Space technologies and advanced Space applications based on quantum technologies for future Space missions.

LEIS gained first experience in operations of a spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) and now continues with operations of a spacecraft in Middle Earth orbit (MEO), whilst looking further into deeper orbits for Space Weather observations and general Deep Space missions like GEO and Lunar. The activities are mainly focused into new highly miniaturized Space technologies and advanced Space applications based on quantum technologies targeting New Space market to increase the onboard Intelligence and to tackle the needs of future Space missions. From educational aspects the institution promotes Space related activities to public and provides education of competitive engineers for Slovenian Space industry.
