What do you want to walk away with?

Choose what sounds like you. Each path has a person at NMD behind it.

I want a satellite built

Hold a satellite you trust, built by one team.

We design your mission, then build, assemble, integrate and test the satellite, and we facilitate its flight model and its launch. You deal with one team from the first idea to the last test, and you understand every choice made.

Talk about my satellite
I want to be trained

Finish able to design a real space mission, and prove it.

Learn online at your own pace, or build your own PocketCube kit and learn to assemble it, test it and operate it. Take the MDL1 exam and hold a certificate that anyone can check online. The first courses are free.

Start learning
I need an expert

Decide with confidence before you spend.

Bring us your idea or your problem. We tell you in plain words what is possible, which missions already solve it, and what to do first.

PocketCube kits

Buy a real satellite to build, test and fly

Our kits are not toys and not slides. Each one is an actual engineering model of a PocketCube satellite. You assemble it, test it and operate it. When you are ready, we help you go further, to a flight model, its tests and its launch.

  1. 01

    Learn and design

    Mission architecture, requirements and link budgets, with the NMD design tools.

  2. 02

    Assemble

    Printed circuits, ESP32 sensors and antennas. You solder and build real hardware.

  3. 03

    Test and operate

    Integration, verification and validation, then you run your own ground station.

  4. 04

    Flight model

    We help you turn your engineering model into a flight model.

    With NMD
  5. 05

    Test and launch

    We facilitate the tests of the flight model and its launch.

Il y a maintenant 2 ans j’effectuais une formation en nano satellite mission design au bout de laquelle j’ai obtenu une certification junior satellite IOT par NMD (Nanosatellite Missions Design) LTD. Avec notre très brillant formateur Karol Charles Konarski.

How you will feel when we deliver

We measure our work by this moment.

The day we hand you your satellite

Pride, and a calm certainty.

You hold a finished satellite. You know what is inside, why each part is there and how it was tested. Nothing is left to guess.

The day you receive your certificate

Confidence that you can do the work.

You can look anyone in the eye and say you can design a space mission. Anyone can check your certificate online.

The day we give you our advice

Relief. The fog is gone.

You know what to do first, what to leave aside, and you can explain it to your team and to the people who fund you.
