Since 2005, Alma Sistemi has delivered ESA/EU RTD projects (FP7, H2020) and industrial programmes across Earth Observation, Navigation Applications and security domains. Our teams design, develop and qualify MGSE/EGSE and provide systems & software engineering to bring missions from concept to operations.
With 30+ projects delivered, we are a trusted partner to space agencies, prime contractors and research organisations. We manage the full lifecycle, requirements, design, integration, verification and documentation, under a certified ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and in full ECSS compliance.
Our portfolio bridges research and operational deployment, turning complex requirements into reliable, mission-ready solutions that create measurable value for institutional and industrial customers.
Our Project Domains
From European RTD programmes to ECSS-compliant EGSE and MGSE, Alma Sistemi delivers solutions that support satellite testing, payload integration and mission success across aerospace and defence.
Research & Technology Development (RTD)
Alma Sistemi contributes to ESA, EU and ASI programmes (FP7, H2020, Horizon Europe), with projects such as HORUS and EVER-EST in Earth Observation, Navigation and advanced applications. We bridge research initiatives and industrial contracts, transforming innovative concepts into engineering tools for solutions missions. Our RTD activities have been recognised with leading roles in European programmes, ensuring research delivers tangible results.
Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE)
We design and deliver checkout systems, SCOEs, simulators and RF emulators for satellites and payloads. All developments follow ECSS standards, supporting traceability, verification and validation throughout integration and qualification campaigns. Our EGSE systems have been successfully deployed in ESA missions, strengthening reliability and mission assurance.
Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE)
Our MGSE portfolio covers lifting, handling, transport and integration systems for satellites and payloads, with references in missions such as MetOp-2G and ExoMars. Designed and qualified under ESA/ECSS standards, these systems ensure safe handling, precise integration and reliable, repeatable processes. Trusted by prime contractors and agencies, Alma Sistemi’s MGSE is a reference point for flagship European missions.
Selected Projects
