Company Profile

OBO SPACE srl is an independent privately held SME providing technical services and products to the space sector in the area of thermal and mechanical engineering for the development of flight hardware.
Founded in 2020, OBO SPACE inherits the experience of its founder Dr. Enrico Friso who worked for almost 15 years as an independent thermal engineer on behalf of prominent European space companies and research institutions for the development of ambitious ESA space missions.
OBO SPACE distinctive competencies are in the area of space thermal control systems with specific strength including:

  • Solid theoretical background on thermal analysis methods for space systems
  • Proficiency and availability of space industry-standard software tools (i.e. ESATAN-TMS)
  • Experience on Thermal Vacuum Test planning, modeling and correlation
  • Extensive heritage of our team gained in numerous space projects including more than 10 ESA missions

We provide high quality thermal and mechanical technical services and products to:

  • industry or research institutions without specifically skilled internal resources
  • companies who need to fulfill project peak loads for short/medium periods
  • new space economy players for Small/Nano satellites development

The unique background of our team in both academic research and space industry ranks OBO SPACE as a suitable partner for the development of both industry-proven or highly innovative solutions for the space market.
