Company Profile

Tyvak International SRL is one of the operating groups and the first international branch of Terran Orbital Corporation. Terran Orbital teams are leading innovators and providers of nanosatellites and microsatellite space vehicle products that target advanced state-of-the-art capabilities for government and commercial customers to support operationally and scientifically relevant missions.

Tyvak International represents the most advanced and vertical integrated offer in the market of small space vehicle products and services. The proprietary technology and know-how, based upon the continuous progress in the miniaturization of semiconductors, enable to develop, design and commercialize small satellites platforms faster and cheaper with respect to traditional satellites systems. This also provides considerable opportunities to exploit the space more effectively and profitably.

 

Founded in 2015, Tyvak International has executed considerable space engineering projects, from mission concepts and feasibility studies to Nanosatellite development and integration, launch integration services and procurement of launch opportunities, on orbit operations for commercial and institutional customers at international level. The company has established partnerships with important stakeholders of the Aerospace Industry such as SMEs, Large System Integrators (LSI), Research centers and Universities. Tyvak International executes R&D programs with several of them focused on breakthrough technologies which will contribute in the next future to foster the company’s growth.

Tyvak capabilities include mission & system design, software and hardware manufacturing, assembly, integration & verification, mission services, launch integration & insurance services, on orbit operations. The company’s growth strategy included the partnership with local universities, research entities and advanced technology suppliers, in the Italian and European regional areas. Tyvak will maintain control of integration processes and will expand as needed in response to advanced space mission needs in the European framework.
