The three Chinese satellites Tianwang -1 mission already in orbit after a successful launch that took place at three am, Portuguese time. And that means “now, Portugal is also breaking space,” he said in a statement the administrator of Tekever, Ricardo Mendes.
The Portuguese technology developed system communication team the three Chinese satellites: Tianwang-1A (SECM-1), Tianwang-1B (Njust-2) and Tianwang-1C (NJFA-1). The Gamalink system, whose name is inspired by the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama, ensures the equipment communications.
The technology developed by Tekever allows the three satellites “talk” to each other, creating a “constellation”. The Chinese mission is based on the Cubesat satellites.
The agreement on the partnership between Tekever and the Micro-Satellite Engineering Center in Shanghai (SECM its acronym in English) was signed in April 2014, with the technology started to be delivered in March this year.
