Portugal should bet in space exploration?

In the early hours of Friday were launched three satellites to the space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China, under the Tianwang-1 mission. These three devices have Portuguese technology Gamalink, developed by the national company Tekever.

“The contribution of Tekever is central to the success of the mission since it will be the Gamalink of Tekever technology that will enable the three satellites that make up the mission work together as a constellation of satellites and not a set of three disconnected satellites, “he said in a statement Ricardo Mendes, CEO of Tekever.

This Portuguese technology was based on another already used in land mobile communications, as mobile phones. It also incorporates the Radio System Cognitive, which serves as support for efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum and has been used in military radios.
