About

Our mission is to bring to the market cutting-edge solutions to strengthen access to space.
Founded in 2014, spin-off of the University of Trieste (shareholder at 10%), PICOSATS start-up was born from AtmoCube, a previous educational and research activity aimed at the realization of the first small satellite in Trieste.
Our main motivation was to go beyond this initial experience, and arrive to real and innovative products for space. And here we are.

Trieste, the city of science
Trieste is proudly known in Italy as “the City of Science and Knowledge”. In this so-called “Trieste system” there was no commercial space activity although the corresponding research is definitely top level. PICOSATS is filling this gap.
