NewSpace Lab
The NewSpace Lab makes available to the public a series of equipment from the NewSpace sector in Catalonia to facilitate its visibility within the local ecosystem.
The NewSpace Lab is an initiative promoted by the Generalitat de Catalunya, with the support of the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC), as part of the NewSpace Strategy approved by the Catalan Government in 2020.
Access to equipment for carrying out tests and developing components is an essential need within the space sector, and specifically within the scope of NewSpace. This initiative seeks to map the facilities linked to the NewSpace sector in Catalonia, with the aim of facilitating their use, promoting them at local and international level, and providing support for their improvement, either by maximizing the use of already existing equipment, or by developing other infrastructure where needs are detected.
A portal has been created, accessible to the public, to be a reference point for the equipment of the NewSpace sector in Catalonia to facilitate their visibility. An inventory of the existing infrastructure and capacities has been carried out, in collaboration with the companies and entities that own them. Below, you will find the list of those facilities which have been confirmed to be present on the portal:
If you are interested in any of these infrastructures or would like to be part of the NewSpace Lab, please let us know by sending an email to info-apec@ieec.cat.
