Alverca Space Hub to Establish Satellite Production Facility in Portugal
Alverca Space Hub is set to invest €1.5 million in a satellite manufacturing facility at the Portuguese Air Force base, aiming to build eight satellites initially. This move addresses a gap in European satellite production capabilities, particularly for synthetic aperture radar technology.

Alverca Space Hub is developing a satellite manufacturing facility at the Portuguese Air Force base with an investment of €1.5 million, expected to be completed by mid-2026. The hub will focus on constructing eight SAR satellites, each weighing 230 kilograms, with plans to serve other European nations in the future.
The Portuguese Air Force announced this initiative alongside the launch of the CA-01 satellite by SpaceX, which is part of the upcoming 'Constelação do Atlântico.' The facility aims to fill a production gap in Europe while ensuring secure integration of satellite technology.
