About SAB CTRL Space
SAB CTRL Space s.r.o. was founded in 2024 as a fusion of CTRL s.r.o. and S.A.B. Aerospace s.r.o., intending to share its knowledge and resources and enter the new space markets.
SAB CTRL Space designs, develops and integrates electronic systems, subsystems, and components for the European Space Agency (ESA) and public and private companies in the space industry.
The company’s intention is to become a leader in small mission development and integration and to create a unique technological capability that will strengthen Slovakia’s position as an important part of the European space value chain.

Our projects
In more than 15 years of activities, SAB and CTRL have been involved in several projects involving electrical, mechatronic, and mechanical design, thermal and structural analyses of space systems and subsystems, high-precision mechanical integration activities, testing activities, and the manufacturing of flight hardware and ground support equipment.
SSMS

Since 2020 we enable Vega rockets to launch tens of small satellites in a single flight by using our SSMS structure, tailored to the needs of our customers.
PLATO SVM

PLATO uses 26 stargazing cameras tailor-made for the space environment. We provide specialised transport containers to make sure that they are safe and clean while being moved or stored on the ground.
ROSE-L

We provide the structure and thermal control system for this next generation European radar mission. ROSE-L will map areas with heavy vegetation, like forests and farms, while also assisting with ice cover monitoring.
A6 Sequencer

Ariane 6 is able to carry over 20 tonnes of satellites into low earth orbit. Our sequencer will allow it to carry as many satellites as needed and separate them exactly when required, increasing launch flexibility to meet the needs of the market.
Biomission

Together with researchers, we implement their experiments for on-board studies on the International Space Station. We provide end-to-end solutions according to their concepts so that the scientists can focus on science.
IOSLAB

Space Rider presents an unique opportunity for researchers to send their payloads on a roundtrip to space. IOSLAB is how we make that even easier – interfacing our customers‘ devices with Space Rider and adding all accommodations they need to make the most of their flight.
SLAVIA

An ambitious Czech mission involving a large part of our space science and industry, with SAB leading the development. These 2 satellites will demonstrate technologies for future space mining missions, while also providing unique data for scientific study of meteors, planetary defense and commercialization of space resources.
IOSHEX

We aim to enable in-orbit services, such as satellite and cargo transport, in-orbit assembly and manufacturing, or even building of large space structures. IOSHEX is how we plan to do it – a modular robotic spacecraft utilizing new technologies to revolutionize how we do space.
Sentinel S1-NG

Sentinel 1 remains the backbone of European Earth observation capabilities, providing consistent and weather-independent mapping of the surface. It is now time to build a new generation of Sentinel 1 satellites – and we provide the structure and thermal design for the spacecraft and its radar payload.
LCS4
The Low Cost Separation System is our product for small satellites. Offering state-of-the-art performance at a low cost, it complements SSMS in enabling the European small satellite ecosystem.
