In September, Intelsat, Viasat+Inmarsat, the European Space Agency (ESA) and SWISSto12 announced that the HummingSat programme was able to achieve what the company referred to as ‘major’ progress in its Preliminary Design Reviews ahead of its scheduled Intelsat 45 and Inmarsat 8 missions.

SWISSto12 also secured over $15 million contracts with aeronautical OEMs to provide equipment for improving maritime safety.

The company expanded its facilities in Renens, Switzerland, with additional production space and state-of-the-art clean room to reach a total footprint of 5,700 m2. Production capacity was further expanded with the acquisition of four MetalFabG2 metal Additive Manufacturing machines from Additive Industries.

SWISSto12’s US-based entity (St12 RF Solutions Inc) also won major contracts through 2024, delivering integrated RF Antenna Feed Chain products to Northrop Grumman for its GEOStar-3 product as well as continuing deliveries of antenna products to Lockheed Martin Space.
