Research Unleashed

SnT in Orbit Luxembourg is a country with its eyes on the stars – and SnT is helping it turn its science-fiction dreams into an economic reality. Our researchers explore the challenges and opportunities of space, hand-in-hand with industry-leading partners. From Earthbound satellite receivers, to state-of-the-art nanosatellites and autonomous lunar robots, researchers at SnT infuse Luxembourg’s vibrant space industry with new perspectives and innovative solutions. We are proud to be part of the most dynamic ecosystem for applied space innovation in Europe.
