A new paradigm for a safer space
At SAFEST we bring efficient and low-cost solutions to reinforce the European launcher sector
Pricey situation
Current standards for launch safety require expensive ground infrastructures. The high demand for space access calls for new ways to maintain safety at lower costs.
Cheaper solution
Through an Autonomous Flight Termination System and the integration of new software and hardware approaches, we will reduce costs and increase performance for a more accessible space.
Better outcome
Our project will knock down barriers for European universities to enter the space sector. This will increase the societal benefits by enabling low-cost missions, and it will lower the environmental footprint.
Leading technology for an affordable space
A game changing approach that will benefit the avionics sector
By transferring safety operations from ground to an Autonomous Flight Termination Unit on board the launcher and developing a modular avionics architecture, we will achieve lower costs and more efficient performance. This will reduce the environmental impact of space transportation and place Europe in a better position in the space competition.

XtratuM/NG (XNG) in SAFEST
XtratuM-Next Generation (XNG) is a Type I hypervisor designed to achieve temporal and spatial isolation of safety critical applications sharing a common hardware execution platform by means of the use of hardware virtualization technologies. XNG provides the services needed by safety-critical systems such as partition management, support for system [...]
Smart Avionics arrives to Europe thanks to SAFEST Project
SAFEST Project, one of the European Commission-funded selected projects of the Digital, Industry and Space call, was launched last January 2023. The consortium of this challenging project will join the experience of a leading space provider like SENER Aerospace & Defence, a launch service company as ISAR Aerospace, space [...]
