H.S.T. - Space Equipment Assembly & Integration Capability

Space Equipment Assembly & Integration Capability

About

The HST was created in 1998 as part of the UTE Group:
a team of skilled operators and technicians expert in opto-mechanical assembly and integra on for space hardware.

The initial tasks of the team were:

The first priority was to maintain the highest quality standard of the products and of the used technological processes, passing the continuous and rigorous qualifica on tests imposed by LEONARDO Company.

Our team, our service.
We have accomplished this success by maintaining the highest standards of the new clean room and the new personnel quality in our work, thanks to decades of experience achieved in AIV activities for Space hardware, operational excellence in high performance Clean Room
working environment.
Intimacy and satisfaction of our Customers, achieved by meeting deadlines and by pricing our work fairly and competitively.

Since 2005 HST contributed to AIT activity on subassembles in LDO Payloads instruments or main LDO Space units:

New programmes now in development:

Progetto SMART - Spettrometro Miniaturizzato Avanzato per Ricerca Tecnologica Have the support of skilness of the personnel and facili]es of HST, taking advantage of the flexibility, lean production approach.

Why HST

Schedule reasons:

Mitigation of schedule risks

Mitigation of schedule risks

Mitigation of schedule risks is mandatory: it imposes to consider outsourcing with qualified and successfully verified suppliers.

Heritage and capability

Heritage and capability

HST specific skills, heritage and capability: as above described, HST has skilled personnel and a long experience in assembling and testing LDO Space Sensor products, as already done for many other LDO Customers.
