Problem
Developers of satellite payloads, spacecraft, and advanced robotic systems need motion‑control hardware that can survive extreme temperature, radiation, and vibration conditions while also being qualified for flight, but existing solutions are often bulky, costly, and have long lead times.
Solution
Novium delivers end‑to‑end engineering of hardware that operates reliably on Earth, in orbit, and beyond. The company designs, manufactures, and qualifies components such as the rad‑hardened Zeta motor controller, a 2‑axis precision gimbal for antenna pointing, and the TerraNova modular robotic arm, all built to AS9100 quality standards. Leveraging more than six decades of combined robotics and aerospace experience, Novium provides rapid prototyping, detailed qualification testing, and full documentation to turn a concept into flight‑ready hardware. Their expertise in embedded control, actuator electronics, and distributed robotic architectures ensures performance across low‑Earth orbit, MEO, GEO, and lunar environments. Customers receive custom engineering support, streamlined development cycles, and post‑delivery services that keep systems aligned with evolving mission requirements.
Target Audience
Primary customers are satellite manufacturers, spacecraft integrators, defense contractors, and robotics firms that require space‑qualified motion‑control hardware and end‑to‑end engineering services.
