The 700th satellite separation was celebrated with the Swedish space minister Matilda Ernkrans in Linkoping, Sweden, where RUAG is producing its separation systems. In February RUAG Space has successfully placed over 700 satellites in space. "This is a huge achievement which highlights the outstanding capabilities we have in satellite separation," says Peter Guggenbach, Executive Vice President of RUAG Space. "Able to meet customer expectations in the extreme environment of space" The 700 successful satellite separations are the result of a long and trusted collaboration with NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) as well as an increasingly advanced position in the commercial space industry in recent years.
