Irish innovation powers Airbus and NASA space missions

Two Irish space-tech companies are making headlines globally. Dublin-based InnaLabs has supplied its ARIETIS-NS inertial navigation system to Airbus’ latest CO3D satellites, launching today to provide high-resolution Earth imaging. This marks a milestone for Irish engineering, with InnaLabs’ compact, radiation-tolerant technology supporting mission stability and precision.

Meanwhile, Ubotica’s AI-powered payload, deployed on a NASA satellite, has successfully enabled real-time image targeting from orbit. The breakthrough ‘Dynamic Targeting’ system helps satellites avoid clouds and autonomously detect wildfires or storms — a major shift from passive imaging to intelligent observation.
