SENER Poland commenced its activities in 2006, and since 2012 has focu-sed on developing innovative solutions in space engineering for the key pro-jects of ESA, NASA and ESO. SENER Poland specialises in two fields of me-chanical engineering:

• Deployment and hold-down mechanisms – essential for transportation of space vehicles in the launch vehicles’ loading spaces, and for subsequent deployment of solar panels, antennas and measuring instruments.
• Mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE) – used e.g. for precise repositioning of satellites in order to facilitate access for technicians, and for transportation to test chambers and loading spaces. There are just a few companies in Europe that design such devices.
