AMIGO actuators from Occam Space

ESA supports and accelerates disruptive technologies that will best meet ESA’s future space transportation needs for the 2025–2040 period under an ESA initiative called FIRST! – Future Innovation Research in Space Transportation.

AMIGO is a family of resettable, fast actuation, low shock and non-explosive actuators from Occam Space, a Spanish start-up company.

This affordable technology is smart and simple and offers fast actuation ranging from 500N to 200kN preload. These devices could be used in rocket stage separations and fairing release in a synchronised firing, and other types of separation in space
