Composite manufacturing of Satellite structural panels and parts, is at the heart of the production activities of INASCO HELLAS.

We offer a portfolio of CFRP primary, secondary and tertiary structures and CFRP structural parts for all development models of a Satellite or a Spacecraft: BB, STM, QM and PFM, and recurring Flight Models (FM).

Combining Flight-qualified production processes, with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and unique in-house expertise, we produce high quality parts whilst maintaining an optimum lead time. By developing in-house custom production tools, we offer to our customers a range of CFRP parts of various geometries and profiles.

Our production processes and expertise produce final structural panels and parts, that are compliant to the stringent dimensional and flatness tolerances needed for Flight-qualified parts.
