2022, February – Mobile World Congress in Barcelona
Hydra Space was present for second time at the Mobile World Congress on Barcelona, Spain between 28 February to March 3 (Hall 6 – 4YFN Stand 6A14).
2022, February – Hydra Space doubles its technical innovation space at Madrid
Hydra Space has doubled its technical and innovation facilities at Madrid, located in the local goverment community for start-ups known as ‘La Nave’ following its successful beginning of space technology deployment following the January SpaceX Transporter 3 mission launch. This will allow to almost duplicate its engineering work force, something needed to address the next iterations of the satellite technology being developed by the company.
2022, February – Usyncro and Hydra Space agreement for improving mission traceability using Blockchain technology
Usyncro has expertise in helping companies to improve the traceability in all the steps of a production chain. Usyncro will test its Blockchain-based technology to track Hydra Space future missions, from the design to the delivery of the satellites at the launch facilities. This agreement will allow to exploit the natural synergy between the two companies.
2022, January – Avion Revue reviews EASAT-2 and Hades, Hydra Space technology satellites mission
The aerospace paper and digital magazine Avion Revue made a review of the successful EASAT-2 and HADES launch. These satellites were designed and built in collaboration with the European University of Madrid. They are open for use to the scientific and radio community through the non-profit organization AMSAT-EA. The article also shows future plans and missions of the company.

2022, January – Received and decoded the first signals from Hydra-Space team satellites
First signals from EASAT-2 and Hades were successfully received on January 16th. The decoded telemetry confirmed that both satellites are in good health, showing nominal values for their main operational parameters. These two engineering models of the satellite platform enable the in-orbit verification of the design and will enable the company to continue improving and fine-tuning their plans for the deployment of a satellite constellation. EASAT-2 and Hades are open for use to the scientific community, providing voice and data communication services.
2022, January – Hydra Space team technology on satellites to launch on January 13th on SpaceX Falcon-9
The launch is a key milestone for Hydra Space, in our effort to provide cost effective access to space and worldwide IoT communications. With these satellites, we lay the foundations for our strategic vision: an IoT constellation for smart agriculture, climate, environment and oceans monitoring, in line with United Nations 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. These satellites were built in collaboration with Universidad Europea and include Hydra Space IoT technology solution. Tested and qualified at Instituto Universitario de Microgravedad (IDR/UPM), they will be fully open to the scientific and radio community thanks to AMSAT-EA. One of the satellites carries a basalt rock provided by the CSIC research group on meteorites and planetary geosciences (CSIC-IGEO) and ETSICCP (UPM). An experiment to test the suitability of this material for construction purposes on the Moon will be performed in orbit. The second satellite includes a miniature SSTV camera, developed by Brno University of Technology.
Hydra Space technology is also the platform of choice for EU2SPACE project, that will allow +400 university students to deliver their experiments to space in 2022. Hydr Space technical office is located at La Nave-Madrid, where the engineering team will closely monitor the satellites launch and deployment.
Stay tuned for the 2 second launch of two additional satellites, end of January 2022!
