Description	Expleo first developed a 1U cubesat Payload that is part of a space weather observation mission, conducted in collaboration with CSUM, CPUT and SANSA. Building on this first project due for Launch in 2023, Expleo now develops new Payload capabilities that could allow connectivity in difficult zones to provide key services such as Blue Force Tracking (BFT) alternatives (including localization, critical care data…). Expleo is currently finalizing the Assembly Integration and Test of ENSO’s Payload in Toulouse’s clean room that will allow a Launch aboard an international rideshare in 2023. Three projects are currently being developed in the NewSpace sector: one contract for two 1U cubesat Payload for the HYDROSAT Mission of Djibouti (civilian oriented) one R&D project in connectivity and IoT (dual application). one development of a generic test bench dedicated to fast production of nanosatellites (dual application).
Notes	In late 2022, finalized the payloads of its first two nanosatellites in Toulouse, which will be integrated by the Montpellier University Space Center before a launch into orbit scheduled for 2023.
