Key Capabilities
Facilities for Aerospace and Space Electronics Development
ESD -Safe Workstation
For the development, assembly and verification of custom electronics, we use a controlled ESD-safe workstation designed for handling sensitive electronic components, SMD electronics, printed circuit boards, prototypes and small-series assemblies.
The workstation enables us to safely assemble, commission and functionally verify electronic devices, measurement modules, test fixtures, electromechanical assemblies and subsystems for advanced technology, CubeSat and SmallSat applications. Our activities include handling ESD-sensitive components, manual assembly, preparation of cabling and interfaces, integration of electronics into mechanical assemblies, basic measurements and functional testing.
Experimental Strain Measurement Laboratory
AUREL provides experimental strain measurements and integrates them with numerical simulations. In collaboration with specialised engineering teams across the Group, we combine FEA, measurement methodology design, strain gauge installation and experimental validation of results. Based on calculations and measurements, our engineering team can also propose structural and design modifications to components or assemblies. This provides the customer with a comprehensive process, from numerical design and verification of the behaviour of the physical component through to recommendations for specific technical modifications.
Engineering
We develop and integrate technical solutions from initial requirements through to fully functional equipment. We bring together mechanical design, electronics, electrical design, cabling, firmware, software, simulations, testing and manufacturing preparation.
Our engineering services cover the development of electronic devices, special-purpose machines, measurement and test fixtures, electromechanical assemblies and subsystems for CubeSat and SmallSat applications, as well as the optimisation of mechanical components such as gear trains and transmission mechanisms.
We help customers transform technical requirements into specific solutions that can be manufactured, tested, integrated and further developed. We focus on technical feasibility, coordination across engineering disciplines, testability, documentation and the practical usability of the final solution.
Project Management
We prepare, coordinate and manage development and research projects within funding programmes, particularly ESA and Horizon Europe calls. We support the formulation of project concepts, definition of technical activities, partner coordination, deliverable planning and project implementation management.

Projects We Are Part Of
Cevro Sat 1.1
As part of the CevroSat 1.1 project, which builds on the original CevroSat 1.0 satellite platform, we are contributing to the development of a modified satellite structure for the planned test flight of a new launch vehicle by Relativity Space.
Working with colleagues from ČVC Electronics, our engineers completely redesigned the original satellite structure. LENAM specialists then carried out numerical simulations, particularly modal and frequency analyses, to verify the dynamic behaviour of the structure.
Our activities also include supporting the integration of satellite peripheral components, preparing manufacturing documentation and providing technical support during manufacturing at PaIC TUKE, subsequent assembly and qualification vibration testing in an accredited laboratory. The development also includes the preparation of strain-gauge monitoring and temperature measurements for validation of simulation models, as well as the design of measurement and analysis modules to monitor the satellite’s behaviour during testing and launch.

Development of the JARMIL Rocket Propulsion System
AUREL is a member of the consortium developing the JARMIL rocket propulsion system under the fourth call of the European Space Agency (ESA). Within the consortium, we provide technical coordination, design support and development activities related to this solution.
The JARMIL propulsion system delivers a significant increase in combustion chamber pressure through a novel cycle using electrically driven gear pumps. The solution enables a high specific impulse while providing further potential for increased performance and reusability of the entire system.
EPC-2K is a part of the project focused on the development of an electrically driven gear pump. We collaborate on the project with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at TUKE and its PaIC prototyping centre, as well as with LENAM, Stellar Exploration and Inpraise Systems.

Research as a Strategic Direction
Research and development are a deliberate part of AUREL’s long-term strategy. We are members of technology consortia and actively participate in projects and project opportunities related to ESA programmes, aerospace and advanced technology applications. Our role is built on our ability to combine engineering, custom electronics, experimental measurement, validation and simulation support. For us, research is not a standalone academic activity, but a route to verifiable outcomes with practical applications.
We do not see aerospace as an extension of our automotive activities. It is a strategic field in its own right, in which we are systematically developing specialised facilities for the development, testing and validation of advanced technologies with applications extending beyond aerospace. We have experienced specialists to draw on and the know-how to deliver tangible results.

SMD Electronics for Advanced & Space Applications
We design and develop custom SMD electronics for advanced and space applications – from CubeSat solutions and power management to experimental measurement modules. Our expertise is not limited to space projects; we also apply the same know-how to systems for drones, machinery and other industrial measurement applications.
