Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Alba Orbital wants to get more people building and launching their own satellites. We provide a hub of support for the fledgling class of PocketQube satellites by not only building our own platforms but providing parts and launch to companies, universities and space agencies around the world. Alba now employs 15 people and is the largest pico-sat company in the world.
Alba has launched the most amount of PocketQubes compared to any organisation in the world, with six PQs currently on orbit after our first launch on the 6th of December 2019, via the Rocketlab Electron Launch Vehicle.
