If you’re attending SmallSat 2026 in Utah, we'd love to see you there! Here are all the ways you can interact with us.

Ty Fitzgerald and Jeroen Van Weelden are wrapping up their internships with Craft Prospect and our sister company Omanos Analytics as part of the UK Space Agency’s Skills for Space programme.

A behind-the-scenes look from the Craft Prospect lab this week, where Optical Systems Engineer Isabel Scott has been working on alignment for OPS-SAT VOLT’s space-to-ground optical communications chain.

Glasgow-based space engineering company Craft Prospect is progressing the Responsive Operations Engineering Model Testbed activity – also called NanoSatCom – to develop a sophisticated testbed supporting hardware-in-the-loop testing and benchmarking of satellite systems.

We’re delighted to welcome Orli Meiksin and Jeroen Van Weelden to Craft Prospect, and Ty Fitzgerald to our sister company Omanos Analytics, as part of the UK Space Agency’s Skills for Space internship programme!

Glasgow-based space engineering company Craft Prospect has supported the successful completion of an ESA-funded project exploring how advanced machine learning techniques can unlock the potential of foliage-penetrating synthetic aperture radar (FOPEN-SAR) for future Earth observation applications.

We welcomed Senior Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde Annalisa Riccardi to the office last week to give the Craft team a presentation on AI, space systems, and the challenges of building trust in high-stakes technical decisions.

Craft Prospect’s inclusion in the inaugural list is a welcome recognition of the company’s growth, team, and engineer-led approach to delivering innovative space technologies and mission capability from Scotland.

We’re proud to celebrate the brilliant women at Craft Prospect who make up such a vital part of our team and our success. Their expertise, leadership, ideas, and determination are woven through everything we do, from mission delivery and technical innovation to team culture and company growth. The work we do simply would not be possible without them.

Natalia’s four-month placement focused on a challenging and highly relevant area of autonomous space operations: relative pose estimation. The goal was to develop a machine-learning-based method that enables a spacecraft to estimate the relative position, orientation, and distance of another spacecraft using onboard imagery.

It was an enormous pleasure to welcome Barry Ross to our offices last week and hear his insights on growing a space business.

Our Head of Commercial Hina Khan spoke with the BBC this morning about NASA's Artemis II launch. Hear what she had to say via the link below!

We’re delighted to share that Georgia Harvey has stepped into the role of Space Operations Cell Lead at Craft Prospect.

Glasgow-based space engineering company Craft Prospect Ltd (CPL) has partnered with GMV to deliver an advanced avionics demonstrator incorporating cutting-edge machine learning (ML) techniques to enhance onboard autonomy for small satellite missions.

Last week, our Head of Commercial Hina Khan joined BBC Sounds Scotcast to discuss the enduring strength and momentum of Scotland’s space sector, and how many companies across the country remain at the forefront of world-class space innovation, including Craft Prospect’s work developing secure space systems, autonomy, and technologies supporting climate services and resilience.

The goal of DiQSC was to deliver a holistic view of how entanglement distribution in space-based networks could enable quantum-enhanced sensing, including potential mission use cases and a development roadmap toward future demonstrator missions.

We were delighted to welcome colleagues from the European Space Agency - ESA to our Glasgow office and lab recently as part of the ongoing progress toward OPS-SAT VOLT’s Integration Readiness Review (IRR) — the next major milestone on the road to launch.

Glasgow-based space engineering company Craft Prospect Ltd (CPL) has kicked off a new project with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop AI-driven tools for validating real-world space flight software. The project, AI Test Library for Autonomous Software (ATLAS), will create a suite of advanced multimodal AI capabilities designed to strengthen the verification and validation processes required for next-generation on-board autonomy. These tools will support the assurance

A lot of incredible work happens in Craft’s state-of-the-art engineering lab. Thanks to our stellar team, that work has been translating into significant progress across the OPS-SAT VOLT project.

Our Chief Engineer for Optics Luis José Salazar-Serrano spoke to S3 students from across Scotland as part of the ‘Space to Learn’ careers conference, hosted at the Glasgow Science Centre in partnership with the National Space Academy.
