Washington, 23 de marzo de 2026. – ARQUIMEA, a global technology company, strengthens its presence in the U.S. space market after being selected by Lanteris Space Systems, an Intuitive Machines company, to support the development and manufacturing of 18 satellites for the Tranche 3 Tracking Layer constellation, part of the Space Development Agency’s (SDA) Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture Program.

The program falls under the contract awarded to L3Harris Technologies for the delivery of 18 satellites that will contribute to the next generation of space-based detection and tracking capabilities for advanced threats, including hypersonic and ballistic systems.

Under this initiative, ARQUIMEA will manufacture the satellite structures, a critical component within each platform’s architecture. The work will be carried out on Lanteris’ 300 model, a low Earth orbit (LEO) bus designed for high-cadence missions and recurring production. This marks ARQUIMEA’s first collaboration on this specific platform and further strengthens its position as a structural supplier for LEO spacecraft.

The participation in this program consolidates ARQUIMEA’s role as a global provider of structural and thermal hardware for satellites and space vehicles across LEO, MEO and GEO orbits, expanding its footprint in U.S. defense space programs.

The Tranche 3 Tracking Layer will enhance advanced sensing and on-orbit data processing capabilities, contributing to a more resilient space architecture with broader global coverage for defense and allied users.

With this new contract, ARQUIMEA continues to strengthen its presence in constellation programs and reaffirms its commitment to delivering highly reliable and scalable space solutions.

Molefy Pharma, a spin-off of the CSIC and majority-owned by the technology company ARQUIMEA, takes a decisive step in its mission to develop innovative therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with the authorization from the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS) to initiate Phase I of its candidate AP-2 in healthy volunteers.

The trial, which will begin next April at the Clinical Trials Unit of Hospital Universitario de La Princesa (Madrid), will evaluate the safety of the compound in approximately 70 healthy volunteers. This study represents the first step in the clinical development of AP-2 and will generate the necessary data to advance to later stages in patients.

AP-2 acts on TDP-43, a key protein in the pathophysiology of ALS. Alteration of this protein is directly linked to motor neuron degeneration. In preclinical studies, AP-2 has demonstrated its ability to reverse this abnormality and restore its function, both in cellular and animal models, reinforcing its potential as a disease-modifying treatment.

The development of AP-2 has been internationally recognized. In October 2025, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted the compound orphan drug designation, validating its therapeutic relevance and facilitating its clinical development.

Molefy Pharma leads this development with the aim of addressing an unmet medical need. Currently, ALS remains an incurable disease, with limited therapeutic options and a devastating impact on patients’ quality of life.

If the results of this first phase are positive, a Phase Ib trial in patients is expected to begin from 2027 onwards, thus advancing the development of a potential therapy capable of modifying the course of the disease.

Madrid, 17 March, 2026. ARQUIMEA, a technology company specializing in the space sector with more than 20 years of experience, has completed the test model of the structure and thermal system for the QKD-GEO geostationary quantum key distribution payload.

This project, led by Thales Alenia Space, aims to develop Spain’s first geostationary satellite system for quantum key distribution (QKD).

ARQUIMEA was selected by Thales Alenia Space to design and manufacture the full structural model and thermal system for the quantum communications payload. The completion of the system’s test model marks a new milestone and opens the door to the validation and testing phase.

The thermal structure of the geostationary system includes the main panel, radiator panel, heat pipes, and thermal hardware such as thermal blankets. ARQUIMEA’s contribution covers the design, manufacturing, integration, and verification of the satellite’s key thermal elements. All these components are essential to ensure proper satellite performance under the extreme conditions of space.

This achivement represents a decisive step forward in the development of space infrastructure aimed at enhacing communications security through quantum technologies.

The QKD-GEO project seeks to enable ultra-secure communications by generating and distributing cryptographic keys based on the principles of quantum physics, allowing any attempt to intercept the signal to be detected.

The solution designed by Thales Alenia Space in collaboration with Hispasat is based on a geostationary (GEO) space architecture, enabling the transmission of quantum keys over long distances with significantly greater stability and coverage than current terrestrial networks.

With over 20 years of experience in the space sector and participation in over 180 missions, ARQUIMEA has established itself as a key player, applying advanced engineering capabilities and high-performance materials expertise. The company combines cutting-edge technical capabilities, specialized know-how and unique facilities to adress highly complex technological developments.

This program positions Spain at the forefront of secure communication technologies and reinforces its strategic autonomy in a critical domain.
