What Sanzar Group does

Sanzar Group is a privately-held deep-tech company headquartered in Leganés, Spain, operating with 1-10 employees across four technology platforms spanning space, agriculture, medical robotics, and autonomous logistics. Its flagship product, SanzarADCS, is a patented Attitude Determination and Control System for small satellites that uses Variable Speed Control Moment Gyroscopes (VSCMGs) in a linear four-actuator configuration combined with an SRUKF sensor fusion algorithm. The technology was advanced from TRL2 to TRL6 during a two-year incubation at ESA BIC Madrid completed in April 2026, with ground validation performed at INTA and the IDR/UPM air-bearing facility in compliance with ECSS standards. Beyond space, Sanzar offers an Agricultural Irrigation App that combines IoT soil sensors with weather-forecast integration to deliver precision irrigation recommendations, an autonomous dual-arm laparoscopic surgical robot developed with IDIVAL and Hospital Virtual Valdecilla, and a hybrid Logistic Flying Car concept for urban last-mile delivery.

Sanzar's business model is multi-stream. In space, the company targets enterprise small-satellite operators through a combined licensing and direct-sales model, with first commercial ADCS turnover forecast for 2026 and international expansion targeted for 2028. In agriculture, the platform is positioned as affordable and customizable for farmers of any size, implying a low-cost subscription or hardware-plus-software sale. Partnerships anchor commercial credibility: ESA BIC Madrid and Fundación madri+d provided incubation support, INTA and IDR/UPM provided technical validation, IDIVAL and Hospital Virtual Valdecilla co-developed the surgical platform, and the Enterprise Europe Network offered broader European market access. No pricing tiers or named customers are publicly disclosed.

The company is pre-revenue at present, financed by approximately $1.53M in cumulative non-dilutive grants from CDTI, ICEX España, ESA BIC Barcelona, Eureka Network, and an additional unlabelled 2023 round. Its growth strategy is built on converting validated technology into commercial ADCS sales, expanding the agricultural user base, and progressing the medical and logistics prototypes toward market.

Products and services

• SanzarADCS Patented Attitude Determination and Control System for small satellites (2-100+ kg), combining novel Variable Speed Control Moment Gyroscopes (VSCMGs) in a linear configuration with four actuators and SRUKF sensor fusion algorithms. Delivers high-torque, high-agility pointing with lower mass and volume, targeting satellite operators in imaging, communications, disaster monitoring, and Earth observation.
• Agricultural Irrigation App Smart agriculture web and mobile GIS platform combining in-field IoT soil sensors (temperature, electrical conductivity, moisture) with temperature and rainfall forecasts to deliver precise irrigation recommendations and automated alerts. Designed to be affordable and customizable for farmers and agricultural operations of any size.
• Autonomous Laparoscopic Surgical Robot Dual-arm robotic surgical platform built on Kinova Gen2 arms with custom support structure, featuring autonomous suturing, precision cutting, real-time obstacle avoidance, and multimodal in-situ measurement (±2mm accuracy). Designed for hospitals and surgical teams to reduce surgeon fatigue and improve surgical precision in laparoscopic procedures. Developed in collaboration with IDIVAL and Hospital Virtual Valdecilla.
• Logistic Flying Car (LFC) Hybrid unmanned vehicle that flies between destinations and seamlessly switches to autonomous ground mode in restricted airspace zones, with 23+ km range per charge, 360-degree obstacle avoidance, and 60% faster delivery than ground-only couriers. Targeted at urban logistics providers needing compliant autonomous last-mile delivery.
