What REMRED does
REMRED Ltd. is a Hungarian space engineering company headquartered in Budapest, founded in 2016 as a spin-off from the Centre for Energy Research's pioneer space research group with over 50 years of accumulated space engineering experience. The company designs and manufactures space-qualified radiation monitoring instruments, dosimetry systems, and satellite subsystem electronics, including the PILLE thermoluminescent dosimetry system (40+ years continuous operation on the ISS), the TRITEL 3D silicon-detector dosimetry telescope, the RML-RAD / RADLITE / RADMAG-L space weather monitors, and complex interface electronics such as the IDA E-BOX for the NASA Lunar Gateway and the SDT E-BOX for the Mars Sample Return Earth Return Orbiter. All designs follow ECSS standards and the company maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ECSS-Q-ST-20-07C certifications.
REMRED generates revenue through three interconnected streams: (1) hardware sales of space-qualified dosimetry systems, radiation monitors, power supply units, digital processing modules and FPGA-based interface electronics delivered to space agencies and satellite integrators; (2) engineering services covering space production, cleanroom assembly, and environmental testing (thermal vacuum, vibration, shock, radiation) under ECSS and military standards; and (3) mission operations services providing real-time scientific and engineering support for in-house developed space systems. The company's primary customer segments are governmental space agencies (ESA, NASA, JAXA, DLR), satellite integrators (Airbus Defence and Space, ThalesAlenia Space, Redwire Space), the Hungarian Ministry of Defence, and research institutions. Following a EUR 25 million investment by 4iG Space and Technology Plc. in May 2024 for a 45% stake, REMRED is building the REMTECH Space MAIT Centre in Martonvásár — a 4,000 sqm facility with 1,500 sqm of ISO8 and ISO5 cleanrooms — to manufacture, assemble, integrate and test satellites up to 400 kg and position itself as a one-stop-shop for satellite solutions in Central Eastern Europe.
