Fundao para a Cincia e a Tecnologia (FCT) is the naonal

funding agency for science and research in Portugal. FCT promotes

internaonally compeve and high i mpact science, technology and

innovaon across all areas of knowledge, including eact, natural and

health sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanies.

The FCT Space Oce addresses all space related issues. It is strongly

commied to strengthening the parcipaon of Portuguese researchers

and entrepreneurs in space-related acvies and in bringing the

benets of developing space sciences, technologies and its applicaonsto Portuguese cizens.

MIGUEL SEABRAPresident of the Fundao para a Cincia e a Tecnologia

Towards the end of 2000, Portugal became a member state of the European Space

Agency, thus paving the way to full parcipaon in ESA technology and applicaons

programmes. The success achieved by Portuguese companies and research instutes

in the European Union programmes, namely in FP7, Copernicus (formerly known

as GMES) and Galileo is proof that Portuguese companies and academia are both

compeve and reliable partners.

Indeed, Portugal contributes to most European Space programmes, covering key

domains of space applicaons, ranging from satellite telecommunicaons, global

navigaon systems, Earth observaon, space technology, space sciences and roboc

eploraon. The Portuguese Space Community is an acve member of internaonal

networks, developing comple space technologies and parcipang in space science

and eploraon missions. This community is made up of innovave, knowledge-

intensive companies, specialised research instutes and modern public instuons,

all strongly engaged in advancing space science, technologies and their applicaon

in non-space sectors. Indeed, one of the s uccess factors of the Portuguese SpaceCommunity is precisely the close links between companies and academia.

The pivotal and growing role of Space-based systems, services and applicaons

in modern society is undisputable. The increasing ubiquity of space technologies

in everyday modern life has been essenal for the success of European Space

Programmes, but has also led to a signicant growth, in number and investment,

in space research acvies in China, India, and Brazil. These changes present new

challenges and urge the need to prepare for new opportunies.

Portugal has already reaped the benets of its investment in space programmes, as

reected in a signicant economic mulplier eect, a parcularly high-growth added

value and an important internaonalisaon leverage eect. Furthermore, space

science and technologies provide a powerful source of inspiraon, encing people to

learn more about the Universe and engaging youngsters in scienc and engineering

careers.

The Portuguese funding agency for science and research, Fundao para a Cincia

e a Tecnologia (FCT), has a pivotal role i n encouraging parcipaon of Portuguese

companies and research instutes in space acvies and space missions. FCT

supports advanced training of engineers in ESA and promotes technology transfer

and business incubaon. FCT also plays an important role in the coordinated acons

of several Ministries contribung to ESA and other European space programmes.

The Portuguese Space Catalogue portrays a representave overview of the

Portuguese Space Community, describing their main competencies in space sci ence,

space technologies and their corresponding applicaons. We hope that you will

nd it a useful guide for a deeper understanding of the varied and rich landscape of

Portuguese companies and research instutes in the space domain.

THE PORTUGUESE ASSOCIATION OF SPACE INDUSTRIES

PROESPAO was created in 2003 aer Portugal joined the European Space Agency (ESA). TheAssociaon unites the Portuguese space industry, defending its interests through intensivedealings with the public administraon, the government and internaonal organisaons. Itplays a key role in dening Portugals naonal strategy for the space industry and prepares thesectors industrial development strategy.

Given the highly instuonal nature of the space industry market and the relavely small sizeof companies operang in the sector, PROESPAO promotes a wide range of space-relatedacvies, bringing together the eorts of its individual members. It also represents its members

in negoaons with public bodies and, when requested, in talks with major companies, whenmembers interests can be beer defended by a common posion.

PROESPAO currently represents more than 95% of the business contracted to the Portuguesespace industry and is the only organisaon that represents their interests.

Producon and service companies operang in the space sector, namely in the areas relangto ESA, EUMETSAT, European C ommission Framework Programmes and NASA, are welcome tojoin the associaon.

Capacitors are fundamental components that store, lter, andregulate electrical energy and current ow. They are found in allelectronic applicaons and products used today, including computer,telecommunicaon, automove, military and aerospace, medical,industrial/instrumentaon, and consumer market segments.

High Reliability versions of KEMET Corporaon capacitors wereused in every important military and aerospace eort from the rstTelstar to Viking, the Apollo moon landing, the Patriot missile, andthe Mir and Internaonal Space Staons.

The market for capacitors covers a large and diverse group of originalequipment manufacturers (OEMs), electronics manufacturingservices (EMS) providers, and electronics distributors around theworld.

For KEMET Portugal, the main area of experse, has been telecomand automove segment, including safety applicaons as ABS orairbags.

KEMET Electronics Portugal, SA, is a 100% subsidiary company fromthe US Company KEMET Corporaon that manufactures TantalumCapacitors Surface Mounted Devices with MnO2 and Polymercounter-electrodes and more recently Aluminum electrolyccapacitors.

The plant is located in vora, south of Portugal and had the ocialopening at 4th September 1998. In April 2012 KEMET Portugalexpanded the range of experse starng up with aluminumelectrolyc capacitors technology, with the introducon of a snap-in line followed shortly by a screw terminal line, being actually infast ramp up.

Solid Tantalum SMD Capacitors

Solid Ta capacitors are one of KEMET s main products,produced in Portugal with MnO2 and conducve polymercathode technology.

Surface mount technology tantalum capacitors keep beingused in new circuit designs due to their volumetric eciency,basic reliability and process compability.

The steady-state and dynamic reliability of a Ta capacitor areinuenced by several factors under the control of the circuitdesign engineer, such as voltage derang, ripple currentand voltage condions, maximum operang temperatureand circuit impedance, as the electrical characteriscs aredetermined by its structure, and are very dependent ondesign and materials.

As part of KEMET strategy, vora plant is developing projectsto start mass producon of high reliable solid Ta capacitorsfor Military and Aerospace industries, including the EuropeanSpace.

Aluminum Electrolyc Capacitors

The aluminum electrolyc capacitor consists basically of twofoils interleaved with an absorbent paper wound ghtly into

a cylinder. Their main advantage is the high capacitance perunit volume due to its internal construcon which consists ofa very thin dielectric layer and large eecve surface area.

The reliability, low cost and wide selecon of package size andcombinaon of properes, have made them the starng pointfor capacitor selecon in many applicaons.

The sharp increase in atmospheric CO2 creates useopportunies for this gas such as recycling, deemedunaracve before the current emission restricons and highfuel prices. Electrochemical reducon of CO2 into energydense hydrocarbons is possible and has been demonstrated,with a real possibility for usage in baery substuon bystoring energy as hydrocarbons.
