Renewal of insurance contracts for the Liège Space Center (CSL) in 3 lots

The Liège Space Center (CSL) is an applied research center of the University of Liège (ULiège), without legal personality distinct from the latter, whose activity is focused on the design, development, integration, qualification and calibration of space instruments. The CSL also has a cutting-edge environmental testing center serving the European Space Agency (ESA), the space industry and regional companies. Its remarkable equipment notably consists of tanks of different diameters installed in ultra-clean rooms (ISO7 clean room with ISO5 local zones) and making it possible to simulate the severe space environment in which the satellites and their instruments will have to operate.

The CSL also has the stimuli and optical calibration systems, as well as the thermal regulation capabilities (including cryogenics), necessary for the validation of the systems and instruments that it designs or which are entrusted to it. In this context, the CSL is required to conclude various service contracts, mainly with space agencies, leading research centers or industrial clients (in particular for commercial applications), including AIRBUS and telecom companies. These services generally aim either to carry out a STUDY, or to carry out a TEST (with or without manipulation by CSL staff), or to DEVELOP INSTRUMENT(S). Based on its know-how from space projects, the CSL also offers support and training services in research & development, in space or in other industrial fields: expertise in mechanical and thermal design (in particular solar photovoltaic and thermal applications), optical design and metrology (support in metrology problems - particularly with regard to the development of metrology instrumentation for
