===Space===
Space (SPD), providing on-board electronics and software for satellites as well as control centres. Key focus areas are [[power conditioning]] systems and [[star tracker]]s for satellites.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}

====Power conditioning units====
Terma delivers power conditioning systems to a series of major space products, including ESA's BepiColombo and [[Rosetta (spacecraft)|Rosetta]]. In the case of BepiColombo, the power conditioning unit is the most powerful used on missions by the ESA with a capacity of 14&nbsp;kW powered by solar energy on its destination planet Mercury.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.esa.int/dan/ESA_in_your_country/Denmark/Dansk_stroemforsyning_skal_til_Merkur/(print) |title=Dansk strømforsyning skal til Merkur |website=Esa.int |accessdate=1 August 2018}}</ref>

In the Rosetta project Terma has developed a 64 square meter solar panel providing power at down to four percent of the Earth's solar energy and at working temperatures down to -130 degrees Celsius.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.denstoredanske.dk/It,_teknik_og_naturvidenskab/Astronomi/Rumfart/Satellitter_og_rumsonder/Rosetta |title=Rosetta - Gyldendal - Den Store Danske |website=Denstoredanske.dk |accessdate=1 August 2018}}</ref> The PCU delivers a bus power capability of 1500 watt at a weight of 8.3 kilo.<ref>Stage, Mie.

====Star trackers====
Since 1999, Terma has manufactured Star Trackers for several scientific satellite missions including [[Cryosat]] 1, [[CryoSat-2|Cryosat-2]], [[ADM-Aeolus]], [[LISA Pathfinder]], and Tacsat 1, 2 and 4.<ref>[http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1477&context=smallsatz]{{dead link|date=December 2017|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | doi=10.1016/j.ast.2011.12.002 | volume=24 | title=Attitude and orbit control systems for the LISA Pathfinder mission | journal=Aerospace Science and Technology | pages=283–294| year=2013 | last1=Giulicchi | first1=Luisella | last2=Wu | first2=Shu-Fan | last3=Fenal | first3=Thomas }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/c-missions/cryosat |title=CryoSat - eoPortal Directory - Satellite Missions |website=directory.eoportal.org |accessdate=1 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/a/adm-aeolus|title=Aeolus - eoPortal Directory - Satellite Missions |website=directory.eoportal.org |accessdate=1 August 2018}}</ref>

==== Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) ====
Terma is prime contractor for the [[Atmosphere-Space Interaction Monitor|ASIM]] observatory.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://videnskab.dk/teknologi-innovation/asim-danmarks-stoerste-rumprojekt-klar-til-opsendelse |title=ASIM: Danmarks største rumprojekt klar til opsendelse |website=videnskab.dk |date=23 March 2018 |language=da |access-date=4 April 2018}}</ref> Terma is responsible for ensuring technical management of the project and for the coordination with [[European Space Agency|ESA]] and subcontractors, and not least for delivering the ASIM observatory for handover to ESA, [[NASA]], and [[SpaceX]] at [[Kennedy Space Center]] (KSC). ASIM was launched for the [[International Space Station]] (ISS) on 2 April 2018,<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/udland/jubel-over-rumprojekt-saetter-danmark-paa-verdenskortet |title=Jubel over rumprojekt: Sætter Danmark på verdenskortet |work=DR |access-date=4 April 2018 |language=da}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://nyheder.tv2.dk/samfund/2018-04-02-historisk-dansk-rumprojekt-sendt-op-i-rummet |title=Historisk dansk rumprojekt sendt op i rummet |date=2 April 2018 |work=nyheder.tv2.dk |access-date=4 April 2018 |language=da-DK}}</ref> and will be installed on the European Columbus-module of ISS in the beginning of 2018. ASIM will be used by scientists in order to study high-altitude electrical discharges, the so-called red sprites, blue jets, haloes, and elves, and monitor X-ray and Gamma-ray flashes.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.space.dtu.dk/english/research/projects/project-descriptions/asim/background-on-asim |title=ASIM background information, facts and partners - DTU Space |work=space.dtu.dk |access-date=4 April 2018 |language=en}}</ref>
