CEATSA (Spanish: Centro de Ensayos de Alta Tecnología Sociedad Anónima), is an Argentina high technology testing company providing environmental testing services to the satellite, aeronautics, electronics, automotive, defense, and energy industries. It is jointly owned by the Argentine government owned telecommunications company ARSAT (80%) and public company INVAP (20%).[1][3]

History

It was created in September 2010, started its operations in December 2012 and the environmental testing facilities were officially inaugurated in September 2013, when ARSAT-1 did its whole testing cycle.[4] Its creation enabled the country to cover the whole life cycle of satellite design and operation.[3]

The creation of CEATSA enabled Argentina to cover the whole cycle of satellite design and manufacturing. Previously, national satellites like SAC-D had to be tested on the Brazilian INPE. This was expensive since the move of personnel and ground support equipment associated with a single satellite was significant. Since the Brazilian testing facilities were too small for the size of the ARSAT satellites, it simply made economic sense to actually build the facilities.[5]

The actual investment on the company was of approximately 40 Million US dollars.[3]
