GTM and Axient Systems advance collaboration on PAMI-1 Payload Structure

May 19, 2026

GTM Advanced Structures is expanding its role in the PAMI-1 mission, the flagship defense satellite initiative for the Netherlands’ Armed Forces.

Beyond supplying the mission’s solar arrays, GTM will now also contribute structural analysis and qualification testing expertise for the satellite’s payload structure, in close collaboration with Axient Systems B.V.

This added scope builds on GTM’s experience in advanced aerospace structures, environmental testing, and SmallSat engineering, helping ensure the satellite’s mechanical integrity and readiness for launch and operations in orbit.

PAMI-1 is a significant step forward for sovereign Dutch space and defense capability, and it’s great to see this collaboration deepen as the mission moves ahead.
