In October 2019, GomSpace and the European Space Agency (ESA) have signed a contract to adapt and improve smallsat systems and subsystems for science missions in deep space at a contract value of SEK 43 million. After a prolonged suspension of the project, GomSpace and ESA have agreed not to proceed to the third phase of the contract. This has resulted in a reduction of SEK 22 million in the GomSpace backlog.
