The industrial team is completed by the subcontractors of OHB-I: Antares (mirrors), SITAEL (electronic unit), TEMIS (EGSE), and by the subcontractors of TAS-I: ALTEC (test facility), AIEM (illumination system). The industrial program managers for the phase C-D are Danilo Morea (OHB-I) and Stefano Cesare (TAS-I).

The industrial team supports the Phase E of the mission in the flight software and reference model debugging (OHB-I and TAS-I), the development and in the instrument thermal analysis (TAS-I), and the data ground support (ALTEC).

The industrial program managers for the phase E are Francesco Zanetti (OHB-I) and Stefano Cesare (TAS-I).
