The extreme conditions during rocket launches and in space place the highest demands on space equipment. We ensure these systems perform reliably in the harsh environment of space by testing components and systems under simulated space conditions.

With over 50 years of experience and the versatility of our facilities, we are a trusted partner for even the most demanding space projects. Our work is distinguished by technical and organizational reliability, precision, and technological expertise. Our space center offers state-of-the-art testing facilities and the essential infrastructure for highly specialized analyses.

Leveraging our engineering and space expertise, we support our clients from the space and new-space sectors throughout the entire lifecycle of their programs—from concept and development to qualification, production, acceptance, integration, testing and verification.

For many years, we have also been operating the test facilities at the European Space Agency’s (ESA) ESTEC research center in partnership with a European collaborator.

With our new Competence Centre for Electro-Optical Systems, the Competence Centre Optics (CCO), we offer a state-of-the-art testing facility that is unique in Europe. This facility is crucial for developing increasingly precise Earth observation and reconnaissance systems, ensuring that the view from space becomes even sharper in the future.
