Today we focus at a process that is often overlooked: (ultrasonic) cleaning of PCB’s after manufacturing. It seems tedious but if not done right, not diligent enough then the conformal coating in the next step won’t stick. This manual process as shown in the picture…
Unlike the #spaceindustry of old, #newspace is about constant innovation. We like to improve every day ideally in a direction that both increases quality and reduces the time and cost of getting the job done. This also means that our production team in our #satellite…
Today we will have another look onto the Power Interface Tester (PIT). This version of the PIT in enclosed in a housing but otherwise functionally identical to those shown last week. Interestingly the PIT does not only allow testing of entire subsystems but also has…
Before the #henryfordmoment satellites were produced in very small numbers indeed. Each individually a celebrated occasion. At Berlin Space Technologies GmbH we are working towards the point where speedy delivery in large numbers is the new normal. #newspace #germantechnology #berlinstartup
It’s #factiryfriday, so we are taking another peak into reaction wheel manufacturing at Azista BST Aerospace. You might be thinking this looks like our headquarters in #germany but it is indeed in our factory in #india. The similarity is the whole point 🙂 In this…
Production numbers tend to be very small in the #spaceindustry therefore we are very happy that our star trackers (ST200 & ST400) that we have developed together with our partners from Hyperion Technologies B.V. have achieved 160 delivered units. Making this the new normal and…
How do you upgrade systems that have been delivered to customer or are already in space? At BST we have a EM and FM level flatsat of all our components so that we can test necessary (software) upgrades safely on flight representative hardware before rolling…
Do you know the nature of the most complicated equipment that Berlin Space Technologies GmbH builds? It’s not the space hardware itself but our #testing equipment. #testingtuesday #qualityassurance #newspace #berlinstartups
In our LEOS-50 #satellite platform there are regularly two star trackers. For this purpose we are using both the ST200 and the ST400 that Berlin Space Technologies GmbH has developed in collaboration with our partners from Hyperion Technologies B.V. Bonus question: the ST200 is normally…
It is #factoryfriday! Our #factory (Azista BST Aerospace) in #ahmedabad, #india has started the production of tens of #satellite reaction wheels as an order by one of our customers. The wheels are currently being produced matching the required cadence (in sub-batches of four). On the…
