Ever tried what happens if you illuminate your star tracker baffle with a daylight lamp? A well defined star tracker baffle like those for ST200 and ST400 will still stay dark in the innermost chamber even under the brightest light. To achieve this we are…
Berlin Space Technologies GmbH is a specialist for #ADCS equipment. Here you see some of our reaction wheels under assembly. Being vertically integrated and having all technologies and components in house is an important differentiator in the upcoming #henryfordmoment. #newspace, #berlinstartups
DId you know that our actual first hardware in space went to the #ISS (#internationalspacestation)? Yes, that is true! Back in 2012 just two years after founding the company we won a contract to deliver star tracker and gyro hardware to the ISS. We implemented this project…
All #satellites of Berlin Space Technologies GmbH are fully qualified for launch into space. In addition to an structure thermal model (STM), the FM or PFM of the satellites undergoes full mechanical qualification in accordance with the requirements of the launcher. #germantechnology, #berlinstartups, #newspace
Optical surfaces are very sensitive. Therefore assembly of anything optical is recommended to do in the cleanroom to prevent contamination. #newspace, #germantechnology, #berlinstartups
#qualitymanagement is an important task of the work at Berlin Space Technologies GmbH. All our FM hardware undergoes full acceptance test. Today we will show you a recent test campaign for our RWA-05 reaction wheels. Tests in the thermal vacuum chamber take a lot of time. You…
Sometimes one looks to add a tiny camera to a tiny satellite. Then the IMS-100 from Berlin Space Technologies GmbH is the right choice. At only 30x40x40mm in size and 52g it fits into the smallest of places. It’s TLR9 since 2019 on the #ESA #OPSSAT mission. The IMS-100 has…
Mechanical qualification is an important part of #qualityassurance for #satellites. The picture shows how Berlin Space Technologies GmbH recently conducted an acceptance test of a reaction wheel. Unfortunately, the nature of the test usually prevents to test multiple devices at the same time. That said, compared to a TVAC test…
Our factory on one page. From contract signature to production. #makeinindia #germantechnology #newspace #smallsatellites
Outbakeing in TVAC chamber, cleaning and conformal coating. A myriad of steps is required to successfully build a subsystem FM.
