Research and development
-
Electrical drives (Hall ions, grid ions, MPD, FEEP, etc.)
-
Ion and electron sources for space and terrestrial applications
-
Neutralizers for electric drives, e.g. heaterless C12A7 cathode or CNT cathodes.
-
Development of ultra-precise shear measurement scales (resolution down to the nano-Newton range).
-
Testing of aerospace components in our large vacuum facilities (up to 4.5 m³, thermal cycling possible, variation of pressure, etc.) as well as high-precision thrust measurement
-
Expert opinion
-
Supply of finished systems (e.g. drives, ion/electron sources, measuring scales) or customer-specific design!
Expertise
