HPS High Performance Space Structure Systems GmbH’s Post

🚀 NEWS NEWS NEWS 🚀 HPS secures a New Million-Euro Project: Advancing Innovation & Progress in the European Space Sector We are pleased to announce that HPS has achieved another significant milestone. On August 7, 2024, HPS signed a contract worth 1 million euros under the European Space Agency - ESA's new GSTP sub-program "Product Initiative." 🤝 This groundbreaking project, to be realized in collaboration with our esteemed partners Aerospace & Advanced Composites GmbH and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. 📅 Next Steps: Over the next 24 months, HPS will be developing highly innovative films, provisionally named "ProFilm," which will be both ATOX-resistant and capable of being non-reflective or invisible. These advanced materials will open up new possibilities for applications such as thermal insulation for satellites and invisible drag sails, which represent an evolution of our #ADEO product line for the controlled deorbiting of decommissioned satellites. Strategic Goals Supported by this Project: 🚀 Achieving technological independence 💼 Enhancing the competitiveness of European spacecraft manufacturers 🌌 Mitigating light pollution in astronomy through non-reflective surfaces 🛰️ Paving the way towards making entire satellites invisible Ernst K. Pfeiffer, CEO of HPS, emphasized: "The innovation processes now underway will lead to highly exciting products. Our collaboration with partners, from DLR in the north to AAC GmbH in the south, is a strong foundation for success. Most importantly, this project demonstrates how quickly and effectively the European Space Agency can identify, embrace, and overcome technical challenges. This is precisely what European space exploration needs, and it is exactly what innovation leaders, particularly from SMEs, require to thrive." #Innovation #SpaceTechnology #HPS #ESA #EuropeanSpaceAgency
