Welcome to the Future of the Space Industry

Weight reduction plays a major role in the aerospace industry. We meet this requirement with bionic component optimization - it gives our ceramic components greater rigidity, functionality, dynamics and safety at a low weight. And it also saves on material costs. Thanks to their outstanding material properties, our reaction-bonded silicon carbide ceramics are mainly used in measuring systems, in the construction of satellites and optical systems such as mirrors.

Challenges in the Space Industry

The space industry is facing a number of challenges, including the need to make the development and launch of satellites faster and more cost-efficient. The main requirements include:

  • Weight reduction: A critical aspect in space travel, as lower weight leads directly to lower launch costs.
  • Increasing reliability: High reliability of satellite systems is crucial to ensure the success of missions.
  • Innovative materials: All materials used must be able to withstand the extreme conditions of space.
