Participation in the FORnanoSatellites Research Project – Future Technology for Small Satellites

We are a partner in the FORnanoSatellites research project, coordinated by Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and funded by the Bavarian Research Foundation with approximately 1.8 million euros. The aim of the project is to develop innovative technological components for small satellites and to establish an automated small-batch production in Bavaria.

Our role in the project focuses on interconnection technology: we support the research partners in developing system-in-package solutions using additive metallization to efficiently integrate electronic and mechanical components in highly compact spaces. This enables us to contribute significantly to improving the compactness and performance of small satellites. The close collaboration with universities, research institutions such as the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and other industry partners offers us the opportunity to further develop our technology in a practical context and tailor it to new applications.

FORnanoSatellites not only strengthens technological independence in the aerospace sector but also boosts the innovative capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises in Bavaria – we are proud to be part of this forward-looking initiative.
