TUPEX-5 Parabolic flight
In the course of the joint parabolic flight campaign of the French space agency CNES, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency ESA, the ASTROFEIN PicoSatellite Launcher was used. Within the framework of the TUPEX-5 experiment of the ILR of the TU Berlin, the launching of four 330 gram light picosatellites was successfully verified.
Small Satellite TET-1
Development, production and verification of the satellite bus on behalf of the Space Agency of the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
BEESAT-1
The ASTROFEIN Reaction Wheel RW1 was first launched in 2009 on board the CubeSat BEESAT-1.
Rosetta Mission – Lander Philae
In cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), ASTROFEIN developed and built the structure of the MUPUS -Thermal Mapper – a small device mounted on one of the carbon fibre structural tubes of the Philae lander.
Mars Express
ASTROFEIN was involved in the development of the PFS Planetary Fourier IR Spectrometer, a measuring instrument for infrared spectroscopy.
BIRD Satellit
Participation in the development and construction of the BIRD (Bispectral Infra-Red Detection) satellite for the early detection of fire sources.
