Whether satellites, spacecraft or space debris – GESTRA, the "German Experimental Surveillance and Tracking Radar", is a state-of-the-art radar system for observing and tracking objects in space. It operates in the microwave range and explores the Low Earth Orbit of 300 to 3,000 kilometres, i.e. the range in which most satellites and the International Space Station (ISS) are located. This makes it possible, for example, to protect space systems or the ISS from a collision with debris particles by providing a timely warning. Millions of tiny particles orbit the earth and, at a speed of around 28,000 km/h, pose a threat to active space technologies. GESTRA was developed and built by the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR on behalf of the German Space Agency at DLR.

Hermetic connectors are essential to maintain system integrity in applications where the reliability and performance of electrical connections is critical, such as gas-tight barriers or high-pressures differentials.

Portable thermal target with day/night combined shooting training. Application of advanced thermal sensing technology to realistically reproduce various combat situations to improve the user's shooting ability. Heat generation performance can be achieved through multiple fires, increasing shooting training efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Breech-Lok solutions comprise one of the industry's largest installed bases of MIL-DTL-38999 Series IV connectors. This track record of uncompromised reliability has been proven in harsh-environment applications ranging from weapons systems to spacecraft. Breech-Lok products can be quickly customized to meet a broad array of mission-specific requirements:

A distributed sensor system based on BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analyzer), capable of detecting structural deformation and external intrusion.

Weibel’s Doppler velocity radars are designed for precise velocity measurements of free-flying objects such as projectiles, artillery rounds, and rockets. The radars are capable of operating under confined indoor as well as long range environments and providing velocity and other ballistic data. The network-ready SL family of fixed head Doppler radar systems is easily portable and based on state of the art radar technologies. All electronic components are integrated in the antenna/processor unit. The radars connect directly to your TCP/IP network and can be accessed and controlled from any standard PC on the network, running WinDopp software.

- Compact size with built-in drive, position sensor, DC motor and gear box - Better durability & faster speed under similar rated load comparing to 12Lf series thanks to the bigger 17mm diameter DC motor - Position, current and speed control along with position & current feedback - Easy digital extended I/O control through 4 x Expansion I/O ports (No coding) - 27/37/50/87mm(*) stroke option (*): Each 3mm stroke can be added when adjusting the long stroke limit through Total Manager software. Rated load of 17N~70N depending on the lead angle for each stroke (Speed is inversely proportional to the rated load, so the higher the rated load, the slower the speed.) - RS-485 MODBUS-RTU protocol applied (IR open protocol is not provided) - Action feature which enables user’s motion save & run

MPS Microsystems offers a complete range of high precision ball screws for positioning less than 5 µm. Mostly custom-made, these screws ensure smooth and uniform movement resulting from the high precision of their thread, achieved by grinding. Our ball screws are made exclusively of stainless steel and are fitted with double nuts to allow fine adjustment of the axial play. Moreover, an optional ogival thread can provide a higher static and dynamic load capacity. Thanks to a large number of options, we can ensure that the ball screw meets your technical and quality needs. The following parameters can be personalized: lubricant (grease, oil, dry lubrication, no lubrication), customized screw ends, shape and external dimensions of the nut and screw, multiple nuts on the same screw, left-hand thread, thread length, specific axial play, special surface treatment, and more.
