Science and technology in outer space is a challenge:

Extreme performance requirements, severe power and mass constraints, long mission durations combined with a harsh environment, that is what makes things different from most terrestrial applications.

The von Hoerner & Sulger company meets the challenges of outer space.

For us, space technology is our daily business since 1971. We have built more than 15 flight-qualified scientific space experiments and more than 30 sounding rocket experiments. Examples are  the COSIMA spectrometer on ESA's ROSETTA mission, two CIDA instruments for the NASA missions STARDUST and CONTOUR, the Rover ExoMars for ESA's mission to Mars and the micro-rover NANOKHOD for ESA's technology and research program.

The key of success is technical competence and close cooperation with our international scientific partners.
