Services


Based on the European Cooperation on Space Standardization ECSS HPS also offers capacities to external customers. Highly qualified personnel from Portugal and/or Germany supports customers either directly at their sites or in the frame of individually defined working packages, like:

Project management:

Compensating for staff shortage and/or missing experiences in specific fields of space business/processes of companies and/or institutions (reference examples: payloaddummies on Ariane 5, development of material hybrids for space applications).

Development and Engineering:

  • General engineering from study-level to flight hardware (mechanical, thermal, antenna technologies)
  • Special space engineering tasks (reference examples: cover structure mechanical design phase C/D for EnMap, design and analysis of satellite parts for phase B for Heinrich Hertz, structural analysis for instruments for ISS)
  • Engineering for terrestial applications (reference examples: components for ESOtelescope, HAI-research facility in France)

Material characterization:

In the field of material characterization for space applications HPS offers management and coordination capacities including analysis of testing results.

MAIT-tasks:

  • coordination and realization of manufacturing tasks integration service regarding structures (reference example: HPS Portugal integration support for EUCLID-sunshield)
  • integration services regarding MLI with Portugese and/or German personnel, depending on integration location, flexible, day and night

In addition HPS offers trainings and technology transfer in the area of reflector antennas and CFRP.
