A full success: the “Space Day” at HPS

A full success: the “Space Day” at HPS

On March 28, 2025, HPS in Munich opened its doors to space enthusiasts and those who might want to become one – and it was a great success! We welcomed numerous guests who took part in our guided tours, presentations, Q&A sessions and workshops with great interest. We were particularly pleased about the visit of Ministerial Director Dr. Markus Wittmann and MRin Anne Köster from the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, who came to get a personal impression of our work in Bavaria (Munich and Münchberg in Upper Franconia).

The entire day was characterized by innovation, thirst for knowledge and enthusiasm for space travel. Our guests were given exclusive insights into our products, expertise, processes, test laboratories and clean rooms. Our experts gave exciting introductions to the world of e.g. satellite communication, earth observation and manned space flight and their space technologies. Our CEO, Dr.-Ing. Ernst K. Pfeiffer, gave a presentation on “Why space travel?” in the early afternoon and in the evening, also providing insights into the latest news in global space travel.
The crowds were large and the curiosity of our visitors was overwhelming – every guided tour and every lecture was followed with great interest.

The consistently positive feedback was particularly pleasing: many participants praised the opportunity to experience space travel up close and learn more about HPS technologies. This great response reinforces our goal of sharing not only our fascination for space but also its necessity for Germany and Europe.

With this success, we are very optimistic about the future and hope that after a few years there will be another nationwide “Space Day” to spread the enthusiasm for space travel together with you!

Many thanks to everyone who took part and made this day possible! See you soon!
