On a mission, satellites have to function for many years under harsh conditions. They are equipped with components like antennas oder mirrors which have to be positioned with millimeter accuracy and thus need flexible mechanisms. The company beyond gravity in Coswig is an expert for such components. So far, they had to be constructed out of different pieces which increased the risk of breaking or wearing out. However, in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Mittweida which has developed a unique method of micro selective laser melting, it was now possible to manufacture a monolithic mechanism which is highly promising for aerospace missions in the future.
Saxony⁵ is a joint project between five Saxon universities: University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz, Dresden, Leipzig, Zwickau and Mittweida. This project aims to apply new innovative solutions to the challenges of the regional economy and society.
