Since 2005 HPS has continuously developed CFC-based technologies in the context of national and ESA-programs in order to replace unnecessarily heavy and expensive aluminum housings for electronic equipment by electronic housings made of carbon fibre composites.
In Germany as well as in Portugal HPS develops mechanical and thermal elements not only for the company`s own subsystems and integrals, but also for clients, for example in the area of RF-interfaces or instruments.
HPS develops, manufactures and integrates – also at its two sites in Germany and Portugal – high performance elements for launcher and reentry technologies like ablators for entering the earths or other planets´ atmospheres, high temperature insulations for reusable spacecrafts; HPS also develops sensors and delivers thermal protection elements ready for integration into launchers.
On the basis of a wide range of national and international development projects HPS has collected specific knowledge about the behavior and features of materials as well as recipipies for certain applications – knowledge that today is the backbone of a truly unique data base.
