aerospace.

Aerospace instruments must be able to withstand extreme conditions, such as the impact of a satellite launch or large temperature differences. At the same time, they must meet extremely high (precision) requirements. For example, optical systems must be able to compensate for atmospheric disturbances caused by temperature variations and turbulence. In sensitive measuring instruments, thermal noise determines the quality of the measurement.

We develop innovative solutions for these challenges and translate these solutions into optomechatronics systems and thermal control. This way we contribute to sharp, high-contrast images and reliable, broadband communications.

sharp images, reliable communications.

The fascination for astronomical research has inspired the construction of sensitive optical instruments able to function under extreme conditions. There are also practical applications in the aerospace sector, such as earth observation (for e.g. climate change) and laser satellite communications for global reach. We develop advanced systems and cooling technology for this purpose, by applying our optomechatronics and thermal expertise.

North Brabant province invests 4 million euros in further development of molten salt reactor

The province of North Brabant is investing nearly 4 million euros in the further development of a new generation of nuclear reactors. A consortium of the companies Thorizon, VDL Groep and DEMCON will work in Brabant in the coming years to develop and test crucial components for a molten salt reactor. This investment should lead to new market opportunities for Brabant's high-quality manufacturing industry.
