Precision-mechanical challenges within space-instrumentation

  • Ir. Paul Hieltjes
  • SRON: Netherlands Institute for Space research

The Netherlands is strong in instrumentation for space. Knowledge institutes and industry work together to mee the stringent space requirements. Some scientific space instrumentations are approaching the physical boundaries in sensitivity. This creates many challenges in accuracy, thermal design and robustness. This talk will present some of the running Dutch initiatives and look forward to coming missions and Dutch (Scientific) priorities.
