Smart materials approach for resilient technology in space

Pioneering Technology

Establishing a new era
of smart materials in space.

Scientific Innovations

Space technology with integrated
smart materials functionality.

Future-proof Products

Tailor-made systems to meet any
space application scenario.
Why we started Smart in Space

It’s time to merge materials science and space technology.

Experience from conventional industries is a good point of origin. But space exploration requires groundbreaking new approaches already on Earth. That’s why as an innovation network, we’re taking the entire space industry to the next level.

Our ambition

Smart in Space is revolutionizing production processes in the space industry through the use of smart materials and pioneering manufacturing.

Smart materials allow complex functionality to be integrated directly into the structure of components.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) open up completely new approaches for Hold Down Release Mechanisms.

Additive Manufacturing enables the realization of components with highly complex geometries.

Injection molding enables the space industry’s transition from manufacturing to volume production.

Our strategy

We are challenging the status quo.
Day by day.


To keep pace with the world’s best, we need, to produce fast.
To use resources responsibly, our products needs to be lightweight.
To be globally competitive, we need to produce inexpensive.
To remain sovereign, we need our applications to be resilient.
