With the foundation of HPTEX GmbH in equal shares by the Bavarian companies HPS GmbH and Iprotex GmbH & Co KG, a company is being launched that no one else in the space industry has ever had on the cards before: HPS, the European specialist for satellite antennas of all sizes, and Iprotex, the heavyweight for technical textiles on the world market, are joining forces and competences to establish Bavaria and Germany as the centre for metallic high-tech fabrics, the “mesh”, in ordere to serve the international space market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nHPTEX GmbH joint venture thus aims at a key component of satellite technology\nfor two core applications at the same time: Earth observation and\ncommunication. For both, the mesh functions as a resonance body for reception\nand transmission of radar and communication data between heaven and earth, for\ngenerating images for climate protection and to provide stable communications\nnetworks for the earth’s population.  The precision of production is\nmeasured in micrometers, i.e. ten thousandths of a centimeter, and must achieve\nan optimum between electrical conductivity and mechanical elasticity\nhomogeneously over reflectors of up to 15m diameter, for frequency bands\nbetween L- and Ka-band, and in the medium term also up to V-band.  To\nguarantee this, the two companies behind HPTEX have concentrated development\nand production technology of the latest generation at the M\u00fcnchberg site in\norder to meet the extremely special requirements of the customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial\nmission objectives are the pre-development and pre-qualification of a Ka-band\nmesh for “CIMR”, a satellite of the EU Commission’s latest flagship\nfleet Copernicus for the observation and measurement of climatically relevant\ndevelopments in the Arctic, and a series of small satellite antennas from the\ncommercial NewSpace sector. In the area of research and development, HPTEX\nworks closely with the leading institutions in the region, the Fraunhofer\nM\u00fcnchberg and the University of Hof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a transitional period of a few weeks, direct sales of the products will continue to be handled by HPS in Munich until the new staffing levels have been established to allow HPTEX to take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
