To date more than 43 astronauts have relied on Kayser-Threde.
There are few areas where people are as reliant on technology as in manned space flight. Absolute reliability of all the systems also under extreme operating conditions is a prerequisite for the success of these missions. For more than 30 years, both space agencies and astronauts have been relying on technology provided by Kayser-Threde. Highly qualified engineers design, test and produce life-supporting systems like oxygen supply systems and air-conditioning as well as various other facilities for scientific work.
Kayser-Threde has managed two complete German MIR missions and also made substantial contributions to several other joint space projects with Russia. With more than 50 systems for manned space stations and more than 20 satellite subsystems, even a partial list of the many world-wide space projects Kayser-Threde is involved in would be beyond the scope here.
Nothing is more exciting than the unknown.
Space research is driven by the quest for knowledge. When it comes to the implementation of ideas, Kayser-Threde is ready to contribute its experience and know-how, its technical potential and enthusiasm to perform studies of new technologies, feasibility analyses, technological experiments in space, and many more.
International space station ISS: a major challenge in space.
The ISS, a permanent international research station in orbit around the earth, represents the most ambitious project in the history of space flight. As specialist in the field of aerospace engineering, Kayser-Threde has been commissioned to develop numerous systems including electronic, software and mechanical components for the station's infrastructure, e.g. for parts of the life-support system, as well as for various research systems inside and outside the station.
