General information

Company profile	The von Hoerner & Sulger GmbH is a german SME with 29 employees, since 1971 providing international customers with highly reliable instrumentation and payloads for space and rocket-borne research and Earth observation. Key competences are creative finding of optimum expert solutions starting from customer requirements, physical/technical feasibility studies, architectural and detailed design of complex analog and mixed-signal space electronics systems including space FPGA and software, hi-rel flight parts procurement, space mechanics design, in-house manufacturing, integration, and verification of space systems in own cleanroom after space standards, all accompanying physical/technical analyses, tests and reviews, with efficient project management. Flight instruments by vH&S are part of NASA, DLR, ESA, and JAXA missions.
Products & Services	Space electronics systems and payloads with focus on highest performance and reliability, instrument units designed, built, manufactured and qualified to customer requirements. Examples: High resolution high-speed SWIR array imager electronics with lowest noise and distortion (EnMAP/DLR); cometary and interstellar dust spectrometer systems (Stardust/NASA, Rosetta/ESA, Destiny+/JAXA); ion thruster measurement system (H2Sat); systems for plasma science (ISS); power laser and electro-optics control and drive electronics for remote atmosphere sensing (MERLIN); hi-rel space parts procurement, integration, and PA/QA support (Nancy Grace Roman/JPL), rocket-borne pressure gauge systems for middle atmosphere research.
References and export activities	International research institutes and universities, large scale integrators: ESA, DLR, NASA, JPL, JAXA, Airbus, OHB, Thales, Max-Planck-Institutes.
Target group	Project parters and cooperation partners from space institutions and universities (JPL, NASA, JHU-APL). Large-scale integrator companies (Boeing, Space-X) looking for custom space electronics developments. Requirements for custom solutions and systems not available from stock, and special instrumentation beyond standard developments.
Competitive advantages	We constantly thrive for early and deep understanding of our customers’ needs, and we profit from extensive flight heritage in precision space systems with highest performance, flawlessly operating over entire (extended) missions in space, for best output and scientific results. Our focus is on non-standard systems and complex custom developments not covered by most companies. Finding solutions for extreme requirements.
Ideal Business Partners	We are looking for suppliers (large scale, mid scale), space system manufacturers (companies, institutions, universities, JPL, NASA). We prefer the direct communication with integrators and manufacturers on technical (expert) level.
