nengineering specializes in the development of on-board mechanisms for spacecraft for commercial and for science missions in Europe and the US.

Based on technical requirements we develop creative design ideas, detail them to thorough concept designs and select the most promising concept, which then is refined by numerical simulation and optimisation of its dynamic, thermal and functional behaviour to achieve outstanding performance. Comprehensive documentation is produced for description and production of the mechanism. Our production partners produce the parts which we then assemble, entirely test and deliver to the customer. All our work is performed to space engineering standards.
