Colibris Translation Stage

Spacecraft Mass: 20

Orbital Altitude: ground

Launch Date: 2025

Material combination ensures an ultra-light structure with high stiffness and dimensional stability.

COLIBRIS is composed of a curved beam, trolley, end plates, and harness made from CFRP and metal parts. The combination insures an ultra-light structure with high stiffness and dimensional stability. Key features: Enhanced measurement accuracy: the ability to move VG cameras allows for in-situ calibration, improving measurement precision. Improved temperature mapping: the mobility of the IR camera facilitates temperature mapping from various positions and angles.

The expertise we provide at Space Structures GmbH:

  • co-engineering of parts
  • strength and modal analysis
  • CAD modeling
  • manufacturing
  • proof-load testing

COLIBRIS iscomposed of a curved beam, trolley, end plates, and end harness made from CFRP and metal parts, and weights below 20 kg.
