Kayser-Threde

Kayser-Threde GmbH based in Munich, Germany is a systems house specializing in applications in manned and unmanned space missions, optics, telematics, crash test data acquisition, and process control for the rail sector. On September 1, 2014, Bremen-based OHB System AG and Munich-based Kayser-Threde GmbH merged under the name OHB System AG. In this way, the capabilities and capacities of our two outstanding space companies were centralized[1]

Space

Kayser-Threde has delivered over 100 scientific instruments, systems and sub-systems for manned space stations, satellites and interplanetary missions. Optical systems and subsystems for eight space telescopes and space cameras for astronomical and earth observation have been implemented.[2]

Industrial applications
  • Automotive
  • Process Control Systems

The automotive and process control applications have their origins in Kayser-Threde’s astronautics activities. Thus, they are examples for transfer of technology spin-off.
