Hanau / Frankfurt – Advanced materials produced by VAC are out in space.
A group of students at the university Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana (SUPSI) asked the Hanau-based company for assistance in the construction of a small cubiform satellite called TIsat-1. The satellite has a mass of one kilogram and an edge length of ten centimetres. The Swiss students are taking part in an international university program called CubeSat. VAC supplied rods of PERMENORM® 5000 H2 in various diameters, used for magnetic oscillation control, and permanent magnets made of VACODYM®, which enable the earth's magnetic field to be used as orientation for the satellite. This assistance gained VAC the status of official sponsor of the project.
TIsat-1 saw lift-off on 12 July last year at Sriharikota Space Center in India, when the satellite was launched into space from the PSLV-C15 rocket. It has transmitted signals back to the earth ever since.
