Azimut Space

Azimut Space GmbH is a space engineering company located at the Technology Park Berlin Adlershof, Germany's largest technology park and one of Europe's leading science and technology hubs. Founded in 2007, the company began as a thermal engineering specialist and has since expanded into payloads, scientific instruments, and testing infrastructure for the space industry.

The company's core expertise is thermo-mechanical engineering: they design, analyse, and manufacture custom thermal control hardware including flexible thermal straps and links, complete thermal management systems, and specialised space-grade Ground Support Equipment. Their thermal solutions have flown on high-profile missions including NASA/JPL's InSight Mars lander (as prime industrial partner of DLR for the HP³ heat probe instrument) and the MASCOT asteroid lander aboard JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission.

Beyond thermal hardware, Azimut Space develops scientific instruments and payloads, and provides in-house thermal testing infrastructure including a Thermal Vacuum Chamber, Thermal Cycling Chamber, and Thermal Characterization Unit for customer qualification campaigns. The company has also contributed to ESA research programmes including MELT (3D printing for ISS), LTE (low-temperature electronics), and AerSUS (space aerogels), as well as concept projects for lunar ISRU energy systems through the HEBAM initiative.

With 11–50 employees and a track record spanning Europe's most demanding space missions, Azimut Space combines the agility of a specialist SME with the heritage and technical depth typically associated with much larger primes.
