VECTRONIC Aerospace GmbH

VECTRONIC Aerospace GmbH is a German company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Berlin, specializing in attitude determination and control systems (ADCS), power control electronics, data handling, and RF subsystems for small satellite missions. The company has accumulated more than 25 years of space flight heritage across numerous commercial and scientific satellite constellations.

VECTRONIC's space product portfolio includes reaction wheels with angular momentum from 0.2 Nms to 8 Nms with configurable torque options, high-accuracy star trackers achieving first-lock acquisition in under one second, power control units, and on-board computer solutions. All products are developed for full series production, enabling the company to offer competitive pricing and short lead times even for constellation programs.

The company operates a dual market strategy: alongside its space applications division, VECTRONIC is a world leader in precision GPS wildlife tracking collars used by ecologists and conservation scientists across 76 countries. This dual focus enables the company to sustain a team of approximately 70 engineers and scientists working across both domains.

VECTRONIC maintains production facilities in Berlin and a subsidiary, VECTRONIC Aerospace Inc., in Coralville, Iowa, USA, serving North American space programs and customers.
