About us
ASTROFEIN – Precision in Space. ASTROFEIN, a SME based in Berlin Germany, develops, produces and tests components and systems for space. We focus on small satellites, attitude control, structures, mechanisms and payloads. The comprehensive knowledge, expertise and experience of the employees ensure the highest quality.
ASTROFEIN is one of the world's leading manufacturers of reaction wheels. The ASTROFEIN RW Family can be categorized in 4 groups: CubeSatLine, SmallSat Line, Torque Line for SmallSats and a HighLine.
Our Reaction Wheel Family comprises at the current point in time 14 different wheels addressing different performance requirements and and thus satellite sizes and different orbits.
ASTROFEIN produces the Ferrari among the Deployer (to quote one of our customers) - our ASTROFEIN PicoSatellite Launcher (PSL). Our PSL family consists of the PSL1U, PSL2U, PSL3U, PSL6U, PSL6U XL, PSL12U, PSL12U XL and the PSL16U.
ASTROFEIN follows highest quality standards: Our processes are certified according to DIN EN 9100:2018.
