Space GEO

From the extreme demands of GEO space missions to the precision requirements of deep-space exploration, Netzer translates complex Statements of Work (SOWs) into mission-ready solutions. With a legacy of successful space projects and encoders operating in orbit as we speak, our expertise ensures seamless adaptation to the toughest challenges.

Netzer’s deep engineering capabilities enable the transformation of unique mission requirements into highly reliable, radiation-resistant, and space-optimized solutions. Our encoders are designed with a contactless architecture, broad installation tolerance, and ultra-precise motion control—meeting the strictest Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) constraints.

Built on decades of experience, Netzer stands at the forefront of space innovation, delivering solutions that minimize outgassing, withstand extreme environments, and ensure long-term reliability in the vacuum of space. Whether for satellite positioning, antenna tracking, or reaction wheels, we take concepts from specification to orbit—because in space, precision isn’t optional, it’s mission-critical.
