Embark on your next LEO project with the unparalleled Netzer VLS product line – the only space-proven COTS solutions engineered for excellence, with affordable prices.
Our VLS series is designed to elevate your project, featuring compact dimensions, minimal weight, and the signature Netzer hollow shaft for unmatched precision. These characteristics are not just benefits; they’re essentials for the demands of space exploration. With a legacy of transforming commercially available components and conventional encoders for the cosmos Netzer has accumulated a unique expertise through numerous successful missions. Our commitment to innovation means the VLS range meets the rigorous demands of TID (Total Ionizing Dose) and minimal outgassing – key factors for thriving in the harsh environment of space.
Netzer’s VLS family is already deployed across advanced photonics and space-communication programmes, including Acquisition, Pointing & Tracking (APT), Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs), Free-Space Optical (FSO) links, Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC), and Inter-Satellite Links (ISLs). These applications rely on VLS encoders for precise, stable feedback that supports accurate pointing, rapid acquisition, and dependable long-term tracking performance.
