🚀 From delivery to orbit: our SCOT80 (Long Range) has reached its next major milestone. Following its successful delivery, the SCOT80 (Long Range) has been integrated into the GPS #Satellite “Hedi Lamarr” and successfully tested. Since April 20, 2026, the #Satellite has been in orbit at an altitude of around 20,000 km above Earth – taking TESAT #OpticalCommunication technology another step into the operational #Space environment. The image below shows our SCOT80 mounted on the #Satellite in its launch position – ready for its journey into orbit. 🌍✨ For #TeamTESAT, milestones like this are a great reminder of what it takes to turn advanced technology into reliable solutions for real missions: engineering excellence, close collaboration and technology proven for space. And the journey continues. 🚀 A big thank you to Lockheed Martin, for kindly granting us permission to share this image. #SpaceMatters

🚀 Successful launch of MTG-I2 – congratulations to EUMETSAT, European Space Agency - ESA, Thales Alenia Space, ARIANESPACE, Centre National d'Études Spatiales, OHB SE and all partners involved! With the launch of Meteosat Third Generation Imager-2 (MTG-I2), another important milestone for Europe’s next-generation weather satellite constellation has been reached. TESAT is proud to have contributed to this ambitious programme with Modulators for the payload and through our Parts Agency. From 2011 to 2018, TESAT acted as the Coordinated Parts Procurement Agent (CPPA) for Meteosat Third Generation, procuring electronic components for the scientific instruments and satellite platforms of four MTG Imager satellites (MTG-I) and two Sounder satellites (MTG-S). The numbers underline the scale of this effort: 🔹 Around 1,800 different component types procured and tested 🔹 More than 200,000 individual components 🔹 Components supplied for 22 different equipment types and companies MTG-I2 will help deliver weather data with unprecedented detail. Its instruments will continuously monitor lightning and rapidly evolving weather systems — supporting European weather services, particularly in the nowcasting of severe weather events. 🌍⛈️ We are proud to have played our part in building the technological foundation for this important European mission. Congratulations to everyone involved – and all the best for MTG-I2’s mission! 🛰️ #TeamTESAT #Space #SpaceMatters Image of MTG-I2 © EUMETSAT

🚀 Congratulations, Frank, on being named to The Photonics 100 – 2026! We are proud to see Dr. Frank Heine, Chief Developer for Laser Systems at TESAT, recognized among The Photonics 100 – The Industry’s Most Innovative People by Electro Optics. For more than three decades, Frank has been shaping the development of #OpticalCommunication at TESAT. Since joining the company in 1995, he has been involved in advancing space-based laser technologies — from the development of the TAU Laser Communication Terminal to today’s next generation of #OpticalCommunication systems. With more than 140 publications and around 2,500 citations, Frank’s work covers key areas including free-space #OpticalCommunications, adaptive optics, atmospheric turbulence, heterodyne and homodyne detection, and advanced modulation and detection techniques. Today, his expertise continues to help drive TESAT’s ambition to be a key enabler of #OpticalCommunication, across Airborne, LEO, MEO and GEO applications. Frank, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! 👏 Thank you for your passion, expertise and commitment to pushing the boundaries of #OpticalCommunications — and for inspiring next generations. #TeamTESAT #Photonics100 #SpaceMatters

🎉 13 Years in Orbit – Still Enabling the Future of Optical Communications! 🛰️ On July 25, 2013, Alphasat was launched into #Space with TESAT's TDP1 Laser Communication Terminal (LCT) and Ka-band payload onboard. Today, 13 years later, both payloads continue to operate reliably in orbit – a remarkable testament to their performance and longevity. 🚀 The TDP1 program has become far more than a technology demonstrator. Over the years, it has provided invaluable in-orbit experience and enabled countless demonstrations, software upgrades, commissioning campaigns, and strategic collaborations. These achievements have helped advance #OpticalCommunication technologies and paved the way for today's operational laser communication networks. With the program extended through 2028, TDP1 continues to serve as a unique platform for innovation and future applications. And the journey is far from over. The next chapter is already taking shape with exciting developments in: ✨ Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) ✨ Airborne Laser Communication Terminals ✨ And many more innovations to come. From proving what's possible to shaping what's next – TDP1 continues to inspire the future of optical communications. #TeamTESAT #OpticalCommunication #SpaceMatters

🚀 𝗩𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗻𝗴 – 𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗺 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗭𝘂𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗳𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗳𝗮𝗵𝗿𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗻 Heute durften wir Dr. Silke Launert, Parlamentarische Staatssekretärin beim Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (BMFTR), Dr. Claudia Andree, Ministerialrätin beim BMFTR sowie Dr. Inge Gräßle, MdB, bei TESAT begrüßen. Im Mittelpunkt des Besuchs stand ein Blick hinter die Kulissen unserer Entwicklung und Fertigung – und die Frage, wie Innovationen noch schneller den Weg aus der Forschung in industrielle Anwendungen finden können. Dabei konnten wir zeigen, wie eng TESAT mit Partnern aus dem regionalen industriellen Mittelstand, Forschungseinrichtungen und Universitäten zusammenarbeitet. Die nachhaltig orchestrierte Forschungs- und Entwicklungspolitik des Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. und der Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur im DLR schafft hierfür eine wichtige Grundlage und stärkt Deutschlands technologische Wettbewerbsfähigkeit im Weltraum. Ein zentrales Thema des Austauschs war der #Technologietransfer. Denn die Innovationen von morgen entstehen heute – in den Bereichen Mikroelektronik, Photonik, Künstliche Intelligenz und Quantentechnologien. Entscheidend ist, diese Technologien schnell und erfolgreich in industrielle Anwendungen zu überführen. Ebenso im Fokus: die #Industrialisierung. Mit dem kontinuierlichen Ausbau unserer Produktionskapazitäten für Hochfrequenz- und optische Kommunikationssysteme sowie digitale Lösungen bereitet sich TESAT auf die steigenden Anforderungen zukünftiger Raumfahrtmissionen vor. Denn leistungsfähige #Raumfahrt braucht mehr als innovative Ideen. Sie braucht eine resiliente industrielle Basis, starke Partnerschaften entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette und die Fähigkeit, Spitzentechnologien zuverlässig in die Serienfertigung zu bringen. Vielen Dank für den offenen und konstruktiven Austausch. Gemeinsam schaffen wir die Voraussetzungen dafür, dass Innovationen aus Deutschland auch künftig ihren Weg in den #Weltraum finden. #TeamTESAT #SpaceMatters #BMFTR
