Space projects are fundamentally a team effort, built on a foundation of trust that paves the way for innovation. The receipt of the “Global Supply Chain (GSC) Northrop Grumman Supplier Excellence Award for Strategic Excellence” is a profound honor.
Two high-precision ASTRO APS star sensors from the Thuringian space company Jena-Optronik GmbH are playing a crucial role in NASA's Artemis II mission: they are guiding the Orion spacecraft safely to the lunar orbit.
On 3 September 2025, we had the privilege of receiving a special accolade: NASA recognised our company for our contribution to Artemis I. Aboard the first Orion spacecraft, which successfully orbited the Moon in November 2022, were two of our ASTRO APS star trackers.
