Kayser-Threde GmbH based in Munich, Germany is a systems house specializing in applications in crewed and uncrewed space missions, optics, telematics, crash test data acquisition, and process control for the rail sector. On September 1, 2014, Bremen-based OHB System AG and Munich-based Kayser-Threde GmbH merged under the name OHB System AG, combining both companies' capabilities and capacities.

Space

Kayser-Threde has delivered over 100 scientific instruments, systems and sub-systems for crewed space stations, satellites and interplanetary missions. Optical systems and subsystems for eight space telescopes and space cameras for astronomical and earth observation have been implemented.

Industrial applications

  • Automotive
  • Process Control Systems

The automotive and process control applications have their origins in Kayser-Threde's astronautics activities. Thus, they are examples for transfer of technology spin-off.
