PROJECTS
When dome and telescope operate in perfect harmony, the result is seamless functionality.
Test station for ASA astro systems
The birth station. This is where the first Orbyx went live. We manufactured a test station with satellite tracking, brushless technology and autonomous control for ASA Astrosysteme. Designed for applications in the field of astronomy and satellite communication.
The station works with the support of a photovoltaic-based DC power unit, is fully autonomous (PLC-controlled) and designed for the most demanding conditions such as earthquakes.
A technological milestone for future systems - made in Austria.
Research station for quantum physics on the Hafelekar
Science meets metal construction: we are providing the infrastructure for new findings in quantum physics for an EU-relevant research project.
Together with ASA Astrosysteme, we are realising the new "Marietta Blau ground station" for the University of Innsbruck - a precise dome construction for experiments under extreme conditions.
The station on the Hafelekar is an internationally important location for quantum optics and communication. The altitude enables particularly low-interference measurements - ideal conditions for basic research and tests in quantum cryptography.
The construction will be transported to the summit by helicopter at the end of August - we report on the progress of the project.
Chile as a milestone - First Orbyx outside Europe
From Europe to the Atacama: INNOVAMETALL expands its radius of action with two dome projects in Chile - precise technology under extreme conditions
With the ongoing assembly of a 4-metre dome at the Observatorio Cerro Armazones, we are realising our first project outside Europe - a milestone for INNOVAMETALL.
A large 11-metre rotating dome is already in production and is scheduled for installation at the end of the year. Its dimensions, the rotating mechanism and the intercontinental transport pose new technical and logistical challenges - and mark the next step in our international development.
We will report on the progress of the project on an ongoing basis - including on our social media channels
Our projects are not only visible – they’re also tangible.
And sometimes, you have to climb a little higher to experience them.
