Let’s shape the future of space missions together! 🌠 At Space Tech Expo Europe, we proudly announced the exciting partnership with Axient Systems and Blue Canyon Technologies. Together, we'll deliver turn-key space mission lifecycle services to the Netherlands. This collaboration, known as Scalea Space Systems, brings together unmatched expertise to offer European-based end-to-end satellite and mission solutions, allowing governments and companies to focus solely on their space mission goals. With Scalea Space Systems we are involved in the PAMI-1 mission, a flagship initiative for the Dutch Space Security Center. Building on the success of this mission, ScaleaSpace Systems combines capabilities in: ⭐Mission Engineering ⭐Space Vehicle Manufacturing ⭐Payload Integration ⭐Launch Services ⭐Mission Operations We are excited to tell you more at the Netherlands Pavilion at Space Tech Expo in Bremen, or drop by at our booths at #NEDS in Rotterdam to discover innovative mission solutions. Our promise? You bring the payload – we handle the rest!

We are reflecting on a successful ASPE Annual Meeting in Houston, where we highlighted our commitment to enabling #technologies. ✅ At our stand in the commercial exhibit, we engaged with technology enthusiasts and industry experts, showing our latest advancements through the HoloLens. ✅ For the third year running, we proudly sponsored the ASPE Student Challenge, supporting the next generation of #engineers. ✅ Ton Peijnenburg contributed to a dynamic session on creating business opportunities based on technological challenges in high-tech equipment. ✅ Our colleagues from VDL ETG Technology & Development B.V. presented insights on the topic: "Dynamic Balancing a 1-DOF Positioning Stage to Maximize External Vibration Rejection." #hightech #innovation American Society for Precision Engineering Rick Baade Rob Van Wouw

Mechanical engineer and technical generalist Rick eagerly dives into every aspect of a project, even those outside his usual expertise. His versatility and curiosity have ensured successful projects over his four years at VDL ETG Technology & Development B.V. in Almelo. No matter the challenge: he and his team always find a solution. As Rick is transitioning into a supervisory role, he emphasises the importance of mastering the entire process - from creating the initial design to CE documentation, technical drawing, and the release phase. “You need to be able to use programs, design cleanly, perform calculations, and conduct tolerance analysis: even if you don’t do all of these daily,” Rick explains. ‘’Currently, I’m designing tooling for the magnetic plate, a project that involves extensive research and practical testing. Thanks to this hands-on approach to testing — applying an adhesive, measuring, adjusting settings, and inventing new tests myself — I understand the data thoroughly.’’ One of Rick’s career highlights was delivering specific tooling within the first six weeks at VDL ETG, which remains operational today. “But seeing the VDL logo on any project, even those not directly related to VDL ETG, fills me with pride and a sense of togetherness.’’ #MechanicalEngineer #innovation #hightech
