Avio is a leading international group engaged in the construction and development of space launchers and solid and liquid propulsion systems for space travel. The experience and know-how built up over more than 50 years puts Avio at the cutting-edge of the space launcher sector, solid, liquid and cryogenic propulsion and tactical propulsion. Avio operates in Italy, France and French Guyana with 5 facilities, employing approx. 1,200 highly-qualified personnel, of which approx. 30% involved in research and development. Avio is a prime contractor for the Vega programme and a sub-contractor for the Ariane programme, both financed by the European Space Agency (“ESA”), placing Italy among the limited number of countries capable of producing a complete spacecraft.

SPACE FOR LIFE, Thales Alenia Space's aspiration!

A Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering, for more than 40 years, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures. Thanks to our diversity of skills, talents and cultures, our customers (governments, institutions, space agencies, telecommunications operators), therefore have Space to Connect, Secure & Defend, Observe & Protect, Explore, Travel & Navigate. We also team up with Telespazio to form the Space Alliance, which offers a complete range of solutions including services. We are willing to have a win-win approach shared both with our partners and customers. The company recorded consolidated revenues of 2.2 billion euros in 2022 and has 8,500 employees. We operate in ten countries, with 17 facilities in Europe and an industrial plant in the United States. In Space, governments, institutions and companies rely on Thales Alenia Space to design, operate and deliver satellite-based systems that help them position and connect anyone or anything, everywhere, help observe our planet, help optimize the use of our planet's – and our solar system’s – resources

With over 400 employees worldwide, Polytec develops, produces, and distributes optical measurement systems for research and industry. The focus is on the technology areas of vibrometry, velocimetry, surface metrology, process analytics, machine vision and other optical technologies. Whether it's in space travel, architecture, medicine, nanotechnology, or mechanical engineering – Polytec expertise is always in demand across all industries. Laser vibrometry has proven its worth as an ideal tool for materials investigations – both for the measurement of structural dynamics and for the non-destructive detection and prevention of signs of fatigue. There is a wealth of applications in functional and long-term structural monitoring and in geological issues.
Polytec manufactures a wide range of laser vibrometers that are the acknowledged gold-standard for non-contact vibration measurement. Laser Doppler vibrometers analyze samples of different size, from entire car bodies, large bridge parts over engines and actuators to micron-sized MEMS or delicate HDD components. Measuring the transfer functions, amplitudes and resonance frequencies in a non-intrusive way with the simple “point and shoot” method is the Single Point Vibrometer’s specialty.
With the laser-based MPV-800 Multipoint Vibrometer, it is possible to carry out time-synchronous measurements with up to 48 channels and represent both frequency-dependent and time-dependent deflection shapes. The fiber-optic sensor heads are freely configurable and allow to perform flexible measurements – both parallel to a surface or arranged individually around the sample.
