Über uns
Dürfen wir uns vorstellen?
Turnkey subsystems: units composed of complex, some of even interdisciplinary elements with interfaces directly to the satellite- or spacecraft-system; HPS subsystems are communication antennas, large deployable reflectors incl. arm (LEA), thermal hardware (incl. MLI) and deployable de-orbit sails (ADEO)
Subsystem integrals as key- and/or cross-sectional technologies for many different space applications. Even as small integrals for several functional requirements they represent subsystems within the frame of the large final product. Subsystem integrals are lightweight structures made of carbon fibre (CFRP) and metal, radiators, intelligent structures, and MGSE.
Subsystem elements, single mechanical and thermal parts for integration by the customer; examples are CFRP-electronic housings, reentry- and launcher components, and materials generated through innovative processings like mechanical/thermal connectivity elements from the field of nano technology or Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM).
As specialists in areas mentioned above we also offer technology studies and engineering services for research and development, ranging from structural, thermal and vibro-acoustical analysis to mechanical, thermal and antenna design plus complete solutions for development tasks. In addition, we offer the production and the development of reflective, finely woven metal meshes with our 50% daughter company HPtex GmbH.
Where we stand
The capacities of the HPS-group are solidly rooted on four foundations:
Acknowledged experts for space strategy, sales, project management, project controlling, finance, system engineering, processes, a broad range of engineering disciplines, material- & textile science, manufacturing and integration, quality control.
Highly modern offices and extreme computing capacities (for example NASTRAN, ANSYS, FEMAP, VA One, GRASP, INVENTOR etc).
Company-owned infrastructure for manufacturing and integration, including cleanrooms.
A large network of European partner companies for special developments, production of all kinds of parts, material- and subsystem-tests, as well as to building up international project consortia.
In Germany, at the Munich Headquarters, HPS concentrates on subsystems, engineering, development, management, sales and last not least on the management of the whole group´s business.2016, Performance Structures Inovatie si Dezvoltare S.R.L. has been founded in Bucharest, Romania. HPS-RO meets the needs for additional capacities of HPS at the sectors engineering, development, assembly, secondary and tertiary structures, thermal & RF-components and MGSE (mechanical ground support equipment).Supplier and Partners of HPS-RO are renowned companies, institutions and universities of the special segments in mechanical precision manufacturing, welding technology, material- and construction-characterisation, process verification as well as assembly tests. The final assembly is in the own halls of HPS in Bucharest.
With our subsidiary HPtex, in Upper Franconia, Germany, which was founded in March 2020, we are now also able to produce high-quality reflective metal nets and adapt them to individual requirements. The main applications for our meshes are unfoldable antennas, nanosatellites as well as large Earth observation missions.

Who we are
In the industrial space world the subsystems specialist HPS keeps its own exclusive position right in the middle between the many small and the very few large enterprises – HPS is the „M“ in SME:
self reliant and managed by owners like the small companies
strongly growing and internationally present like the large ones
focused on the level of subsystems and accordingly positioned exactly between product providers and system primes.
In addition and based on this strong position HPS, represented in person by CEO Dr.-Ing. Ernst K. Pfeiffer, holds a range of functions serving the the European space community:
spokesman of the German space-SME committee „AKRK“ within DLR
coordinating member of SME-association “Best-of-Space”
corporate member of the „German-Portugese Society e.V.“, Berlin
corporate member of the „German Asscociation of Aeronautics and Aerospace e.V.“, Bonn
What we do
The portfolio HPS offers to institutional and commercial customers from the international space community is clearly structured:
