About us :
Azur Space is an international company from the photovoltaic industry based in Heilbronn, Germany, which develops and produces high-performance triple solar cells and assemblies in gallium arsenide technology for space travel and for terrestrial concentrator systems. In addition to solar cells for space travel, the company also produces CPV solar cells, which accounted for half of the production volume and a third of sales in 2013. [In November 2012, the company set a new world record for efficiency of 43.3% for a medium MOVPE-made CPV solar cell. However, the CPV business almost completely came to a standstill in autumn 2014 due to insolvent bulk buyers. AZUR SPACE is a 100% subsidiary of Renewable Investments Holding SA (RIH), Luxembourg, and thus belongs to the Generali Group. As of January 2014, Azur Space supplied over ten million solar cells made of silicon and 1.5 million made of gallium arsenide for around 400 space projects. The Rosetta comet probe, which received a lot of media attention in 2015, is equipped with solar cells from Azur Space, as is the associated comet lander Philae. Other space projects whose energy supply is based on solar cells from Azur Space or its predecessor companies are satellites from Intelsat, Globalstar, Eutelsat, Galileo, Meteosat, GLONASS and GMES, the Hubble space telescope, the Herschel space telescope, the Planck space telescope and the space probes Venus Express and Mars Express as well as the (as of 2016) current projects ExoMars, BepiColombo, JUICE and Neosat.
