In the field of space technology, Centre Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) has been a partner of the European Space Agency (ESA) for many years. One focus of their joint research is eliminating vibration emissions originating from components aboard satellites. In addition to limiting the precision of attitude control for satellites, these micro-vibrations lead to higher energy consumption and (in the case of imaging missions) cause deterioration of image quality.
