It is called Wasp-103b, has 1.5 times the mass and twice the diameter of Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System. It is an exoplanet in the shape of a rugby ball and was discovered by a team led by Portuguese researcher Susana Barros, from the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences (IAstro). An achievement carried out within the scope of an ESA - European Space Agency mission involving the CHEOPS (Characterizing Exoplanet Satellite), whose accuracy confirmed the astronomers’ assumptions. A project with the significant participation of Portuguese companies, among which FHP - Frezite High Performance, the Group’s space company. Read more here FHP configured the instrument and manufactured parts of the hardware (housings, metallic components, and coatings). The ANITA-2 instrument is currently operating in perfect conditions, monitoring the air on the International Space Station (ISS). See here ANITA-2 already monitoring air on the International Space Station Watch German astronaut Matthias Maurer taking the ANITA-2 (Analysing Interferometer for Ambient Air) out of its packaging and place it in Destiny Lab - NASA’s first permanent orbital research station. The german EnMAP hyperspectral imaging satellite, which features several multilayer coatings and an optical baffle designed, manufactured, and assembled by FHP has proven to be a success. The first images of the satellite for VNIR/ SWIR presented by the German Space Agency (DLR - Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) demonstrates the excellent performance of the system. So, FHP is continuing its successful foray into commercial satellites.
