Instrument Development Lab

Instrument Development Lab („Cermak Lab“)

The Cermak-Lab focuses on the development of next-generation space instrumentation based on mass spectrometry. It drives innovation in sensor technology for planetary science, Earth orbit monitoring, space mining, and environmental applications. The lab bridges research and industry through technology transfer initiatives, enhancing European and global capabilities. It contributes critical data to support past, present, and future missions. Collaboration and prototyping are central to its mission of technological excellence.

Our mission is to:

Example: Small in size, massive in impact – we develop compact, high-resolution mass spectrometers for space exploration. If you’re ready to be part of our mission, contact us now!
