When NASA lands scientific instruments on the Moon through its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, German high technology is on board – literally.
Phytron supplies high-precision stepper motors for an instrument developed by the University of Bern, which is scheduled to land near the lunar South Pole in 2029 with Blue Ghost Mission 4 (Firefly Aerospace, USA).
For decades, Phytron has been developing motion solutions that perform reliably under the most extreme conditions – from cryogenic research to deep space missions. With CLPS, our drives once again reach new horizons – this time with a golden touch.

Phytron Stepper Motor in James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope developed by Space Agencies in Europe, USA and Canada is meant to research the oldest galaxies in the universe. On board is a Phytron geared stepper-motor specifically developed for cryogenic applications. The actuator drives the novel cryogenic refocusing mechanism (RMA) in the NIRSpec (Near Infrared Spectrograph).
