International Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research & Industry and the Symposium of Nothsteastern Accelerator Particule

The International Conference on the Application of Accelerators in Research & Industry and the Symposium of Nothsteastern Accelerator Particule brings together scientists, engineers, professors, physicians and students from all over the world who use particle accelerators in their research and industrial applications.
On this occasion, Sodern presents two research concerns carbon nanotubes applications on ion source:

• Effect of hydrogen gas on the field emission propreties of carbon nanotubes film
• Integration by simulation of carbon nanotube electron field emitter on a penning ion source

Interviews: Sodern featured in the international media

Sodern was at the SmallSat NewSpace show in Logan, Utah, USA. The company showcases not only its products (Auriga star tracker, space cameras) but also its history and its capacity of permanent innovation.

On this occasion, Satellite Evolution Global (UK) and Utah Public Radio (USA) conducted interviews on Sodern.

Press kit: 60 years of transformation

“In 1962 Sodern, the engineering and nuclear realization company was founded. The company was created to perform a strategic mission: design and build the core of France’s nuclear weapons, the “neutron initiators”. Sodern succeeded in mastering this highly complex know-how and is still today the only company to have this expertise in France.

On the back of this success, France and Europe entrusted the young company with other complex projects, including cutting-edge scientific instruments lying at the heart of the French Earth observation satellites, and disruptive military technologies. 60 years later, Sodern remains true to this technological pioneering legacy, and builds exceptional instruments for the armed forces and space agencies such as NASA, ESA (European Space Agency), and CNES (French Space Agency). From Mars to Venus and Jupiter, Sodern’s instruments have journeyed throughout the Solar system.

But while this technological excellence runs through the company’s blood, it is not an end in itself. Sodern’s goal is two-fold: to stimulate disruptive innovations both for French sovereignty and for private markets, and to become the world leader in its fields of activity. This is a real challenge, demanding the perfect balance between quality and competitiveness.”

Europa Clipper: NASA highlights Sodern’s star tracker

Our star tracker for NASA’s Europa Clipper mission has been delivered to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The star tracker, one of the most challenging ever designed by Sodern, will be critical to determine the spacecraft’s orientation while traveling from Earth to Jupiter.

“It gave me goose bumps to be a few feet away from the star tracker and think about its role in ensuring the success of this daring mission.” “The moment I saw it, I realized even more that our spacecraft is becoming a reality”
