- BSBF2026, here we come! The Big Science Business Forum kicks off today in Maastricht, and the AMOS team is ready! On 28-29 October, find us at booth A025 in the Belgian Pavilion! Get in touch with Xavier Verians, our Business Development Director, to meet onsite and explore how we can unlock your next mission. See you in Maastricht!
- Coupling light from a telescope into a single-mode fibre leaves very little room for error: the fibre core is only a few micrometres wide. Guillaume Brankart automated that alignment in his Master’s thesis at AMOS, after his Aerospace Engineering studies at University of Liège. He now brings this engineering background to a different question: what U.S. manufacturers need from femtosecond laser micromachining. He joins LASEA through the Explort+ programme of Wallonia Export & Investment Agency (AWEX), and will be based at our U.S.
- AMOS will be attending the 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦, #BSBF2026, taking place from 𝟮𝟳-𝟯𝟬 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐭, the Netherlands. BSBF is where Europe’s Big Science key players and high-tech industry sit down together: a chance to start new collaborations, create business opportunities and drive technological innovation. Looking for custom-built systems for space, science & industry, come talk to us at 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝟬𝟮𝟱, in the Belgian Pavilion area. Let’s connect!
- At ICSO 2026 in Sorrento this week 🔭 Every two years, the International Conference on Space Optics gathers the entire European space optics chain in the same rooms: agencies, instrument primes, institutional end-users and the research institutes shaping tomorrow’s missions. It is a snapshot of what is really being designed, built and calibrated across Europe. This year, AMOS is not only in the room, we are also on stage with four papers: - CHIME - MADOCS - ELOIS - HiBiDiS / CALHYS Throughout the week, the team is showcasing
- As IAC 2026 in Antalya comes to a close, the AMOS journey continues! 🚀 It has been a great few days at the Belgian Pavilion, connecting with the global space community and exchanging insights on high-precision optics and opto-mechanical systems. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, as well as to our fellow Belgian exhibitors for the great conversations and energy throughout the congress. Next stop: ICSO 2026 in Sorrento, Italy! 🇮🇹 Next week, AMOS will be attending the International Conference on Space Optics (ICSO),
- GREATER LIÈGE Non, les Liégeois ne sont pas (que) sympas. On oublie souvent qu’ils sont aussi entreprenants, innovants, créatifs. Des entreprises leaders mondiales, des innovations exceptionnelles, des infrastructures de premier plan, une offre remarquable d’enseignement et de formation,... la métropole liégeoise (Liège, Verviers, Huy, Waremme) est de celles qui comptent en Europe. Aujourd’hui, Greater Liège vous en apporte la preuve www.greaterliege.be Portée par de nombreux acteurs privés et publics, la démarche Greater Liège
- From spacecraft attitude determination to tracking objects in orbit, star trackers are capable of much more than many people realize. We're excited to share that arcsec will be presenting two papers at the 2026 AMOS Conference: 🚀 ASTRA-Net: A Hybrid CNN Detection and Poisson Labeled Multi-Bernoulli Tracking Framework for SSA using Star Trackers A novel approach combining AI-based detection and advanced multi-target tracking to enable Space Situational Awareness using star tracker imagery. 🚀 Assessing Space Debris Observability:
- Hallo Noordwijk 🇳🇱 AMOS is heading to #IndustrySpaceDays2026, ESA's matchmaking event for the European space sector, at European Space Agency - ESA, on September 16–17. Two days where the whole ecosystem sits down together: ESA directorates, primes, SMEs and research centres, all looking for the partners that will turn the next missions into hardware. Exactly the kind of room where our optical and optomechanical systems find their next application. Planning to be there? Etienne Renotte will be on site for the two days. Reach out
