Welcome to the latest edition of our CEO Update. This time, we are talking about Advanced Air Mobility, an exciting new segment in the aerospace sector. When TTTech started its aerospace business more than 25 years ago, Advanced Air Mobility was still an application for the future, but now it has developed into a new, exciting market segment.

TTTech Aerospace contributes to the European modules for NASA’s Lunar Gateway: The Lunar International Habitation Module (Lunar I-Hab) and Lunar View, a refueling module, both built by Thales Alenia Space and funded through the European Space Agency (ESA). This key contribution from ESA to NASA Artemis will use European versions of the TTEthernet networking and computing platforms already implemented in the US-built Gateway modules “PPE” and “HALO”.

As onboard computing power increases and the distance from Earth becomes greater, spacecraft will become even more autonomous. This shift has a significant impact on the skillsets required from astronauts. What remains unchanged, however, are the most important skills: Teamwork and international collaboration!  

Ariane 6’s inaugural flight came with spectacular images captured by the on-board camera system that provided live images   of the stage, fairing and booster separation events, and also included breathtaking views of the Earth from space, during the mission.

Welcome to this new edition of the CEO Update about agricultural technology (AgTech), in particular smart farming and precision agriculture, which have a central place in TTTech’s strategy. 

#IMPACT25 Panel: Safety in human space flight – the astronaut’s perspective We are entering a new era of human space flight. As humanity prepares to return to the Moon and even set foot on Mars, many commercial endeavors in space are also on the rise. One central concept that makes all of this possible is safety. 

A new scientific paper coming out of TTTech Labs was accepted for publication at the 30th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS). Moreover, the paper has received one of four Outstanding Paper Awards at the conference.  

At the beginning of March 2024, TTTech started operating a photovoltaic system on the roof of its headquarters in Vienna's 4th district. The system’s 166 solar panels on 320 m2 produce electricity for the company's own consumption and the surplus will be fed into the Viennese power grid.  

Renowned computer scientist Professor Hermann Kopetz is one of the co-founders of TTTech and the architect of the Time-Triggered Technology that lent the company its name. In 1997, one year before TTTech took up operations, he published his ground-breaking work “Real-Time Systems: Design Principles for Distributed Embedded Applications”. The book is now being used as a standard text at universities all over the world and went into its third edition in 2022.

Welcome to a new edition of the CEO update. Herbert Hufnagl, General Manager of TTTech Industrial joined TTTech CEO and co-founder Georg Kopetz in the Studio as a special guest. Herbert, who has been with TTTech Industrial since 2022, has over 25 years of experience in industrial automation and the development of smart industrial solutions. Together they discussed the exciting topic of edge computing. Why did TTTech go into the field?

A new space race is on, and the Moon will be a stepping stone for further exploration into deep space. This time, the focus lies on establishing a presence in space beyond anything that has been done before.

8 March is International Women’s Day. In line with our anniversary campaign #IMPACT25, we wanted to explore the IMPACT of women on our company, our industry, and the world of science and technology in general. So, we asked our employees for their perspectives on the following questions:

AI may be taking over more and more routine tasks in the future, but we will always need ideas – developed by humans for humans. That’s why the Vienna Business Agency has created the “Erlebnisraum” – a dedicated space in Vienna where children of all ages and social backgrounds can learn how to develop their ideas, using science and technology.
