Next-Generation “Viper” Fiber Positioners from NEW SCALE Technologies

ByRedaktion

We’re excited to announce a new program creating next-generation “Viper” fiber positioners for the Via Project, a collaboration between Carnegie Observatories, the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, and Stanford University.

We are thrilled to be celebrating our mechatronics contributions to this exciting program, and wish our colleagues well at the upcoming SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation show in Yokohama, Japan!

“This new Viper positioner reflects the best capabilities of our mechatronic technologies and team. We are combining our newest generation of motors, sensors, electronics and software to achieve the most demanding science objectives of the
Via Project.”

David Henderson, Founder and CEO at New Scale
