Stefan Linke from INVENT, Germany, presents the piezo-electric transducer technology at the European Space Technology Transfer Conference 2007, an initiative of ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme Office. The piezo-electric transducer technology was originally developed for space programmes back in the 1990s. Onboard the Rosetta satellite this technology is used for micro-adjusting the positions of the MIDAS instrument as well as for its vibration damping.
