November 2nd the DSPE Knowledge Day on Engineering for #Cryogenics took place.


This knowledge sharing event was hosted by theย NOVA Optical Infrared Astronomical Instrumentation Groupย – who develops opto-mechanical cryogenic systems for astronomy – and was held atย ASTRON Dwingeloo, Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy.

Key speakers wereย Sense Jan van der Molenย (NEVAC),ย Maurice Teuwenย (JPE – Driven by innovation),ย Gabby AitinkKroesย (SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research),ย PieterPaul Lerouย (DEMCON kryoz), andย Ramon Navarroย (NOVA Optical Infrared Astronomical Instrumentation Group). A guided tour gave a good overview of theย researchย andย engineeringย activities related to ASTRON and NOVA.

The DSPE would like to thank all participants for joining this knowledge sharing session, the speakers, and the facilitating organisations.
