Led by experience.
Driven by curiosity.

This past weekend, it was finally time: we, the apprentices at Comet, lined up at the starting line of the 6h de Fribourg – a national race held as part of the Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP). After weeks of designing, testing, and teamwork, the big moment had arrived. And while the race turned out very differently than we’d hoped, it became an experience we won’t forget anytime soon.

At Comet, we believe progress starts with curiosity – and few frontiers spark it like space. That’s why we’re partnering with Project HERMES as a sponsor – supporting the student team at ARIS to build and launch a bi-liquid propulsion rocket at the European Rocketry Challenge (EuRoC) in 2025. If successful, it will be the first Swiss rocket of its kind to reach an altitude of 8000 m – a major milestone for student aerospace in Switzerland. From cryogenic propellants to guided recovery, HERMES is a showcase of what happens when curiosity meets collaboration. Just like in our own work, their success depends on precision, teamwork, and a drive to go beyond – values we share as they reach for the skies.

Comet is proud to introduce the FYNE 160 NF4, our high-end open X-ray source designed for demanding high-resolution applications such as those of the semiconductor and electronics industries. Developed by our X-ray Modules team, FYNE is a breakthrough in precision inspection, offering nanoscale imaging capabilities for the growing volume of smaller, more powerful components. Read on to discover how FYNE is setting a new standard for high-resolution inspection.
