Saft has signed a new multi-year LTA (Long Term Agreement) with Astrium to supply the onboard lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery modules for every Eurostar GEO (Geosynchronous Earth Orbit) communications satellite to be built over the next years. This latest LTA renews and extends the previous agreement between Saft and Astrium that commenced in 2006. The new LTA covers the supply of the onboard battery modules, built with Saft’s high-energy VES140 a...

u-blox, a leading fabless vendor of embedded positioning and wireless communications semiconductors and solutions, is pleased to announce that its UBX-G5010 single-chip GPS receiver is at the heart of Navilock’s new USB GPS logger device designed for Windows XP and Vista.

u-blox and Rohde & Schwarz (R&S), a worldwide leading supplier of test and measurement equipment, have successfully concluded a simulation of the soon-to-be-deployed European Galileo satellite positioning system. The test, carried out with the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator and its GNSS simulation options, verified the u-blox proof-of-concept and the compatibility of u-blox receiver technology with the Galileo transmission protocol.

Hemisphere GPS introduces the new A220 and A221 smart antennas at the ION GNSS 2009 Conference in Savannah, Georgia. In rugged, portable all-in-one enclosures, the A220 and A221 deliver centimeter-level positioning accuracy for precise guidance, machine control and survey applications. Combining Hemisphere GPS' Eclipse dual frequency receiver and antenna technology with optional radio modem, the A220 and A221 are capable of supporting RTK, SBAS a...

Today from the ION GNSS 2010 Conference in Portland, Oregon, Hemisphere GPS announced the release of miniEclipse - a compact dual frequency GPS OEM board that incorporates the same digital and analog ASIC design as the recently released Eclipse II OEM board.

Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp of Boulder, Colorado recently selected Barr to develop, manufacture and test multi-spectral filters for the Operational Land Imager (OLI) they are building for NASA / USGS. These filters are very high performance versions of a filter array technology developed and refined over several years by Barr. Each filter assembly consists of nine individual spectral bands, thus the “multi-spectral” designation. A f...

Kistler has announced the North American launch of the industry exclusive Corrsys-Datron model CDS-GPS, a high-performance data logger with built-in global positioning system (GPS) for longitudinal vehicle dynamics testing applications.

AVX Corporation has more than doubled the volumetric efficiency of its tantalum technology, enabling latest versions of its TACmicrochip capacitor to deliver 15µF/4V and 10µF/6V from a 0402 chip. The CV performance of these TLC series devices is even greater than ceramic MLCC devices using the X5R dielectric.

ISL7884xASRH series has excellent radiation performance for total dose and single-event effects, is pin compatible with industry standards, and is QML qualified per MIL-PRF-38535

ACAL Technology is entering the final five years of a fifteen-year wait confident that a custom heater mat, designed in collaboration with Honeywell, will fulfill its vital role in allowing the Rosetta spacecraft to sample the surface of the comet, Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
