LS1046-Space processor passes TID radiation tests
Teledyne e2v has announced that its popular LS1046-Space processor has now passed stringent total ionising dose (TID) radiation tests, achieving 100krad resilience. This multi-core device, which features four 64-bit ArmCortex-A72 processing cores, was able to operate as normal after the TID tests had been undertaken.
Hypertac hyperboloid contacts help explore the Red Planet
NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, Mars Perseverance Rover was launched on July 30th, 2020 and will touch down on the Red Planet on February 18th, 2021. Designed to be the most sophisticated rover NASA has built, the Mars Perseverance Rover will use advanced systems to explore the diverse geological landscape, discover ancient habitats, gather rock and soil samples that will be returned to Earth and demonstrate technology for future human exp...
Invest in photonics now to fight future pandemics
Strong investment in photonics will help us fight infectious diseases that kill an unimaginable number of people and prepare us against future pandemics, says Dr Jürgen Popp of the Leibniz Center for Photonics in Infection Research (LPI) that is currently under construction in Jena.
Lateral flow test device for providing fast COVID tests
ams has announced that it has been awarded funding by the Austrian Federal Ministries for Transport, Innovation, and Technology, and for Digital and Economic Affairs, to speed development of a cloud-connected, highly-sensitive, accurate and unique Lateral Flow Test (LFT) to be used in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus.
BIOS and Lumileds partnership for human centric lighting
Human Centric Lighting (HCL) innovator BIOS, and global lighting solutions provider Lumileds, have joined forces to create a new SkyBlue LED that doubles previously available chip performance. The new 3030 mid-power LED reduces the lumen per dollar development barrier facing luminaire manufacturers and eliminates a key barrier to bringing better, healthier lighting solutions to market.
3 major trends driving growth in the 3D printing
Reports suggest that global aerospace 3D printing materials market size will cross the $495m mark by 2026. Growing popularity of additive manufacturing in the production of intricate lightweight cabin interiors of aircrafts will favour business growth over the coming years. Saipriya Iyer explains.
NASA’s Mars Rover enabled by Intersil radiation-hardened tech
Renesas Electronics hasannounced that more than 20 of its radiation-hardened (rad-hard) integrated circuits (ICs) were onboard the 30thJuly lift off of NASA'sMars 2020 Perseverance rover. A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket, with the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity Mars Helicopter onboard, launched from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
IR HiRel components for NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover
On Thursday, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory sent the Rover Perseverance on a journey to Mars, with the landing on the Red Planet targeted for February 2021. IR HiRel, an Infineon company, supplied thousands of mission-critical radiation-hardened (rad hard) components for the rover.
Shielding the Solar Orbiter against extreme heat
Last February, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter started a two-year journey to provide the first detailed pictures of the sun’s poles and insights about the never-before-observed magnetic environment that regulates the sun’s 11-year solar cycle. But how can a satellite move around the sun without burning?
