The first satellite of the COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation (CSG-1) is now orbiting the earth. It is a satellite system designed to ensure operational continuity for the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observation services supplied by the satellites in the first generation of COSMO-SkyMed.

EnSilica has announced it is developing a single-chipKa band satellite transceiver IC for the European Space Agency. The mmWave IC will form a key component of next-generation, low-cost hybrid automotive communication terminals – enabling vehicles to always be connected.

Flexible printed circuits can help to save weight, increase reliability, and enhance the functionality of electronic assemblies and interconnects. New manufacturing techniques now enable FPCs of unlimited length to address emerging applications in demanding sectors such as aerospace and automotive. Philip Johnston, CEO, Trackwise explains more.

Renesas Electronics hasannounced the first single-chip synchronous buck and low dropout (LDO) regulator targeting low power FPGAs, DDR memory and other digital loads for spaceflight payload applications. The ISL70005SEH is the only Point-of-Load (POL) power solution that reduces Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) by integrating a synch buck and LDO in one monolithic IC.

Resolve Optics reports on its active participation in designing and supplying robust optical systems for a range of different space projects over the last few years. Many different types of optical imaging and sensing systems are today used to observe and measure the Earth and the universe at large.

The market for unmanned aerial vehicles, or simply UAVs, is booming. But with high demand follows the risk of rushed development. A good example is Beyond Line of Sight operations that have opened new possibilities but also implied new risks of both loss of connection, data or even the UAV itself.

One of the great challenges for the Internet of Things in 2020 will be the improvement of the security and privacy of the connected devices. To achieve this, the collaboration of all the agents of the IoT ecosystem becomes more necessary than ever as evidenced in the recent edition of the IOT Solutions World Congress held at Fira de Barcelona.

Iridium Communications has announced Intellian as the newest manufacturer of Iridium Certus maritime terminals. Intellian is introducing the C700 terminal which will enable a variety of applications including safety, bridge and crew welfare communications, connected ship IoT capabilities like engine monitoring and remote diagnostics, as well as situational awareness reports.

In a few months the European satellite system Galileo will be completed. Most devices with location tracking functions already support it. Even so, their manufacturers should endeavour to implement over-the-air access, as this is the only way that satellite selection can be adjusted on demand as needed – something which can be a critical factor, writes Bernd Hantsche, Director Product Marketing Embedded & Wireless at Rutronik.

Resolve Optics has announced its active participation in designing and supplying robust optical systems for a range of different space projects over the last few years. Designing optical systems for satellites and spacecraft is challenging due to the harsh conditions that space places upon components and systems working in this remote environment.
