Nicomatic to showcase space-proven hi-rel connectors
Nicomatic will showcase its high-reliability, space-proven modular interconnects – including its new FFCs for space: dense, lightweight flexible cables that ensure signal and power connection in all types of space applications – on stand D37 at Space-Comm Expo 2024, taking place from March 6 to 7, at Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre in Farnborough, UK.
NASA fixes 24-billion-km Voyager-1 glitch
The US space agency announced that its Voyager-1 probe is now transmitting usable information back to Earth, following a period of incoherent signals. This milestone has been achieved despite the spacecraft's age of 46 years, making it humanity's most distant object. A computer malfunction had previously halted the return of intelligible data since November; however, engineers have successfully rectified this issue.
Filtronic win contract with ESA’s ARTES programme
