Shock recorder offers high performance with seven built-in sensors
The TSR 6DXC Shock Recorder that incorporates built-in sensors in a small, rugged system that makes high shock and vibration data collection easier than ever, has been introduced by DTS. The self-powered system is ideal for unattended monitoring in blast and multi-event impacts. The TSR 6DXC can capture up to 2,000 transient shock events or run as a continuous data recorder for seconds to days.
The industry’s first radiation-tolerant FPGA kit
Microsemi has announced the RTG4 development kit with its recently announced RTG4 PROTO FPGAs. Hailed as the industry’s first radiation-tolerant FPGA kit providing space designers a comprehensive evaluation and design platform, it is suited for the development of applications such as data transmission, serial connectivity, bus interface and high speed designs, using the company’s RTG4 radiation-tolerant high-speed FPGAs.
Space system improves time and costs with 3D printing
Metal 3D printing technology has been developed to help space systems reduce time and costs.
Rad tolerant in amp integrates differential ADC driver
Intersil has announced what it claims to be the industry’s first radiation tolerant 36V in-amp (instrumentation amplifier) featuring an integrated differential ADC driver. The high performance ISL70617SEH differential input, rail-to-rail output in-amp delivers the industry’s highest signal processing performance for low-level sensor telemetry data critical to communication satellites.
Hybrid cable combines multiple options in single product
Molex has introduced Temp-Flex Multicore Cable, a customisable, multi-conductor hybrid cable which uses Temp-Flex and Molex core competencies to combine fine wire, coax, twinax, triax, twisted pair, tubing and strength members in a single high-flex cable solution. A multifunction design combined with high-performance construction allows Temp-Flex Multicore Cable to meet data, signal and power requirements in harsh environments and under critical ...
Space engineers create zero-emission air-conditioning system
The ingenuity of four space engineers has created a zero-emission air-conditioning system that doesn't pollute our atmosphere when we turn it on.Air conditioning for offices, factories, shopping centres and homes has long been recognised as a large contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, and boosting its efficiency would help to combat climate change.
Finland is driving ahead with smart mobility
To promote the latest global trends and innovation in connected cars, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS), Finnish export and investment promotion agency, Finpro, and Frost & Sullivan, are bringing together leaders in the smart mobility industry at an event in London today which is part of Frost & Sullivan’s annual Intelligent Mobility Event.
Galileo PRS signal accessed via the cloud
In a world first, the Public Regulated Service (PRS) of the European satellite network Galileo has been delivered via the 'cloud', paving the way for its automated use by the security and emergency services and critical national infrastructure (CNI) as the secure position and timing service of choice across Europe. Accessing PRS via the cloud overcomes a major problem for some potential PRS users due to the security protocols required when managi...
Quantum satellite device to be used for global network
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Strathclyde, UK, have become the first to test in orbit technology for satellite-based quantum network nodes.They have put a compact device carrying components used in quantum communication and computing into orbit. And it works: the team report first data in a paper published in the journalPhysical Review Applied.
First laser images sent via the European Data Relay System
ESA unveiled the first Sentinel-1 satellite images sent via the European Data Relay System's world-leading laser technology in high orbit.The two images were taken by the radar on the Copernicus Sentinel-1A over La Reunion Island and its coastal area. The first was scanned in a high-resolution mode, the second in a wide-swath mode that provides broad coverage of surrounding waters, and used in particular for maritime surveillance.
