Designed to enable prototyping of space systems, Microsemi has announced the availability of its RTG4 PROTO FPGAs. The RTG4 PROTO FPGAs enable lower cost prototyping and design validation activities for the latest radiation-tolerant high-speed FPGAs and are also claimed to be the only reprogrammable prototyping solution of their kind providing the same timing and power characteristics as space flight units.

The mining, navigation, minerals exploration and environmental hydrology sectors are set to benefit from University of Queensland research into quantum technology. UQ School of Mathematics and Physics theoretical physicist Dr Simon Haine has demonstrated a technique that can be universally applied to theoretical calculations of matter-wave dynamics and used to improve the sensitivity of measurement devices.

Harwin has announced that several industries - satellites, robotics, motor sport – are now preferring to specify the company’s 2mm pitch Datamate family of high reliability connectors with jackscrews, rather than latches or other fixing mechanisms, to ensure secure connection. As well as guaranteeing connector retention and signal integrity, the J-Tek jackscrew fixing is also being used to connect PCBs together in innovative configura...

The Swedish Space Corporation (SSC), a company providing advanced space services, announced its newest project dedicated to lowering the operational costs of small satellites. The product, called SSC Infinity, is a set of new ground operations services that will utilise full-motion antennas in the five-meter or smaller class. The company hopes that its newest offer will reduce risks associated with satellite launch, insertion, system and constell...

Two of the UK’s leading tech-cluster organisations, Innovation Martlesham (IM) and Cambridge Wireless (CW), have agreed to strengthen links and increase collaboration to help drive further innovation in the wireless and ICT industry and support new tech start-ups as well as more established mobile and ICT businesses.

Data Device Corporation (DDC) has announced that it has expanded its space market capabilities and product offering with the acquisition of the Microelectronics group from Maxwell Technologies. Maxwell is aleading developer and manufacturer of innovative, cost-effective, space-qualified microelectronics solutions for satellites and spacecrafts.

Sailors working on vessels spread across the Earth’s oceans and seas must be better connected than astronauts, who’s working environment is hundreds of kilometres into space, right? Well, recent research from the 2015 Crew Connectivity Survey and sources such as NASA and The Atlantic has taken a closer look at the communication services that are provided to sailors, as well as the limiting factors that impact accessibility, making a d...

As the exclusive UK distributor Aerco is increasing its stockholding of the comprehensive range of CECC qualified and MIL SPEC relays from Italian relay manufacturer, Hi-g.This increased commitment is to cater for expanding application areas that now include all types of instrumentation and control equipment used in the military and aerospace, civil aviation, satellites and industrial process control industries.

Technology designed to unfurl space satellites at 30,000 miles above the earth is behind a revolutionary new design of the travel cot that will make travelling with baby a whole lot easier when it launches in the UK in July.When aeronautical engineer, Fujia Chen, was babysitting her nephew and struggling with an awkward, bulky travel cot she knew that there had to be an easier way.

A team of engineers has developed and tested a type of steel with a record-breaking ability to withstand an impact without deforming permanently. The steel alloy could be used in a wide range of applications, from drill bits, to body armor for soldiers, to meteor-resistant casings for satellites.
