Today from the ION GNSS 2010 Conference in Portland, Oregon, Hemisphere GPS announced the release of miniEclipse - a compact dual frequency GPS OEM board that incorporates the same digital and analog ASIC design as the recently released Eclipse II OEM board.
Barr Associates, Inc. is Selected to Build Filter Assemblies for the Landsat Data Continuity Mission
Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp of Boulder, Colorado recently selected Barr to develop, manufacture and test multi-spectral filters for the Operational Land Imager (OLI) they are building for NASA / USGS. These filters are very high performance versions of a filter array technology developed and refined over several years by Barr. Each filter assembly consists of nine individual spectral bands, thus the “multi-spectral” designation. A f...
Kistler Introduces Industry Exclusive Corrsys-Datron Data Logger
Kistler has announced the North American launch of the industry exclusive Corrsys-Datron model CDS-GPS, a high-performance data logger with built-in global positioning system (GPS) for longitudinal vehicle dynamics testing applications.
Tantalum chip capacitors from AVX now deliver higher CV than X5R dielectric ceramic devices
AVX Corporation has more than doubled the volumetric efficiency of its tantalum technology, enabling latest versions of its TACmicrochip capacitor to deliver 15µF/4V and 10µF/6V from a 0402 chip. The CV performance of these TLC series devices is even greater than ceramic MLCC devices using the X5R dielectric.
Intersil introduces industry's best rad-hard, single-ended PWM controllers for high-reliability power conversion applications
ISL7884xASRH series has excellent radiation performance for total dose and single-event effects, is pin compatible with industry standards, and is QML qualified per MIL-PRF-38535
ACAL Technology waits for news of Rosetta Spacecraft
ACAL Technology is entering the final five years of a fifteen-year wait confident that a custom heater mat, designed in collaboration with Honeywell, will fulfill its vital role in allowing the Rosetta spacecraft to sample the surface of the comet, Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Composite Connectors qualified by ESA Space Applications
Souriau has obtained the qualification of the European Space Agency (ESA) for its rectangular miniature range: microComp®. The microComp® connector is the perfect replacement for ESA/ESCC D-Sub connector, which is widely used today in satellite payloads. The microComp® allows a space saving up to 40% and a weight reduction down to 60%.
