On this day 78 years ago, the first images of Earth were taken from outer space. Since then, there have been many firsts including: The first animals in space -1947 The first artificial satellites to enter orbit - 1957 The first woman in space (Valentina Tereshkova) - 1963 The first orbital rendezvous - 1965 The first man on the moon - 1969 The first lunar rover - 1970 The first soft landing on Mars - 1971 The first photograph of the whole Solar System - 1990 The first multinational space station - 1998 The first discovery of lunar water in the form of ice - 2008 The first observation of gravitational waves - 2015 The first spacecraft to make contact with an asteroid moon - 2022 The first successful instance of both stages of a launch vehicle returned for a controlled landing - 2024 Today, Plextek's mmWave radar technology is a critical part of ClearSpace's CLEAR Mission which aims to solve the problem of an increasingly congested space environment, by removing in-active, in-orbit debris.

How do you enhance product development with 3D printing? Plextek has been investing in 3D printing for almost a decade. In that time we have seen the huge benefits it can have on manufacturing, rapid prototyping and industrial design. This guide gives an overview of our 3D printing technology, it's capabilities and the benefits this has to our clients.

Antenna G/T degradation at High Frequencies (2-30 MHz). In this technical paper, Dr Marcus Walden presents the Antenna G/T degradation incurred when communications systems use inefficient receive antennas. This is crucial when considering propagation predictions at HF, where it is commonly assumed that antennas are efficient/lossless and external noise dominates over internally generated noise at the receiver. Knowledge of the antenna G/T degradation enables correction of potentially optimistic HF predictions. You can access the technical paper here: https://lnkd.in/gjVMi3gg

Innovative Solutions for Harsh Environments. Plextek are proud to have partnered with Emerson a global leader in industrial automation, to develop an advanced inductive coupling solution designed for challenging environments. In industries where extreme conditions like high temperatures, pressure, and vibrations are common, traditional connectivity methods can be unreliable. Our inductive coupling technology provides contactless power and data transfer, ensuring continuous, reliable operation without the wear and tear associated with physical connections. "Plextek's innovative approach and depth of technical expertise were key in overcoming the complex challenges of our project, allowing us to set a new benchmark in our industry for efficiency and reliability in harsh environments." - Emerson Project Manager. 🔗 Read the full case study here: https://bit.ly/3N8HvYn #IndustrialAutomation #Emmerson #Electromagnetic #InductiveCoupling #ExpertEngineering
