🚀New event coming next week! 🌍We will be present at the 17th Spacecraft Charging and Technology Conference taking place in Avignon, France from June 17 to 21. 👨🔬 Jeremie Plewa, will be giving a presentation on June 20th on “Internal charging analysis of floating metallic parts with FASTRAD”, based on the work performed in partnership with Airbus Defence and Space 📈The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate on two typical industrial applications how FASTRAD's Internal Charging can treat floating parts. The first application concerns a floating coaxial cable and the second one a floating metallic cover on an electronic component. 💻 The past 20 years, FASTRAD® has been recognized in the space industry as the reference software for advance radiation analysis and shielding optimization. All over the world, over 150 satellite integrators, space agencies and sub-system manufacturers are using FASTRAD® on a daily basis. FASTRAD® allows key calculations using ray-tracing and Forward/Reverse Monte Carlo methods. Want to find out what FASTRAD’s Internal Charging can do for you ? 👉Come listen to Jeremie Plewa' presentation and discuss your project or contact us in advance for a meeting Jérémie-Marie PLEWA Athina Varotsou See you soon ! 👋

Space is a challenging and unforgiving environment demanding the highest performance possible and above all flawless reliability. That's why it is important to take the time to select the best products for the application. In the case of LEO and MEO satellites, radiation-tolerant parts are the best way to ensure peak performance and mission longevity. In this technical article published in New Electronics Magazine, Vicor Senior Application Engineers, Ken Coffman and Salah Ben Doua explain how Vicor radiation-tolerant high-performance power modules deliver best-in-class performance and have been tested to withstand the rigors of space. https://ow.ly/zUOI50SbXKG

🌑🚀 2024 is going to be an exciting year for the European space industry with Europe's new launcher generation Ariane 6 getting ready for its first flight. We're proud to work with ArianeGroup and the European Space Agency - ESA and to be on board Ariane 6's avionics system. Our TTEthernet controllers are integrated into more than 50 avionic units that handle functions like computing, power distribution or thrust-vector actuation and connect to a single, redundant TTEthernet network, the launcher’s ‘nervous system’. Find out more in our Ariane 6 case study at the link below. #tttech #space #Ariane6

We are introducing new solid-state devices that can replace mechanical relays. Using these solid-state latching relays is a good alternative to traditional mechanical or magnetic latching relays in circuits without a supply voltage. Importantly, these solid-state latching relays do not need a supply voltage to stay in their latched state. In space applications, they're the backbone of spacecraft systems, handling critical tasks effortlessly. With features like rapid response times, low leakage current, and high resistance ... Our SSRs are primed for the most demanding missions in space and aerospace. 🛰️ If you would like free access to our editorial… Comment ‘Editorial’ below.

Airbus and SATLANTIS a leading Spanish space company specializing in optical instruments, have recently joined forces through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Their collaboration aims to develop an infrared capability for the Spanish Ministry of Defense (MoD), marking the initial stride towards a future Spanish infrared Earth observation system. This system will serve governmental purposes and possess dual-use capabilities. The partnership will entail the integration of SATLANTIS' optical and thermal cameras onto satellites that are designed and assembled by Airbus in Spain. This collaboration combines the strengths of both entities, leveraging SATLANTIS' expertise and agility in developing cameras for acquiring optical and thermal Earth observation data, along with Airbus in Spain's extensive experience as a prominent space systems integrator. A pivotal aspect of this infrared capability will involve the creation of innovative satellite solutions that encompass high-resolution features within the Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) thermal bands. #Airbus #Satlantis #MoU #Infrared #EarthObservation #AEE #Space #NextSpace #SpacePower #Spain #LWIR #MWIR #DualUse

Push-to-Talk technology successfully demonstrated on Fleet Space’s Centauri-4 satellite SmartSat Cooperative Research Centre (SmartSat CRC) commended Fleet Space Technologies’ successful demonstration of satellite-enabled Push-to-Talk (PTT) capabilities as part of the Defence Space Command-funded ASCEND2LEO project. SmartSat and Safety from Space supported Fleet Space by adapting a variant of the ‘Beagle’ communications waveform, developed under previously SmartSat-funded projects, which Fleet Space implemented on the Centauri-4 satellite for this demonstration. This milestone in PTT capabilities opens a path to more secure, reliable, instantaneous communications across vast distances using highly advanced microsatellite architectures. ASCEND2LEO’s successful demonstration for the Australian Defence Force Joint Capabilities Group showed that Fleet Space’s Centauri satellites can be re-programmed to deliver high-quality, fit-for-purpose voice capabilities while in orbit. Voice capabilities for Fleet Space’s Centauri satellite were enabled via a software update, establishing a proof of concept for the Regenerative Voice System architecture underlying the ASCEND2LEO program. As a result, this demonstration validated the ability of highly adaptable microsatellite constellations to rapidly deliver purpose-built, high-quality SATCOM capabilities at scale to meet complex needs in diverse scenarios. #Satellite #Technology #Space #Centauri4Satellite #PTT #MicroSatellite https://lnkd.in/etku_5bR

“One of the key features is that deployables for antennas, especially solar arrays, can be challenging. And there’s a packaging challenge to try to stow them and unfurl them and keep them in the right shape, especially for certain types of antennas. And so, with the DiskSat, no deployment is required. The solar panel and whatever type of aperture you have for your RF system are already installed, and very flat. So, there’s no need to do calibration or shape it in any way.”
Highlighting some great work here coming from The Aerospace Corporation's Richard Welle and Darren Rowen and their teams for an innovative new design for small satellites, whose form-factor brings several important benefits as described in the article. https://lnkd.in/gP3Vi-8f

#Cube1G is the next development stage in our #OSIRIS family of laser communication terminals. Due to its novel coarse pointing assembly (CPA) it will be largely independent of the satellite's attitude control. The optical head enables the laser beam to be rotated around the horizontal and vertical axes, regardless of the orientation of the satellite itself. The capabilities of Cube1G will be demonstrated in the SeRANIS - Mission on the Athene-1 satellite in cooperation with Bundeswehr University Munich / Munich Center for Space Communications.
🛰 #SeRANIS: What does laser communication from space look like? The laser ground station at the Munich Center for Space Communications As part of the SeRANIS (Seamless Radio Access Network in Space) project, we are working in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) on the construction of a laser ground station at the Bundeswehr University Munich (UniBw M) in Neubiberg. Completion is planned for 2024, and a model of the station can already be viewed at our premises. DLR is currently coordinating the establishment of a national network of optical ground stations. But what contribution does this station make to satellite communication? As part of the SeRANIS project, a laser communication payload from the DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation (IKN) will be used on our Athene-1 satellite. Compared to conventional communication via radio frequencies, one aspect of laser communication stands out in particular: security. This makes it particularly attractive for use in official and government sectors. It also offers ideal conditions for the secure distribution of quantum keys (QKD). The laser ground station therefore opens up a broad spectrum for knowledge transfer, research and numerous other innovations. #rsc #dlr_gsoc #seranis #dtechbw #lasercommunication #qkd German Aerospace Center (DLR) | DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation | Bundeswehr University Munich 🔎 Photo: The finished model in the workshop © Frank Montag
