Rad-tolerant NAS With up to 1 TBytes in 2.5-inch SSD
Aitech Systems, a provider of rugged boards and system level solutions for military, aerospace and space applications, has released the most compact network attached storage (NAS) device available for use in near earth orbit (NEO) and low earth orbit (LEO) space applications.
RSK led research achieves results in an 'Edison moment'
Nature magazine has published results showing that, for the first time ever, an object buried below ground has been identified using quantum technology as a sensor.
Axiom to discuss private astronaut space station mission
NASA experts will join a virtual news conference hosted by Axiom Space to preview the launch of Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1), the first private astronaut mission to the International Space Station.
NASA's Cygnus mission to International Space Station
On 19th February, 2022, a supply of 8,300 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo launched from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
Satellite imaging technology to detect environmental changes in near real-time
ABB has been awarded a contract worth around $30 million by the Canadian data and analytics company EarthDaily Analytics Corp. (EDA) to develop and manufacture next-generation multispectral imaging systems to be placed on 10 satellites (including an in-orbit spare) that will circle the Earth.
Sustainable transport is taking off with eVTOLs
The urban air mobility market is forecasted to reach $12.7bn, and $1.5 trillion in the next 20 years. To get urban aerial mobility (UAM) up and running, eVTOL (electrical vertical take-off and landing) aircrafts must be proven safe and reliable, air traffic management has to be adapted to accommodate, and the public will need to accept them as a new mode of transport.
Beamforming RFIC designed for Ku-Band
The F6513S is an 8-channel, transmit, active beamforming, RFIC from Renesas that is designed for application in Ku-Band (14.4 to 17.3 GHz) planar phased array antennas for communications or radar applications.
Absolute EMS completes AS9100 Rev D recertification
Absolute EMS, is a provider of turnkey and consignment manufacturing services, has announce that it has successfully completed its 2022 surveillance audit for the AS9100 Rev D SAE International Aerospace Standard, again with zero findings. The company manages, controls and audits its own processes, in addition to having outside certification bodies verifying that its QMS meet the requirements.
Microwave spectrometer for interstellar research
Microwave spectroscopy is a very powerful tool for discovering molecular structures and operates at very low temperatures near absolute zero (1 to 5 Kelvin). The spectrometers generally either operate with high sensitivity over a very narrow bandwidth or a wide frequency with reduced sensitivity.
5G deployment slowed amidst aviation concerns
5G has been a contentious topic for years, critics’ accusations ranging from its ‘cancer-causing’ capabilities to unsubstantiated myths which link it to coronavirus. More recently, however, truth has been discovered in the danger of 5G. Concerns have arisen regarding the latest C-Band service which can interfere with aircraft operations and cause aviation instability.
