New Radiation-hardened electronics enable military small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to deep space missions

February 13, 2022 Electronics & EW, Industry & Market Dynamics, Material, Mechanical, Space Technology, Defense & Exploration Comments Off on New Radiation-hardened electronics enable military small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to deep space missions

There has been rapid growth in New Space applications like small satellites (small sats) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) mega constellations or satellite swarms. The increased U.S. investment in military space is driving growth in classified and unclassified applications. The Satellite has a large number of electronic systems and …

Enabling technologies of In-Space Assembly (OOS / ISA), automated satellite on-orbit servicing (OOS) and Robotic Manufacturing and Assembly (IRMA)

February 4, 2022 Manufacturing, Mechanical, Space Technology, Defense & Exploration, Unmanned & Autonomous Systems Comments Off on Enabling technologies of In-Space Assembly (OOS / ISA), automated satellite on-orbit servicing (OOS) and Robotic Manufacturing and Assembly (IRMA)

In the history of spaceflight, almost all spacecraft have been manufactured and assembled on the ground, then integrated into a launch vehicle for delivery into orbit. This approach imposes significant limitations on the size, volume, and design of payloads that can be accommodated within the fairing of a single launch …

Non-Line-of-Sight Imaging can be transformative in medicine, robotics, manufacturing, and security

September 12, 2021 Mechanical, Photonics, Security & Threat Management Comments Off on Non-Line-of-Sight Imaging can be transformative in medicine, robotics, manufacturing, and security

We see things because our eyes are sophisticated light detectors: they constantly capture the light rays bouncing off nearby objects so our brain can construct an ever-changing impression of the world around us. Similarly in a camera, All the light traveling from the object enters a single lens before it …

DARPA’s HI-MEMS (Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) created cyborg insects for military micro air vehicles missions

May 1, 2019 Biotech & Synthetic Biology, Electronics & EW, Mechanical Comments Off on DARPA’s HI-MEMS (Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) created cyborg insects for military micro air vehicles missions

In 2006 the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) asked America’s scientists to submit “innovative proposals to develop technology to create insect-cyborgs.” The Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (HI-MEMS) program, also known as the cybug program, was a proposal from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to encourage the …
