Space is one of the toughest environments that designers must face. Far from the protection of Earth’s atmosphere, satellites and probes are exposed to hazardous levels of radiation. The connectors and cables that carry signals throughout the spacecraft must be protected to ensure their performance.
Innovative Solutions for Optimizing LEO/MEO Satellite Network Performance.
Ideal for propelling tiny satellites, the lightweight devices could be produced on board a spacecraft and cost much less than traditional thrusters.
The evolution of new launch systems has made space exploration more accessible than ever. Designers need low-profile connectors that will survive the harsh environments found in orbit. Find out how Harwin is developing connector solutions for the next generation of nanosatellites.
Understanding IMU data sheets, manufacturers' testing methods, and the impact of environmental factors on performance.
The method could help communities visualize and prepare for approaching storms.
Space deployment presents significant engineering challenges for electronic and electrical systems, requiring engineers to specify components with properties suited to harsh environments and acute size, weight, and power (SWAP) constraints.
Recently we launched new Edge Impulse functionality that shows just one of the powerful ways that LLMs can be utilized on the edge: using GPT-4o to train a 2,000,000x smaller model, that runs directly on device.
