🚀 Creating the Future of Space-Bound Communication Systems is no easy task. It demands an extraordinary level of tenacity, agility, and a relentless drive to excel. For those with the right mindset, it’s an incredibly rewarding journey—one that I’m proud to share with my team every day at Blue Marble Communications Inc. Here’s a glimpse into that process: 🔧 Design Phase: The journey begins with a meticulously crafted design, aimed at developing a robust and efficient communications system tailored to the unique demands of satellite operations. Key considerations include maximizing data throughput, optimizing power consumption, and ensuring reliable communication in the harsh environment of space. 🧪 Testing and Validation: Rigorous testing is essential to ensure the system can endure extreme conditions. This phase includes vibration testing to simulate the launch environment, electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing to maintain signal integrity, and thermal vacuum chamber tests to validate performance in the vacuum of space. Each test ensures the system can maintain a stable and secure communication link under various stress conditions. 🛰️ Integration and Deployment: Integrating the flight computer into the satellite involves harmonizing multiple subsystems to ensure flawless data transmission and reception. End-to-end validation guarantees that the system is mission-ready, capable of handling the demands of seamless communication between Earth, orbit, and beyond. Finally, launch and deployment mark the culmination of this exciting journey. 😎 #AerospaceEngineering #SatelliteCommunications #Innovation #SpaceTechnology #EngineeringExcellence #DesignProcess

This is a motion-compensating #satellite array installed on a #ship. These are used for latency-sensitive satellite communication and tracking applications onboard ships at sea. Mechanical actuators detect the pitch, roll and heave of the ship from the waves, and adjust the satellite dish trajectory on a gyro-stabilised base. Cool! #maritime #engineering #communication

The functionality in the latest release (ie, R2024a) of the #Matlab Satellite Communication Systems Toolbox is cool. So (Tele-)Communication Systems Engineer should check it out, if you are not on the MBD (Model Based Design) train yet. IMO, engineers who are not on the MBD train yet, are being left behind. That's where Engineering Design is at right now. Get on the train! There are more info, demos and tutorials including the use of Deep Learning for design (no, not LLM chatbot design, but device embedded software Telecom design) that one can find in the homepages of the Satellite Toolbox and the related Communication Systems Toolbox from the links posted in the comments.

🚀 Check out the latest article by Chris Plain on The Debrief about our new 1,260-square-meter “Reloaded” factory set to significantly boost production of our GO-2 Field Emission Electric Propulsion systems. 📰 Article: https://lnkd.in/eJV3Gxtn Our President, Kevin Lausten, highlighted the industry's growing need for such a facility: “One of the biggest problems satellite operators face today is the limited supply of available propulsion systems. We intend to sufficiently scale production of GO-2 to match this growing demand. By offering a more affordable and readily available propulsion system able to facilitate all necessary maneuvers from initial orbit to de-orbit, the GO-2 marks an important leap for the industry.” Unlike traditional propulsion systems, the GO-2 uses a metal alloy propellant to provide efficient and reliable satellite movement. Our COO, Martin Kelterer emphasized the importance of our production quality: “The quality of the production processes is of paramount importance in order to deliver reliable and efficient products to our customers.” 👉 To find out more or to secure your own GO-2 visit https://lnkd.in/gy2UgUQ8. #SpaceInnovation #ElectricPropulsion #MorpheusSpace #SatelliteTechnology #SpaceTech #ElectricPropulsion #InSpaceMobility #SystemsEngineering #SatelliteMobility #MobilityinSpace #propulsion 

Engineers use a thermal vacuum chamber (TVC) for testing #satellite products primarily because it simulates the extreme conditions of outer space more accurately than any other testing method. Here's why: Vacuum Conditions: Space is a vacuum, meaning it lacks any significant atmosphere. Testing components or entire satellites in a vacuum chamber allows engineers to observe how they perform in this environment, including how materials react without atmospheric pressure. Temperature Extremes: Space experiences extreme temperature variations, from scorching heat when facing the sun to freezing cold in the shadow. A thermal vacuum chamber can replicate these conditions by controlling the temperature inside the chamber, allowing engineers to assess how satellite components react to such temperature fluctuations. Thermal Cycling: Satellites undergo rapid temperature changes as they move between sunlight and shadow during orbit. Thermal vacuum chambers can simulate this thermal cycling by quickly changing the temperature within the chamber, helping engineers evaluate how components expand and contract under such conditions. Elimination of Contaminants: By operating in a vacuum, the chamber eliminates the presence of contaminants such as dust, moisture, and other gases that could affect satellite performance. This ensures that test results are not influenced by environmental factors. Test Environment Control: Engineers can precisely control the conditions inside the chamber, allowing them to repeat tests under consistent conditions and make accurate comparisons between different designs or iterations of satellite components. Thermal vacuum chambers provide a controlled environment that closely mimics the harsh conditions of space, allowing engineers to test satellite products before they are launched into orbit thoroughly. This helps ensure the reliability and functionality of the satellites once they are deployed in space. #space #nanosat #TVC #testandmeasurement #engineering #producttesing #reliability #xtemp #testing #productdevelopment
